    Best Buy Cannot be trusted

    I purchased an open-box PlayStation 5 controller advertised as fully functional. It arrived defective out of the box and never worked properly. I reached out to Best Buy immediately after returning from a work trip, but both the store and online support refused to help, hiding behind their return window even though the product was sold in non-working condition. It’s unacceptable for a company of this size to sell defective merchandise and then push the responsibility onto the manufacturer. I wasn’t asking for a refund, only an exchange for a working item. The lack of accountability and customer service has completely destroyed my confidence in Best Buy. Buy new or buy elsewhere, but do not trust Best Buy’s open-box program.

    A PC User's Perspective

    Your thumbs hit each other when you pull right on the left stick and left on the right stick simultaneously. Switch pro and Xbox controllers are superior with their off-axis joystick placements. Turning off the controller is a pain requiring you to hold the applicable buttons for an agonizing 10 seconds. The mic and speaker functionality is overall a disappointment. I've gone back to using my Switch Pro controller, it's just better than the PS5 controller in regards to PC gaming.

    Great while it lasted. For the price, it shouldn’t break 1 week after the warranty is gone. I will say that support from best buy was great. We will see is Sony is the same.

    My daughter and I played the PS5 for solid 4 hours and the remote was still showing a full charge. This is much better than other gaming system's.

    This feels and operates just like the one I got with my console on launch. Noisy when playing games with lots of strong haptics. Feels chintzy. I was hoping a year later the controller would feel solid and sorted. It rattles and sounds like its insides are working themselves apart during use. If you were looking to find enhancements, wait a little longer. I'm sure these will be built better over time... well, one can hope.
