    I ordered a controller on November 20th, 2024 and still have not received said controller. I have reached out five times since then for an update, with the last email requesting a refund. I received 2 automated messages with no follow up or information about when to expect my controller. At this point, I just want a refund. I am extremely disappointed that it had to come to me going to the BBB.

    I ordered a customer ******************** in June 2024 and have not received it, nor have I received any updates on its delivery. I received one email response back in January advising they were delayed but nothing since. I have submitted two requests for refund in the last 30 days with no response.

    I bought a controller for my son on February 9th 2025. I received an email shortly after saying we will let you know when it ships. In March I sent my first email. Since then, Ive sent 5 more, Ive called 10 times and even left a voice message. I have yet to talk to a soul at Controller Chaos. Im not mad but.. Im dumbfounded about the lack of transparency. All I want is an update! Is the controller under construction? Possible shipping date? Any progress? Where is it? Listen, Im apart of a small business and I get it! Youre busy. That being said you need to update your customers. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    I placed an order with Controller Chaos on November 24, 2024 for a total of ****** but never received my product . I have not received shipping updates or status updates from the company about my order since purchasing. I contacted Controller Chaos via their customer support email (attached in screenshot below) asking for an estimated ship date for my product in January 2025, to which they replied nearly a month later in February 2025 stating that there is no update or even an *** on my product. Giving them several months time and patience, I again contacted Controller Chaos on May 13, 2025 requesting a full refund of my product given that I have not received the order and have not been given consistent communication by the company on the status of my product. Controller Chaos has not responded to this email. The order confirmation, payment confirmation and all communication by the company are attached below as screenshots.

    Made a purchase for a custom controller in December 2024 and waited a couple weeks and then contacted them for an update on the order. I got an auto generated email saying they are low staffed and it could take 25 business days or more. I have contacted them twice since and I keep getting auto generated emails even after asking for a refund since its been much much longer then 25 business days. They will not correspond nor will they communicate a time frame. I just want a refund at this point since its been 5 months since I placed the order.

    Placed an order for a custom controller back in February -- have reached out many times only to be ignored or given a copy and pasted response. My order is still marked as unfulfilled even though their CS team had replied back only once and said that it would ship out later in the week back in March which never happened and I have since been ghosted on all my emails sent. I have tried calling as well and have not been able to get in touch with anyone.

    Hello there! We greatly apologize about the communication issue that has happened between you and our customer service *** throughout the waiting time as we created your order. We have went ahead and issued a refund to the AfterPay account/card used for the original purchase.

    I spent over $1,000 on 2 controllers on December 2023 and to this day, I havent received anything, I have called them and they gave me the run around about not having the parts to finish the product, now I call and email and they dont respond. It takes me hard working effort to make $1,000. Im very angry and I want justice.

    We ordered 2 custom Xbox controllers from Controller Chaos on Dec 4th, 2024. Weve made in an excess of a dozen phone calls and each one went to either an empty voice mailbox or an automated message abruptly ending the call. Ive emailed at least three times and received the same automated response each time (screenshot of automated response attached).Needless to say, I havent been able to speak to a live person to settle this issue nor is anyone answering any of my inquiries.
