Microsoft Xbox One Limited Edition Halo 5: Guardians - The Master Chief Wireless Controller

Pros: Works like it should.. Beautiful.. Looks better in person.. The pics online do it no justice..

Cons: I was expecting the "diamond grip" on the back like they have on the Forza Motorsport 6 version.. A lil disappointed by that but not enough to knock an egg off..

Overall Review: All "special edition" controllers should come with a play n charge kit..

Pros: The controller looks amazing and the shipping was very fast.

Cons: The right trigger sticks almost every time it's pressed.

Pros: The charge lasts really long.

Cons: I wish the cable was a tad longer for when I let the charger die -but I'd still buy another

Pros: Great on PC, No more wired gaming on windows 10.

Cons: None whatsoever..... although the play and charge kit rechargable battery i bought from a different retailer has already failed.

Pros: Best design on a Xbox One controller so far. The new bumpers are easier to press now. No "slow turn" on this controller.

Cons: Right trigger started to squeak after only 3 days of use. Faceplate on the controller arrived lose and had to take apart the controller to tighten a screw to fix it.

Overall Review: I'm probably the minority here with these issues but there are some other problems Microsoft controllers face after a few months a few examples would be Buttons sticking, Trigger resistance, Joystick Sticking just a few things to keep in mind.

Pros: the design is very good.

Cons: a button control does not work from the third day .

Pros: -comfortable grip -excellent button response -very good support for modern PC games (and of course, for the Xbox One) -beautiful apperance

Cons: -the one that I received had a defective d-pad -if purchased from Newegg, you cannot return or exchange it, even if defective -Microsoft will not honor the warranty (more below)

Overall Review: So, there's a claim I made in the cons about the warranty. Microsoft has confirmed for me that there is no actual warranty on Xbox One controllers that are not bundled with a console, despite the advertised 90 day warranty. Let me elaborate. I called Microsoft Xbox technical support. They stated that in order to receive warranty support, you must register the product. I attempted to, but could not. The registration page for Xbox One accessories only accepts a 12-digit serial number. All Xbox One wireless controllers have a 14-digit serial number. The customer service representative attempted to register it for me, but could not due to the same limitation. After talking to two more customer service representative, they stated that despite the product not having a warranty (it was 2 days old at this point), they would do a one time courtesy swap. I would pay to ship my limited edition Halo controller to them, and they would send me a standard refurbished controller (not the limited edition). So, I'd get a downgrade. I'm not saying to avoid this controller. Ones that work (I have a black one as well) are excellent. I am giving it a 1-star review so that, when all reviews filter in, you the reader have an idea of the actual defect rate. So, buy with confidence as most should not be defective, but before purchase make sure that you confirm the retailer's return/exchange policy if it is defective. Newegg will NOT accept returns/exchanges on this product. At the time of this review, the product is listed as manufacturer warranty only for returns/exchanges. Because neither Newegg nor Microsoft will rectify this, I am left with a $70 paperweight, bu again, at least it's a pretty one :)

Pros: - Has a great aesthetic to it - Sturdy and well built - Easy to clean mostly - Connects with just about any mico-usb to usb cable

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: This controller has been functional since late 2015 with medium usage, so you're definitely able to get your money's worth on this one. Heavy usage will only really affect the analog sticks, but that is to be expected. My analog sticks are about 99% intact with only a slight bit of wear on the edges of it. A replacement might be in sight in the future but this controller really just keeps on going.
