Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with Transforming D-pad
Model: QFF-00005
SKU: 1608094
UPC: 885370217704
Revolutionize the way you game with the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller. The D-pad transforms from a "plus" format for cardinal directional movements to a "disc" format so you can make sweeping movements with complete precision. The special-edition matte silver color and unique, premium button design combine to form a controller that's both sleek and accurate. Designed with 2.4GHz wireless technology, the controller lets you play up to 30' away. Don't let a low battery get in the way of taking down an opponent or scoring a touchdown — the included play-and-charge cable charges the controller for up to 35 hours of use. If the battery gets low while you're playing, simply plug in the cable and keep playing while the controller charges. With this controller, you're ready to take down the final boss, score the winning point and defend the world from alien invaders.

What's great about it: Long lasting battery, cool design, great comfort, battery life
What's not so great: If you have a headset, it buzzes when the charger is plugged in.
This is a great controller for anyone who games. If you're a begginer or a vetran gamer, this controller is right for you. Everything about it is amazing. From the awesome design of silver and black, to the great, long-lasting quality of the controller, it's a great piece of work. The only 2 flaws i've experienced with this controller, and note i've had it for about a year now; if you have a turtle beach headset and are charging this controller, it makes an eerie buzzing noise. The other problem is after about a year, you need a new battery, which is 100% understandable. Either way you can still use the 2 double A batteries that most controllers use. This controller is great!

What's not so great: NOTHING!!!!
This controller has lasted me forever. Never had any sticky buttons. Looks sick too. I bought for the same price as a regular controller and it came with a rechargeable battery pack. Love this controller soooo much. Buy it!

What's great about it: Looks cool
What's not so great: No use for the D-Pad versatility
This is the same controller for the xbox by microsoft. It only looks different (I think looks better) than the others with one exception: The D-Pad can be rotated out and up so that diagnal moves and full 360 moves are easier. I have no use for this functionality, nor do I even notice the difference when playing Mortal Kombat using the D pad in this position as opposed to the recessed position. I just don't get it, but no reason to rate it badly. Just thankful this new "functionality" doesn't cost more than one without it.

What's great about it: The feel and benefit of the silver paint
What's not so great: I would like the option of not getting the battery.
I have had this for about a year and have played roughly 500 hours on it. I love the silver paint finish on the controller. The paint gives you a better grip even if your hands get a little damp compared to the slippery plastic feel of the original controllers. The thumb sticks are also much better giving you more control and are more comfortable. The D-Pad is cool but I play mostly COD so the only time I use it is to call in my kill-streak.

What's great about it: Functionality, Looks
What's not so great: Nothing
I have been using this controller for almost a month, and I love the little tweaks Microsoft made. The analog sticks have more depth in the center, eliminating the problem of fingers slipping off of the analog stick during intense play. The adjustable d-pad is a prize within itself if you are opposed to the original controllers, and the color scheme breaks away from the mundane feeling of using the same generic controller. With the addition of a lengthy play-and-charge kit, this bundled controller was all I needed.

What's great about it: The way it looks
What's not so great: The way the Dpad Broke
At first glance the controller is a very sleek and unique. The silver and crome make the controller very attractive. It is pretty expensive when i purchased it was around 60 dollars that's more than a new game! Any way since I play fighting games I tend to use the dpad. The main reason why I wanted this controller was for this function. One day the dpad part just broke off rendering the Dpad useless and a pain.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Well made, No need for batteries, Price Match
What's not so great: Nothing
Controller is fantastic and Best Buy matched the $51.99 price of a competitor without hesitation.
*The ability to adjust D-pad is great for my wife's Sims game. Doesn't really affect any of the games I play.
*Chargeable battery and cord is great, I hate using and buying batteries.
*Can go wired and continue to play while battery is charging.
*Does come with the ability to use batteries if one wishes. (Why someone would want to is a bit of a mystery.)

What's great about it: Looks, comfort, no need for batteries
What's not so great: Price, but like I said - it will pay for itself over time. It's worth it.
I was hesitant to buy this controller at first due to the price tag. I literally did months of thinking before purchasing. When I saw it go on sale for $54.99 I figured it was time to jump on it.
This was a great purchase without a doubt. The play and charge kit will make the controller pay for itself over time since you will no longer need to buy AA batteries. It charges quite quickly, and will hold the charge for 35 hours. I do also like the option of using batteries if you please - it comes with the standard "back" that you can fill with 2 AA batteries.
The transforming d-pad is neat, but I don't use that for many games. Like I've read from some other customers, it is fun to play with while waiting for games to load, etc. The analog sticks have been designed very nicely on this. Instead of the little "dots" at 12/3/6/9, the analog sticks have a small "lip" on the outer edge, and then recess into the rest of the stick.
The color combination is fantastic in my opinion. It's very sleek looking controller, without being too over the top. And trust me - it looks even better in person. I do also like how the d-pad has a "chrome" finish to it - looks very nice.
Overall, this is a great controller. Will it make you a better gamer? Probably not. Will you regret paying more money for this controller? No. The first few times you use it you will be happy with your purchase. It's comfortable, great looking and the play and charge kit will pay for itself over time.
If you're looking to replace a controller, or add another one - this is the one to get. I will be getting another one of these soon.

What's great about it: Joysticks are shaped different in a very good way.
What's not so great: Nothing.
The joysticks are different than the usual controller in a very good way. Had to replace my controller after a soda incident and and have been very pleased with this one. Was expecting a standard controller and was very pleasantly surprised with the how the subtle differences in the joysticks lead to a better feel.

What's great about it: The design
What's not so great: The price and the fact that newer gamers won't be able to tell the difference.
I've had this product for a couple months and I love it. I wouldn't be surprised if this became the standard for future xbox controllers. The new thumbstick design adds to the sensitivity of tiny motions. The Transforming D-pad works well, but isn't a huge improvement over the previous design. The controller feels comfortable even after hours of play and has improved my reaction time in FPS games by enough to be worth the purchase. However, if you are a new gamer, you won't notice any difference, so you might as well go with the cheaper option.

What's not so great: when the dpad is in disc mode there really isnt a difference
the matte finish gives it a better feel. It doesn't feel so cheap like the glossy ones. They include indented joysticks instead of the little lines to make it feel better as well. with the new button colors it makes it look classier. I really like it.
