    Please don’t buy this junky controller

    Not worth 10$! 20 days is how long I’ve had this awful controller and there’s stick drift, and when I call asking for help I’m told there’s a 15 day limit to when you can return an item unless you pay for stupid Best Buy plus?? Scummy and wrong. Don’t buy.

    Cool controller but my hands didn't feel great

    The controller itself is cool but however my hands didn't feel great when I was using it. The vibrating on the controller is just too much to handle for my hands.

    Yeah, pretty much what the title says. I really, really liked this controller until the right trigger and some of the other buttons stopped working. Turtle beach Customer service basically just said good luck and Sorry.

    Stick Drift FAST

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I originally wrote a positive review because it was great...While it worked. Had the controller less than 90 days before the stick drift became so bad it's basically unusable. I work a lot and only really play a couple hours on the weekends so its not like it got a ton of wear. Buy a different controller.
