    Been waiting to get this controller for awhile. Love the color and feel. The controller is smooth and handles well while playing my xbox series x. It's a must buy.

    This controller lasted 1 month and now has a drift in both joysticks. I’m a casual player and have work so I don’t play too often. As the newer controllers and systems get made, they continue to fall in quality.

    This one quit working randomly. Not sure what happened or why, but it doesn’t work. The white one that purchased does. I didn’t get it wet or drop it, the batteries were brand new. Very peculiar.

    Have had this controller for 2 months no issues. The one thing I do not like is the location of the share button I accidentially hit it all time.

    Defective Unit. Trigger rumble does not work right

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Controller works just fine, but the right trigger has a problem with the vibration. The right trigger rumble is much more weaker than the left and it is extremely noticable when playing racing games like F1 2020. I tried it with my xbox one controller, and the trigger rumble works 100% fine.

    The controller suffers from analog stick drift issues. I have already had my first controller replaced, and now the second controller suffers from the same issue.

    I got it certified pre-owned, but it came with unacceptable drift. It was unusable. Had to return it. I wouldn't purchase a used controller from Best Buy again.

    The addition of the share button helps with the problem of having to stop what you’re doing in game to clip something.

    It’s fine but for the price it felt kinda flimsy! Takes AA batteries (I shoulda read). But I’m also not using it for gaming, but for my CNC machine
