    Bought one for instore pickup, everything seemed good, went online to register it and there is only 1 month left from the 6 month warranty Microsoft gives, I was sold a used product for the new price, the 14 day trial code in the box was also already redeemed.

      Hi Sartori,

      We're sorry that your new Electric Volt controller wasn't as expected. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, we recommend exchanging it for a new one. Please note that this controller comes with a 90-day limited warranty from Microsoft.

      Hope that helps,

    Had to return the controller for a replacement less than a year later. Luckily it was covered under the Best Buy protection but it was a replacement as the part was not available.

    A little over a month of light use on my PC and the right rigger is already sticking to the point it is unusable any longer. I should have known better. This is my 4th Xbox controller in the past 10 years or so and each and every one develops some sort of issue over time.

    I/We Will no longer shop Best Buy for your political censorship in suspending donations to congress members who voted against certifying the 2020 presidential results. How many Best Buy locations were damaged and looted during summer 2020 riots supported by the left agenda?

    Junk, same quality issues as the other but worse the audio output from the headphone jack is way too low compared to other controllers I own. Steer clear of this color model there is a reason BestBuy is selling this cheaper than the other colors. So disappointing.

    Left thumb stick is reading as being pressed in. Just outside the warranty time. This is with limited use and only by me. The quality of these controllers seem to be hit or miss.

    I bought it because my kids needed a new control but as soon as the 14 days were up it didnt work properly and it always turns off in the middle of the game. Not worth the price.

    I like the controller but when is the wireless connection going to just work? why should I pay $60 for this controller and then have to spend another $20-$30 for an adapter to take out the lag. Stop making bad products

    The Best Buy website was extremely lacking in information and details. This was not the discovered until after pickup and arriving back at my home. This item had to be returned as it was not compatible with the gaming system I have for my son.

    I have purchased 2 of these controllers thinking the first one was a fluke. They both lock up while in game play and you have to pull the battery to reset them. Definitely something up with the controller .

    obviously functions as it's supposed to upon purchase. the last couple years of controller runs seem to wear down quickly. joystick drift comes quicker than ever and grip smooths out with minimal to moderate usage

    These next gen controllers are made of a thinner and less sturdy plastic. At least it sure seems like it. This controllers’ thumb stick busted within two months of purchasing it.
