    This is the second of these controllers we purchased for our grandson, this time we got the warranty plan... Evidently, it's all the 15 year olds want to use and are sold out most places.

    I've owned this controller for 6 months and my biggest concern was the quality, I'm glad to report I have not had any issues with this controller and I use it on both my Xbox and a gaming PC.

    Some units come broken, but at the store and check all the joysticks and triggers etc before you take it home. Great otherwise.

    Buy it with a warranty. Go read the reddit thread. The controller feels great in the hand and the paddles are wonderful. The stick drift and other issues... I have (2) elites and one is with Microsoft for repairs and this one from Best Buy is getting exchanged as the right stick started having major drift issues tonight.

    If you’re serious about gaming.. this is it.. just make sure you purchase the warranty plan at bb. These fail sometimes within 2 years.. the warranty will take care of it for you!

    Wish I would have spent the money sooner. Buttons underneath are placed great and no battery pack underneath means no random disconnects.

    I order a used controller in good condition, missing parts one but that’s fine I don’t care about the attachment pieces, what do they send me? A totally different one that is supposed to be in better condition. Why am I complaining? Because the controller that’s in “great condition” is broken and badly stick drifts along with the rubber grip peeling up in the corners.. honestly this company is a massive pain to deal with so I just took the loss. NEVER SHOP WITH BEST BUY. Also not to mention they broke my car in geeksquad and it took them a year to pay me for the damages but that’s a whole different story.

    Amazing i love it I own 3 of them they all work great but since having 3 I have noticed the back trigger adjustment break pretty easily so be a little more cautious when playing
