    Package sent in a larger box with no cushion to protect the controller. I receive toys in the mail with bubble wrap. Why would you not put bubble wrap for electronics?? Do better Best Buy. I will be returning this item.

    Bought 7/2021 and already Jan 2022 a button randomly no longer is working. These seem to only last 6 months. Will order again with geek squad so they hopefully do back up the product

    The controller bricked itself after 4 months. Good thing I purchased a product protection plan. These controllers are NOT built to last.

    15 day return policy is a ripoff the standard is at least 30 days. In case your product is faulty and I didn’t even remove it from the box for a few months. It was backup and it’s faulty

    That's it. My right bumper doesn't work anymore, after 2 months of owning the controller. I'd like a replacement model. Or a full refund, beacuse I treated this controller like gold.

      Hello there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with the right bumper on your Xbox wireless controller. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft. Since it's still within the warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    Garbage quality, trigger started sticking after 3 months, had to take it apart and remove the pad that gave out and clean the adhesive. Now it's clicky and loud.

      Hi there,

      We're sorry there's an issue with your new Xbox wireless controller. If you are still experiencing this issue please ensure you have the latest service update for Windows. You can find available Windows updates by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates on your Windows 10 PC. In some cases, there may be a button that says “View optional updates”, and you may be required to click there to find the update.

      Once that is complete you will also need to make sure the controller firmware is up to date by checking for additional updates within the Xbox Accessories app. If you continue to experience a problem, please check with our team at Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    The controller’s right joy stick broke within one month of light use. Not worthy the price at all.
