Great Controller, Even Better Price!

Customer Rating:
Controller came exactly as described. The price is outstanding!! Might want to check into the rechargeable battery packs because these controllers tend to "eat up" the 2 AA batteries required.

Best Xbox 360, Windows controller I've used

Customer Rating:
The official Microsoft Xbox 360 controller is simply the best controller for the Xbox that I've used. I've tried the 3rd-party controllers, from Mad Catz and others, and they just don't feel as good, and aren't as responsive.

This controller is also the best gamepad for use with a computer, provided you have the wireless usb receiver that comes with the "for Windows" version of the controller. As more and more games natively support the Xbox controller, and natively show the buttons for abilities, just like you'd see on the Xbox 360, the Xbox has replaced my other gamepads. It's just easier to use, and feels like it was made for the system. I bought 2 standard wireless controllers, and 2 "for Windows" wireless controllers, so now I have a dongle for each computer, and 4 controllers that can be quickly synched to either computer or the Xbox.

Comfort wise, I didn't like the Xbox controller at first, having been used to Sony's PS2 controller. Now that I have both Xbox and PS3 controllers, and use both regularly, I find the Xbox controller to be much more ergonomic, more comfortable to hold, and more comfortable to use. The controller lets you naturally wrap your hands around it, and the triggers are a pleasure to squeeze, where as the PS3 controller now feels un-natural, and the triggers are a little annoying.

Performance wise, this wireless controller uses the 2.4GHz wireless range, the same as most cordless headsets, 802.11b/g wireless networks, and even the same as some microwaves. I haven't had any problems with at my house, but 2 of my friends have constant problems with controllers disconnecting mid-play. Sometimes it's just an annoyance, but sometimes it happens so often that it's unbearable. The PS3 controller's bluetooth connection avoids these problems, and is much faster to start up and connect.

One can only hope that Sony adopts Microsoft's ergonomic styling for the Dualshock 4 controllers, and Microsoft adopts Sony's bluetooth connection for the Xbox 720 controllers.

Great controller but battery could be better.

Hey all this is Sam AKA Para in the gaming review community. This is one of many gaming reviews I will be starting for Amazon, so I hope you enjoy. Going to be talking about the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Red Wireless Controller and Play & Charge Kit which I have to say feels well. It is sort of light but durable. After playing for long hours I notice no pain in my hands, just the way the designed this controller it just fits right in your hands and is not stressing out you muscles or having you to curve your hands around it just to hold it. The vibration feedback is very well and is not super strong that it feels like a back massager or making your hands go numb, but it is not also so weak that you cannot even feel it. It gives just the right amount. The triggers are in just the right position and have the perfect lift to them for easy access. The joy sticks are perfectly assessable and once again do not strain your hands trying to use them. Battery life is not the best though, it could use a slight improvement but that is minor. I suggest if you don't need the vibration to turn it off and save battery. Overall the controller is very nice and easy to use. Good work Microsoft for changing the hamburger shaped Xbox controller to this much easier to handle one. Hope this review helps and look forward for my other game reviews.
