This isn't the best controller ever. A microsoft made controller is obbiously is better, but that dosent mean this controller isnt good. This controller is actually great. If your looking to save money, this is the way to go. it feels like axbox controller. the only thing that feels different is the triggers, and the bumppers.

Pulling the trigger once causes it to be stuck in a barely-on state recognized by most games as a continuous trigger hold. I would not recommend this controller to a friend. Buy a real X-Box controller from Microsoft. It's worth the money. The quality of this item is unacceptable.

It works great but installation can be difficult. You have to manually install the Microsoft common controller drivers on Windows 7. In Device Manager right click on the controller and update driver. Chose Browse > pick from installed drivers and select Microsoft common controller. It will tell you it's not recommended but it's the only way to install this controller.

The shape feels off, the sticks have pretty much no weight in them, the bumpers don't feel like they're there, and the triggers have too much weight in them and feel a bit shorter in length than the normal 360 controller

This controller is really worth your money. True, its made of cheap plastic but it works perfectly. Ohh.. and this also works for PC, on Vista you just plug it in and BAAAM!

I bought this controller expecting a little more than I should have. I went to GameStop to purchase my reserved copy of Halo 4 and a new/used controller so I could do some co-op play with a buddy. The GameStop worker informed me that "the GameStop controller was just as durable as the normal Xbox controller." Durable, yes... But if your looking for performance this controller is a disappointment. Like other reviews have said, this controller is pretty bad for FPS games. The joysticks don't react to slight movements so if your trying to do some fine tune aiming in any FPS this is gonna be very annoying. I haven't played any other games with it but I can tell its just not up to par. Get a normal used Xbox controller over this one. I regret my purchase.

I actually like this controller better than the one that came with my XBOX. The joystick buttons click down more comfortably. The controller feels the same as the Microsoft ones. I don't mind playing with the cable. I'm never far enough away or have tons of cords lying around to justify the need for wireless anyway, and at half price it was a great deal. I was a bit leery about buying a controller that was not the "normal" one. I wasn't crazy about Mad Katz PS2 controllers etc. being oddly shaped and have useless features.
Bottom line is if you need a controller and don't mind wired it's the way to go ; if not for the nostalgia too.

It takes some getting used to because the controller is slightly smaller than the original Xbox 360 controllers and it messes with you a bit for a while. The plastic is pretty cheap which i've noticed off the bat, but it isn't breakable unless you have a hammer. The XYAB buttons are a bit loose fitted but nothing to complain about. I like the triggers on the controller because they have a bit more resistance compared to the normal controller and sorta makes shooting more fun. The microphone slot isn't that great. Everyone can hear you perfectly, but you hear them with a muffled digital sound but can make out what they are saying. I would listen to the other reviews though and not risk getting the controller as only a couple seem to work fine and the others break.

It's not a bad controller it has a differnt feel to it because most gamers are used to the bulky wireless ones. The main thing is it is a cheep controler it is delicate and will break easily if your ruff with it, it won't last as long as a more expensive controller but in the end it is decently matched up with the price. I don't know about these ones who say it broke in a week but i've had mine for a year or two and other than the analog stick cover wearing out it still in fair condition.

1 for performance since its works fine till it starts breaking/dies on you. I had it for maybe a week after UMVC came out and the A button started to sink in. I had it replaced and the same thing happened again. It finally gave out the other day due to the wire shorting out which got me unnecessarily killed while playing Dark Souls. I felt the wire issue was due to the way it was packaged. 2 for value since its a decent price for what its worth i guess. 5 for the design since its pretty much exactly like your standard 360 controller except that the X,Y,B,A buttons feel a little loose compared to the Microsoft version.

Sounds like you were using the controller with your computer. I had the same problem... I actually told the computer to just use the drivers for the Microsoft controller. Everything worked but turning the controller off. I just pulled the batteries.

I bought this controller from a local Gamestop cause my other Xbox 360 controller (Microsoft Brand) was wearing out and running forward on games the character would only walk.
I take it home, unplug my old controller and plug it in right in the same USB port, give it a minute for the drivers to download. And to my surprise it doesn't work on the game I was using an Xbox 360 controller for not but 8 seconds prior!
The reason behind this that I can only guess at is that the game I was playing (Dead Rising 2: Off the record) recognized the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller perfectly fine. But it sees the Gamestop Xbox 360 controller as just some random controller and won't actually let it link up... after jabbing buttons like crazy to try and figure out the problem, I'm amazed to find out that only ONE BUTTON WORKS.... The Xbox 360 home button. So either between my game, or this controllers alien interface or whatever... it sees the controller.. just won't listen to it!
Now I gotta return this thing and find one thats made by Microsoft...just to play this game! I thought the whole point of getting a wired controller was so that things like this wouldn't happen!?

my halo reach controller didnt work with my headset. so i bought this because i didnt want to pay money for an expensive controller. as soon as i got home i tested the headset and it didnt work. so i called my brothers friend and he said you can only have one headset at the time, so i tested it by myself and it still did not work. i returned it on the same day.,

I went to gamestop looking for a wired 360 controller so i could use it for Racing games (also Skyrim) on my PC. After a month or two the left control stick started getting really feathery. even centered my car in Trackmania 2 Canyon would pull to the left. So far this month i've had to adjust the deadzone from 0.06, to 0.09, 0.11, to 0.18 (18 is almost the maximum). This controller is a cheap piece of junk and will not last more than a couple months.
