 not good at allJul 15, 2004
Initially it looks like a pretty good controller for the price. fairly confortable, small, doesn't look too bad. Battery life is not too bad either. The analog sticks are a little too long, so its too easy to move it around, which can cause problems if you want to press them (for the stick buttons), since you'll accidently move the stick while pressing it. Here is the really bad part, wireless range is horrible, it is RF but if you're blocked by any object you may lose connection. 2nd the left analog stick after playing with it for a couple of weeks, starts to go bad. It will move by itself, i.e. leaving it in the center, doesn't really center it in the game, probably some calibration problem. I thought i was just unlucky and got a defected one, but my replacement has the same problem now too. Just very badly designed and tested, i suppose.

 Poor productDec 30, 2004

This is the worst product I have ever bought. I just picked up one of these and after ripping open the package found that the battery cover was missing. This irritated me but once I plugged the unit in, I was infuriated, the controls are sloppy and erratic and the range of the unit is horrible. I strongly advise anyone looking for a wireless Xbox controller to pay the extra ten 15 bucks and get one that works.
 Not bad, if you want a cheap wireless...Jan 23, 2008
By Dfox
When looking for a wireless controller, I stumbled upon this. Unlike other cheap wireless controllers, it had rumble built-in, and was half the price of the logitech (got it for $20), so I bit.
I loved the controller when I got it- love the smaller size, the feel of the buttons & analog stick, the turbo button, and most of all no wires.
Never had a problem with the connection- I've had both the connector and controller upside-down, blocked by objects, and other awkward positions, none of which affected the connection or gameplay.
Battery lasted a long time, changed it after about 6 months, and overall the controller seemed like a great deal.
But after a while, the left analog stick does tend to get uncallibrated, and goes crazy on-screen. It's usually fixed with a quick power off-on of the controller, but still inconvenient, and increases with time. And the buttons stick after repeated use- in my case the A button. It works fine, but doesn't feel quite as good as it used to.
I can't fully recommend this product for hardcore gamers (the button issues will get in the way after 50 or so hours), but if you're just a casual gamer looking for a cheap wireless controller, go for it.
Ugly & SUCKS!Mar 26, 2007
By Marcus Roof

Don't blame microsoft, this is a 3rd party controller. As others have suggested, this controller SUCKS! It looses connection within only a couple of minutes. I cannot tell you about battery life or responsiveness of the sticks and buttons because the connection dropped so often that I simply had to stop using. You cannot reconnect remotely after a connection drops - you have to go the receiver and reset. PATHETIC! Also, it's just about the ugliest piece of electronics I've ever seen. With the other complaints, it seems that this is simply a defective product.
Awful ControllerDec 20, 2006
By Natasha Boehm

Doesn't connect with all games - disconnects all the time, even at 3 ft distance. For me it only works with ninja gaiden black and fable, it disconnects with halo and any fighting game. My A button started sticking after about 100 hours of play; I cleaned it, but it didn't fix the problem and the buntton continues sticking. It is cheaply made and is not worth your money unless you want it to break after heavy use. If you want something reliable, this is not it.
