Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    I love this controller and I could not play without it, but the quality is not the best and i have to replace it about once a year.

    Great controller. Only issue is it's hard to grip as compared to other regular xbox controllers. Learning curve will hopefully help.

    My son only asked for 2 things for Christmas so I had to get him this and I will say it’s a nice upgrade from the standard controller. I really dig the built in charger in the carrying case.

    LB Button Stopped Functioning - Reoccurring Issue

    |
    |
    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have purchased 2 of these controllers. One a couple of years ago, and one about a month ago. Both have had the LB button stop functioning properly. It took the first one about 6 months to fail, and the second about 2 weeks (just after return period). Outside of the LB button issue, the controller is fairly solid. Since this is a repeated issue, it has to be an issue with the components. NOT what you would expect for the price. I would recommend looking at other options in the same price point.
