Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options offered by this controller. Users frequently highlight the comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality feel during gameplay. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the long-term durability of the buttons and the potential for stick drift. Additionally, while many appreciate the design, some find the premium price point and specific bumper functionality to be areas for improvement.

    The features of this controller are nice and it’s a solid feel. Unfortunately I’ve have problems with connectivity and power cut outs while playing games. Very irritating. I would buy another but the bugs are too annoying.

    It doesn’t have a month of use and the right joystick is already drifting down really bad. Is really expensive, you would think you would not have a problem like that.

    It’s a great control but the LT sticks. That is unacceptable for a $200 control that is only a few days old. Very disappointed.

    Very cheap made product for the price! Microsoft needs better quality assurance on the cost of this product. I’ve had the side grips come off after 2 months and I’ve had to Gorilla glue it back on. After a year and a half the left analog and dpad flickers up and down or left and right while attempting to traverse the menu! This product needs to be made better it’s unacceptable! Don’t waste your money you’ll be unsatisfied!

    Good condition, came with all parts. Some of the colors for changing the Xbox button don’t seem to work properly but that’s purely cosmetic.
