   Yea, I’m [...] and an absolute video game freak. Every Pelican product I have has been [...]. Wireless controllers made by them ave short battery life, slow button reaction, and (on other consoles) have buttons that don’t even work. After I bought my first Pelican product (a cable I think) I went to by a controller. The people at the store said not to buy it, but I did anyways. WASTE OF MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
   
   Just stick with Mad Catz or Microsoft, they have the best Xbox stuff.

   I bought this controller for my son for Christmas & he barely comes out of his room now. He bought into an online game subscription for the year & loves it. The controller seems to be working just fine for him… not sure how I feel about him staying in his room so much, but that’s another issue.

   When playing too much Geometry Wars, my thumbs used to loose grip a bit on the original XBox 360 Wireless Controller. I had to re-adjust them from time to time, risking life
   
   I haven’t noticed this problem with this alternative. Other than that, it is pretty much identical. And since it is USB, it works with my Windows XP SP2 PC (using either MS driver, or third party XBCD, though the latter with some hack – had to add the device ID to the configuration file). Great for playing emulated 8-bit Atari XE games. Oh, and I even mapped it to use as a mouse in Windows. Not very cenvenient, but hey, it was fun.

   On the whole this controller is ok, but the D-Pad is very unresponsive and can take multiple presses to work. I wouldn’t recommend this controller because of this. That said, it’s fine for most games I’ve played and the only occasion that it would really infuriate me would be playing something like Tetris. But for hardcore gamers, I could see it being a serious problem in an intense multiplayer game. Also the RB and LB buttons are clicky and loud. They work fine, but they don’t feel or sound very good. The vibration is a bit more muted than on a Microsoft controller too.

   Microsoft controllers can be had used/new for about the same money now and that’s what I’d do if I were to do it over again.

   This is a nice wired controller.

   It is lighter than the wireless controller, it looks better, it doesn’t use any batteries, and because it’s a USB controller, it can be used on PC even.

   So yeah, I totally recommend this controller to anybody who is looking for a second controller for his xbox 360
