  • They gave me a used remote

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

    I literally just picked up the remote which I purchased online as a brand new remote. When I get home and open it, it does not have any batteries and the cable was just thrown in there. The item is suppose to include batteries and the cable is always properly packaged. Any unboxing youtube video will show exactly how the package is suppose to be.This was definitely a controller someone returned. I will be taking it back for a new remote.

    good improvement from the previous xbox controllers. the changes are subtle but there are improvements. If it wasn't for the ps5 controller, I'd say this was the GOAT controller.
