    Ps5 open box controller

    I bought the controller that had an excellent open box rating. I went on vacation. I tried it out after vacation and it didn’t work. It was clearly not tested and shouldn’t have been listed as excellent condition. I went to Best Buy to return it and I was told I can’t return it because it was 17 days after purchase. I spoke with the manager and he was very rude. I will not purchase anything from Best Buy again. This particular Best Buy is on Rand road in Arlington heights Illinois.

    Stick drift within 2 months? These controllers are not well made at all. I love the look and feel, but they just don't hold up.

    I've only had this controller for a month and it feels like it falling aprt fromt the inside. It makes a bunch of clicking noises after i push the start button which doesnt sound normal. And the left joy stick has bee feeling rough. Its brandnew and i might have to buy another one

    Battery life could be much better. I suspect that it will be the first improvement PS does on the system.

    Should have gotten the protection plan, almost a year Later and the left stick pulls to the left constantly making game play impossible. This has happened to both of our controllers

    Bought this bc the black controller I got from PS direct had stick drift right out the box, turns out this one did as well. Meaning the majority of black PS5 controllers, 2/2 in my experience, are just bad. Recommend a newer gen.

    Thank God for Best Buys protection plans.... have had to replace every single one. They have a tendency to "drift" (according to my kids). The touchpads can be wonky. For something that is so easily dropped and most often used by kids they should make them a little better. Especially for the price.
