    Ordered this new for curbside pickup. When I got home I noticed the tape didn’t seem like the original and the cable that comes included wasn’t even wrapped up, it was just in the box loose.

      Hi Mary,

      We're sorry that your experience with this Xbox wireless controller didn't meet expectations. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, we recommend exchanging it for a new one.

      Hope that helps,

    Worst experience ever ordering online. I’ve had so many retailers have a simple address change link or even call me. I forgot to write unit 1 and never arrived. And their same day delivery took a full week to even get processed. Worst ever no wonder they are going out of business! I used to love Best Buy but it’s just a crap company hanging on

    This controller broke after 2 months of using it. I didn't drop it. I didn't do anything that would damage it but now the left thumb stick doesn't work properly.

    Junk. Right stick started drifting/jumping down after less than 30 days. No better than much cheaper alternatives.

    Worked great for exactly 156 days. After that, it started to randomly disconnect, which is in no way desired while playing. Manufacturer's warranty is for only 90 days. I suppose one could pay extra to get the extended warranty. Or one could pay the same price for a competing product that will last more than 6 months.

      Hi Chris,

      We're sorry there's an issue with your Xbox controller. Random disconnects may occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. First, we recommend making sure that its firmware is updated to the most recent version, and that your Xbox console or Windows 10 PC is likewise updated. If that doesn't help, please troubleshoot the problem here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Updated the firmware, but this controller still doesn't work correctly. Running through bluetooth and it doesn't register button presses. Directly wired it'll work, but only if you start the game plugged in. If you started plugged in, then you can then unplug and the wireless works. This workaround only worked for Steam titles. My xbox 360 controller works for all games on Steam and non Steam titles, so going back to that.

    I purchased this new and recieved a used controller in an open box. The security seal had been cut. The controller is covered in dust. The cord is not wouund up neatly. I can't even return it, because I put off opening the box from the post office it shipped in, because the spare controller wasn't needed yet
