Customers commend the Advantage Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S for its high-quality build, ease of use, and attractive color options. Many appreciate the comfortable feel and the customizable features, such as the adjustable triggers and vibrant lights. However, some users experienced issues with stick drift and button functionality after relatively short periods of use. The RGB software also received some negative feedback.

    Item was open box excellent when purchased. but what i recieved was open box completely broken and it was obvious. is best buy just recieving broken items and restocking the shelves with them. just about every open box item i get from best buy i have to take back because it is broken beyond repair. shame on you best buy for not putting effort into this process.

    The joystick on this controller stopped working after 12 days. The company has yet to make it right. Both Best buy and power a have been worthless during this process
