Easy to sync to console in a matter of a minutes. Controls are in good. I like the controller can be used wireless with batteries or plugged in with no batteries.
I have been an xbox gamer for over 15 years now and have always loved the feeling and durability of their controllers. I upgraded to the series x last year and have gone through 7 controllers in a year. I am very careful with my controls, never dropping or smashing them. Each and everyone one of them has gotten severe stick drift making the controller unusable. What bugs me the most is that i really find the series x/s controllers to be very comfortable to hold and the buttons very smooth. I am now back to using my 6 year old xbox one controller that still has no problems to this day.
Point of this review being. This product will fail on you and its more worth it to by an xbox one remote or a third party series x/s remote
Got one of these included with my Xbox Series X and the right trigger was sticking. Tried getting warranty and I could have had it replaced by Microsoft but they state that they could send you a refurb controller as a replacement. I decided not to send it. Problem persisted with the controller so I decided to open it and fix it myself. Turns out the foam piece designed to cushion the trigger was missing but the adhesive from it was there causing the trigger to stick. POOR BUILD QUALITY. I cleaned the adhesive with rubbing alcohol and a Q-Tip and the issue was resolved. But now the trigger is noisy.
This is a common issue if you research online and it goes back to the Xbox one controllers too.
Disappointed in Microsoft for knowing about this problem and continuing to produce poor quality controllers and charging a premium price.
It comes with 3 months of warranty but my controller started having issues after 5 and it was unusable after 8. To be clear, I'm not hard on my controllers and I don't play that much (couple of times a week).
Stick drift has been a major problem for me as well as needing a hard reboot of the console every 5th time I change the batteries.
I would keep an old XBOX One controller on hand. Glad I did.
They changed the style of the battery pack so now my rechargeable batteries don’t fit in this controller. Also giving me mic issues and I have to play with it to work.
This controller is very good and the shortened trigger buttons are a nice touch. Unfortunately this page does not state the controller is usb-C connection, the one picture might tell you but the specs part says nothing meaning it won't work with the charge station I bought previously.
Guess this 2020 version is different and the one with the C cable is also listed is the better buy, same price.
