 Priceless.... Until it breaks February 12, 2006

Alright, maybe I had a lemon for a controller, but I can not tell everyone how much rage built in side of me when i saw my 50 dollar controller sitting next to my Xbox 360, useless.
I had two wireless controllers, and both got a fair amount of use for about two months. The one that came in the box was awesome, and is still good, however I bought a second one, and after many dismal tappings of the center 'X' button, I've decided it's killed itself. Why? I don't know. I've kept them in excellent condition, never banging them, away from dust, a seemingly perfect habitat for my little controller. It doesn't work, doesn't turn on, doesn't budge, it is now a 50 dollar paper weight, and after much bickering to Xbox 360 support, I've given up hope on ever getting any money back for it. So, is that consistent with all wireless Xbox 360 controllers? Maybe not, but being as relatively thrifty as I am I can not tell people how frustrating it is to have blown money on something so seemingly safe, only to get no help from microsoft on getting my money back.
All that said, I do love the controllers. My rating is biased because I just lost one of them, however up until that point they worked flawlessly. Sometimes I would go downstairs to turn on my Xbox 360 only because I could, and the fact that there is no wire makes for easy set down, as well as no messy cords hanging around the console. They fit perfectly into the hand, and getting the Xbox 360 to recognize them is extraordinarily easy. If I hadn't had that one huge complaint, I would have given this controller a 5, and who knows, maybe I'm the only person in the world who has had this trouble, so there is nothing to worry about. Either way, you gotta have a controller to play, and there is always a chance that it'll mess up, so spending that extra $10.00 more than the wired controller is definetely worht it.

These controllers are so much better than the first Xbox controllers. The shape fits your hands so prefectly. Although I have to say, best part is the no wires. I used to play with three other friends on the Xbox and whenever they leaved, the wires were all tangled up and I had to sit there for about 15 minutes just trying to untangle them. In this case, you don't have to stress. Another good part about this is that you can turn on the Xbox 360 with it, thats awesome. If you buy an Xbox 360 and you're not sure if you should spend the extra money on a wireless controller, trust me, its so much better, no hassle this way. I definately recommend this to Xbox 360 gamers.

Based on the old, excellently performing Xbox S-controller with added bumpers in place of black/white buttons. Thankfully they dumped the large "Duke" controller altogether. This controller can turn on/off the 360 remotely, act as a remote, works on a PC, connects to a headset, etc... It rumbles -- the $600 PS3 doesn't. It connects FLAWLESSLY. Never fails to connect and the connection never drops, ever, even though it's wireless. Battery life is extremely LONG - you'll be able to use the thing forever without recharging. Attachements exist for charge & play, Accessories for quick charge. Options for regular or rechargable batteries.
Having an excellently designed controller is key.
Removing the white/black buttons, so your right hand can rest in a position with your left hand -- both wrapping around the "stalks" of the controller, was a good decision in my opinion. It might take some people some time to get used to the bumpers. They are placed in a location where you might have previously rested your right and left index fingers when not pulling the trigger.
3rd party wireless controllers for the original xbox SUCKED! The connection dropped, they would malfunction, or else worked okay but were not rechargable (Logitech). Everything about this 360 controller is right!

Controller never connects. The green light just spins around endlessly.
Everyone else seems to like this piece of junk but I finally had to send it back!!

It took more than 10 days to receive the product through Amazon free shipping by US Postal service. Quickly, I found out it was defective. Then, I returned it three weeks ago to Amazon but has not received credit back as now. I am not thrilled with either the product nor the process of delivery or return.
