    Feels cheaply made. Buttons kind of stick every so often. But it works well for PC gaming An actual xbox console controller feels better

      Hi there,

      We're sorry there's an issue with the buttons on 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,
      Chuck

    Cable not as durable as I'd like, but the controller mostly works well. Occasionally has to be unplugged and reset.

    New style is pretty cool, but the A button seem to stick and after a week hoping it would loosen up, we returned it and bought the older model.

    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.

    Controller works well but the original package was completely destroyed and all of it looked like it was used.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that your new Xbox controller is working well for you, but sorry that it didn't arrive in a satisfactory state. If there is an issue with the controller, or you would like undamaged packaging, we recommend contacting Best Buy customer service for an exchange.

      Hope that helps,

    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.

    Hello, I am disappointed with the game code, when I tried using it, it showed that it was already used. Not able to return the product now but yeah that was not expected at all. Can anything be done to get a new code?

    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.

    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.

    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
