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.

    Attempted to purchase a “Like New” used controller but the controller was in terrible condition. Unlikely somebody actually inspected it before determining it’s “like new” condition.

    Worst controller I have ever purchased

    Worst controller I have ever purchased. The magnet for the analog sticks is extremely loose so the analog sticks contantly fly off on games that require quick movement and are geared towards more competitve players. How hard would it be to add in a twist lock for the analog sticks? Paying $200 for an overhyped controller.

    Paid for a brand new in the box controller and pretty sure I got an open box or someone’s return because the paddles were already on the controller when I opened the packaging. Pretty sure I’m the one that is supposed to put on the paddles. Plus the left thumb stick had some residue around the inner ring

    A,b, and y buttons have a defect in them. They don’t register or double press right out of the box. I returned and got a different one 6 times and all had the same issues. Finally got tired or having to return them and got the Razer Ultimate which does not have this issue. Couldn’t be happier.

    The controller itself is great. Feels great and has great features. Get the warranty. Something will break on it. I have had 2 series 2 controllers. First one made it just a little over a year. The second only made it 6 months until I needed to replace it. Now, Best Buy is sold out online and in store. Who knows when I will actually get a replacement.
