Shame on you Microsoft!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to constantly buy these because one random button or game stick breaks. I take care of my things but they just don’t build things to last otherwise you wouldn’t be a repeat customer.

I would recommend this to a friendJust a controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a nice looking controller. It's nothing special. It was still the best controller to come out at the time, plus I got it for a low price with my gift cards which made it easier to buy.

Not the best, but works.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does its job, for the price it looks a bit weak, easy to break. However, it is what xbox sells.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendY so sloppy, Microsoft?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's some good things to say about Microsoft's official gamepad, but none of it matters because of the ongoing face button failure issues. I bought, exchanged, then ultimately returned this product because both times the Y button failed consistently out of the box. I was also disappointed that both gamepads had an issue where the top and bottom casing didn't align, leaving a sharp edge in bad spots. It's a real bad look for a product that costs $59.99 -- especially when it's getting out performed by $29.99 3rd party offerings and demolished by other competitors (Razer Wolverine V2). I wouldn't unless you absolutely need one for wireless Xbox Series X play. They have a lot of work to do on this one.

Hype
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn’t work as well wirelessly as it should!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat controller, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always used the standard controller and they work great when fairly new. However, they don't seem to last as long anymore. I used to get a couple years out of one. This is the 2nd controller I've bought within the last year and the bumper buttons failed on the last 3 I've used.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Standard controls for xbox. Decent replacement controller
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Likely a lemon, but I'm still disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased in February, and has already died on me. Won't hold power unless plugged in via cable, and that's not what I'm in for. I also experience frequent disconnects when plugged into my PC. Past the lame 90 day manufacturers warranty, so it looks like I'm out $60.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Open Box review
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For an Xbox controller review. It worked well for 2 months. Looked good as new. I didn’t use it some one else in the house used it. I don’t know if it was the person or the controller but the sticks started to get stuck. First controller to ever do that in 20 years.
