    I’ve been through many of the new - updated for Xbox Series X|S - controllers. They are all garbage. They are poorly made - inconsistent gaps and edges - poorly constructed - the bumpers break as they “submarine” into the slots, and the worst, poorly packaged. The cables are sloppily thrown in the packages and even the anti-tamper stickers look applied by a blind dyrden. Microsoft should be ashamed, but they’re too busy with their chairman.

      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. If 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,
