Comment: This product is not designed to last. If you play a lot of FPS games like I do, there's a lot of joystick work to be done. The buttons work fine, trigger sensitivity is all good. The digital d-pad is a little finicky though. It takes a lot of practice to hit only ONE direction.
This controller has silicone pads on its joysticks that grip really well to your skin. However, they do NOT grip well to the plastic underneath that they are bonded to. After a while, the silicone pads start to tear open at the seam, eventually just falling off. What you get then is a rather unusable hard plastic core of the thumbstick.
You're better off spending some money on a legit Microsoft 360 controller that's built with solid construction and will be guaranteed to last.

Summary: as good as the one coming for my xbox 360 console 2007-12-04
Comment: This is a nice wired controller.
It is lighter than the wireless controller, it looks better, it doesn't use any batteries, and because it's a USB controller, it can be used on PC even.
So yeah, I totally recommend this controller to anybody who is looking for a second controller for his xbox 360

Comment: if your looking for a cheap controller you shouldn't have to look any further. i've played many games with these and so have friends, they can't tell the difference. it's a great controller that puts less of a dent in your wallet. Get it.

Summary: Bad D-Pad 2007-07-08
Comment: On the whole this controller is ok, but the D-Pad is very unresponsive and can take multiple presses to work. I wouldn't recommend this controller because of this. That said, it's fine for most games I've played and the only occasion that it would really infuriate me would be playing something like Tetris. But for hardcore gamers, I could see it being a serious problem in an intense multiplayer game. Also the RB and LB buttons are clicky and loud. They work fine, but they don't feel or sound very good. The vibration is a bit more muted than on a Microsoft controller too.
Microsoft controllers can be had used/new for about the same money now and that's what I'd do if I were to do it over again.
