Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    This is a marked improvement over the previous model but is still without its issues. Mainly it randomly disconnects from Bluetooth while playing any game on PC. There is no rhyme or reason that I can tell, but its been a know issue since launch. There doesn't seem to be any part of Microsoft that wants to acknowledge the issue either. I've been told by their support to buy the Xbox controller wireless adapter, which in my opinion is unacceptable. For a nearly $200 peripheral that has a wireless technology built in that should allow me to play, the fix should not be to buy another $30 part. Other than that the upgrades they did to this controller are far better than before. The controller grips are one piece now so it shouldn't separate and fall apart like the last one. Also the bumper design has been retooled so the broken bumpers shouldn't be an issue anymore. Hopefully the push a firmware fix for the connection issues soon because having the controller flake out during a game is very annoying.

    Best Buy employee was great. Price matched the controller with Amazon. Gave it 3-Stars because it had stick drift fresh out of the box. Thats a Microsoft thing though, not a Best Buy issue. Maybe consider a Scuff instead?
