    I bought this to connect to PC, which DOES work, but it disconnects/reconnects while I'm playing, which is SUPER annoying. It's comfy in the hands and a familiar layout, but the bluetooth, frankly, stinks.

    These controllers dont last long even with light use. They are notorious for stick drift. Make sure to register it with Microsoft so they can replace it, or purchase an extended warranty. Next controller purchase will be a third party controller going forward.

    Works great but I'm not clear on why the system doesn't include 2 controllers. Seems like a cash grab that they could just add cost to system price. Offering one bundle with extra controller as an option would be OK too. The extra controller is essential for the system.

    Occasional use since its release on Windows 10&11. No glaring issues thus far but some disappointment in lack of innovation over the years, why can't we have two additional buttons behind controller legs for comfort and convienience. (Paddle)

    Unfortunately, this had stick drift after five or so months and needed to be replaced. I had the warranty, so all was good in the end.

    Perfect for my 13 year old son. It was one of the last 2 Best Buy had on the shelf the night before Christmas p. We love the blue color and the slick padding cover on the controller.
