 Useless January 15, 2007

Unfortunately for me and the use I intended, this wireless controller is useless without the gaming receiver which has not yet been released. That information should appear in the description of the item. Now the item is opened and can't be returned for full refund.
 Wireless controllers are the way to go. April 3, 2007

First, I would like to say that this controller is LEAGUES above the original XBox controller as far as comfort goes. I used to swear by the PS2 Dualshock controller (yeah, I know you XBox fanboys just cringed cuz I said PS2, but I don't care, I just love games). Anyways, I didn't think any controller could best the PS2 Dualshock. I was wrong. This wireless controller is actually extremely comfortable, even more-so then the Dualshock. Also, unlike the new PS3 SixAxis controller, it actually feels nice and solid, not cheap and plasticy. I absolutely love it.
Wireless is definitely the way to go. I have two extremely hyper Australian Shepherds and I can't tell you how many cords they've chewed, or how many times they've ran through my living room and tripped over cords from other controllers i've owned in the past - causing either the controller or the console to come crashing down. It's like the difference between having a typical universal remote for your TV and having a universal remote for your TV with a cord (yeah, they don't exist with cords but imagine if they did... just not quite right) - or it's like the difference between a infared cordless mouse and a ball-and-chain mouse. My couch is just far enough from my TV so that when I am using a controller with a cord I have to lean over so my cord isn't stretching across the living room. This controller frees me from that, I can just sit back and relax now. It's SO much better. I like how the analog sticks are placed on this controller. When I use the Dualshock now it seems like the analog sticks are much too low. This controller feels perfectly natural.
There is one tiny complaint though. I almost knocked it down to four stars but I just couldn't. I would give this controller a 4.5/5 if I could. My complaint is that the analog sticks slip a tiny bit sometimes - which doesn't happen on the Dualshock because the analog sticks on the Dualshock are coated in rubber, as opposed to the plastic analog sticks for this controller. This is only slightly annoying for me in games like Gears Of War where perfect aiming is essential. It's a bit easier for me to aim with the Dualshock controller. Perhaps this is just an issue because I'm so used to the Dualshock. Other people don't seem to have this problem so it's probably just me.
This controller RULES! Get it! oh and get the rechargeable battery kit too, you'll thank me later.

This controller is a nice addition to any halo fans collection, but unless you really want the figure there is a rush to get one. Aside from aesthetic changes its identical to the regular controllers. The image resists scratching reasonably well. Also, the black battery pack matches this controller but unfortunately isnt included.

I bought this wireless controller to use with the wireless USB adapter for the PC. I also have a wired Xbox 360 controller. The shape and button layout make for one of the most comfortable and ergonomic game pads ever designed. And the weight is perfect.
The flaws: The wireless controller must be manually powered on by holding down the middle Xbox button each time you turn on your computer or when the controller powers down. You also must sync the USB adapter and the controller(s) manually each time as well by holding down a button on the USB adapter and then pressing a button on the gamepad. On the Xbox 360, you don't have to hold down a button on the console at all, just press the activate on the controller -- much better IMO.
Also, the default button PC layout in games is DIFFERENT than on the wired Xbox 360 controller! (This is just stupid, MS!) Marvel Ultimate Alliance supports 360's controllers native (a requirement for the Games for Windows logo) with visual button coding displayed on screen in-game. This works properly automatically on the wired controller, but the wireless buttons map to the totally wrong buttons making the on-screen button graphics useless.
Lastly, the wireless controller takes FOREVER to turn itself off and I cannot find a way to do it manually except by pulling out the batteries. It sits there flashing trying to reconnect to the USB adapter even when your computer is off wasting batteries.
Overall, the controller is great. I prefer the wired one though considering the above issues.
Not quite as ugly as it looks November 13, 2007

I bought this one because I found it on sale. It is not quite as bright and ugly as it looks in the picture, but it isn't dark blue either. A nice plus is that it won't get yellowish like the white ones do over time. I also have the blue rechargeable battery pack which is now available. Other then the color it is the same as any other 360 controller, which is in my opinion the greatest controller of all time, absolutely perfect except the D-pad can be a bit weird. Would buy again.
