- Pros mentioned:FeelCons mentioned:Button quality
Y button only registers on perfectly centered push
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Playing FPS game and the Y button won't register the push to change weapons while in firefights unless i very carefully and firmly press the center. I'm hoping this is just a bad/defective unit, but only option is to return without a replacement since Best Buy has no stock available. Otherwise the controller feels wonderful and plays great, but not registering every button push on a nearly $200 controller is not acceptable.
