    Microsoft really drop the ball with the controller. Haptic feedback and vibration really make this controller feel cheap. I wish it was made with better quality materials. Overall it does the job. You just don't enjoy it as much as some of that aftermarket brands

      Hi there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with your Xbox wireless controller. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft. Since it's still within the warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Cheaply made. Audio jack makes an awful noise that myself and party can hear. Momentarily disconnects from Xbox (always at the worst moment of course). Grips are nice, but that’s about it. Probably will be looking for a different style to replace this with.

    Awesome design and works like it should! Controller feels great in hands. The back and side grips keep the controller in your hand.
