Cool Design, Button stuck

Overall good Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The X button sticks when i use it, whenever i try to clip something the controller disconnects. Hood controller when you get used to those 2 things but as of right now i’m planning on returning and getting a new one to see if it’s persistent.

Fine, but could improve.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the three controllers I’ve had for my Xbox Series S, two of them (including this one) have had major issues with sound and drift. All three have had stick drift issues. Hoping they get better controllers soon, as they’re not the best for daily gamers.

Misleading details
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great but it’s missing the rechargeable battery pack. I specifically asked a Best Buy employee if it was included since this was a gift and they told me it surely was included. Although I was sad to find out the pack was not included and batteries needed to be purchased later.

Won’t recharge the battery
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looking for a cable to charge a rechargeable battery. Sold out everywhere. Thought this might do the trick but no, it only powers the controller it WON’T recharge a Microsoft rechargeable battery. None of the reviews or info online would tell you this. Had to purchase and experiment myself.

Plug-it-in and GO!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While wireless is the mainstream, being able to have the backup wired option is great. Especially PC if you want that connection, and not worrying about battery power. Simple connection for your needs

Stick Drift Strikes Back
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace my original controller after it initially started suffering from left stick drift and eventually the left stick (press down) button stopped working completely. After about three months I noticed some left stick drift on this controller, followed by the right stick, and now the left stick has significantly worsened (on menus the controller cycles through all of the options constantly on its own). It has gone from a nuisance to affecting gameplay. Pressing down on the left stick still works/registers; once this goes I will likely have to replace the controller again.

They don't make'em like they used to
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive gone through 4 controllers. Probably should've added geek squad protection on this order. The thumbsticks seem to either drift or rubber tips come off.
