    It's an XBOX controller with a paint job and a higher price - would a plain black one work just as well for 2/3rd's the price? Sure. But your 11 year old won't be as happy.

    This controller lasted about 5 months with lite to medium use. The left joystick stopped fully performing despite trying to clean it. Overall good controller but these should come with a one year warranty, but do not

    Since I purchased this product I have not been able to use it. I cant connect it to my X-BOX game. Naturally there is no description on how to connect it. Ive owned a number of XBOX game consels and controlers and never experienced this issue before. What gives?

    I bought this for my boyfriend and when he connected it to play he loved how there’s so much more vibration to it to make it feel more real. And it’s his favorite color.

    Dead after only 1 year of very light use...

    Just inexplicably died a few months out of warranty. Worked fine and all while it lasted but suddenly just died one day during normal use. Virtually no damage to the outside, tested reset troubleshooting, batties, USC-C connection, etc. It just ceased to work just because. Neither microsoft nor Best Buy offer any out of warranty repairs so you're just stuck with this expensive controller that no one will fix for less than what it costs brand new. I have 5 other controllers like it (different colors) working just fine but I guess this red one just happened to be cursed.
