What's great about it: Lights up,Fast Responce,Nice button layout,Comfortable,Vibration,Long Cord
What's not so great: PC Drivers were hard to install if you want to use it on a windows PC
Very Please with the controller.
This controler is very comfortable and very responsive and the lights are a very nice touch at night.
Vibration feedback is good.
Feals solid.
I bought this considering i needed a controler for PC
If you are going to use this on a PC. You might need to go to microsofts webpage for the driver download for windows 7 to get this to work. Or to the manufactors page.
After that its all good.
Its a pretty good price considering the regular xbox controler is expensive.
Has very long cord makes it reach very far from tv.
The lights are realy cool
Overall This controler is a great bang for the buck and performs well..

What's not so great: Shuts down mid-game, sometimes won't respond to console
A controller that lights up caught my attention and I figured for 29.99 its 10 bucks cheaper than the regular 360 controller w/ cord. First one I got worked for about 15 min before it started randomly shutting down on me. Took the cord out and plugged it back in but the console wouldn't respond to it. Returned it for a new one.... same problems. I have the regular one with a cord, no problems.

What's great about it: Lights up
What's not so great: Right stick no longer works right (drifts to the bottom and right constantly)
Have had this controller for just over a month, now my right stick doesn't work and will not reset itself. Do yourself a favor and just spend the extra money on an Xbox controller. At least then you get something that works most of the time.

What's great about it: Lighting is intense
What's not so great: Not good for competitive gaming in games like COD and Halo
Bought this simply based on the lighting. Luckily I didn't need a controller, because then I would've been even madder. I play COD MW2 competitively and right from the start the joysticks are laggy and stick. You can't control looking speed or precise aiming. Maybe this controller will work for sports games or others that don't require precise stick movement. Control feels good in hands, looks good, and seems durable. Don't buy if playing fast paced games with joystick movement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Flashy lights
What's not so great: Has a cord.
Pretty much just a standard control unit. Has the see through body and the cool flashing lights. I wish it was cordless, but the batteries would probably not last as long. Can't gripe too much and don't really have anything to say as a negative.

What's great about it: Feels solidly made, functions well, looks slick.
What's not so great: Analog sticks are tough to press down. You have no idea what color you are getting.
I have been looking for a corded controller because I am sick of replacing batteries on my cordless one. Best Buy advertised this controller in their ad last week and I noticed it had received decent reviews so I deiced to pick one up.
As any gamer knows it can be a roll of the dice buying 3rd party accessories, especially controllers. Usually with a 3rd party controller there is something off, the buttons are loose, the triggers feel funny or the d-pad feels cheap. The after glow controller stacks up pretty well overall against the Microsoft one.
The controller feels solid and it is lighter than the cordless one because it has no batteries. All of the functions work well save for when you have to press the left analog (which I will go over below) stick down. The buttons, sticks and triggers work well, feel well, and function as they should. I played MW 2, NBA 2K10 and Read Dead Revolver and I have zero complaints about the function of the controller. As for the glowing aspect there are three functions which can be used. The first is on, meaning the controller glows at all times. Off, which means no lights at all, and effect, means the lights are off until the controller vibrates.
There are a few cons though. The left analog stick is much tougher to press down than the Microsoft one. This is not a big deal in most games but when playing MW 2 it is a big aspect because you need this to run. My thumb was actually getting sore after about an hour. However I am hoping after the controller breaks in a little it will be easier to press the stick down. While the controller itself is solid the plastic they used is super smooth making it feel like at times it may slip out of your hand; especially if you get sweaty palms during long gaming sessions. The last point, which may not be a con to most, is that when buying this in the store the colors are random. I received a blue controller which would not have been my first choice. I don't know how bright the other colors are but the blue is super bright and is almost a distraction in a dark room.
Overall I am pleased with this controller. While the hook of the product is that it glows and that you can see the insides it is 10 dollars (at the brick and mortar stores anyway)cheaper and it functions and operates as it should.

What's great about it: Lights up, looks sick, feels like original 360 controller
What's not so great: joysticks have bad response
I bought this controller because it looks awesome. The blue LEDs made it look really sick. It was also a nice cheap price of $30. Same shape and design as Microsoft's 360 controllers, besides start and select buttons, so it felt great.
It really only had one issue to me, but let me tell you it was a huge one. They joysticks have terrible response. I move them a bit and no movement of my character, then a bit more and he moves too much. This controller isn't accurate or at all responsive. Maybe it isn't as big of a deal if you don't play shooters like me, because that is about all I play. I play a lot of COD and Halo, both in which require good accuracy to stand a chance in a battle, but this controller doesn't want to cooperate. Your cross-hair will no go were you want it easily.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Cheap looks nice
What's not so great: Cant even plug my turle beach mic in
I bought this controller because it was cheap and my one friend liked it. The joy stick aren't as sensitive as other controllers and is bad if you play games like cod or halo. I just turned the light off since can be distracting at times. My turtle beach mic couldn't even plug into the controller since doesn't have slot for the 2 plastic pieces to help hold it in place. The controller is cheap and looks nice but should spend money and get actually Microsoft ones since knock offs are even worse.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: The blue L.E.Ds
What's not so great: everything else
this controller is absolutely horrible if you play shooter games. The joysticks are not sensitive at all for shooter games. The worst of all is that it disconnects itself out of nowhere whenever it wants and it messes me up while playing. You're better off buying the regular Xbox controller. Because you bought your Xbox to have fun and this controller ruins it.

What's great about it: it has a cord
What's not so great: everything else
I literally signed up on best buy JUST to write a review on how TERRIBLE this remote is. You bought your XBOX to play games. With this remote all you'll be doing is yelling because you cannot aim whatsoever. The joysticks are garbage, the buttons stick, the lights are too freakin bright, the whole design and every last thing about it sucks. If you buy one, you're wasting the money. Go buy one of the Microsoft controllers, they're 100 times better, and that's not even joking.
I think the only good thing about it, is you don't ever run out of battery power since it's corded, but even then, sometimes I've had issues with THAT.

What's great about it: Quick and cheap
What's not so great: Not for hard Core Gammers
Hi, Gammers
This controler is good if u need somthing for temporary or having a gamming party, but as for shooters games it sucks the aiming on Gears Of War 2 not so good it sucks, all the button have slow reaction. On Street Fighter 4 and Mortal Kombat vs DC, if you try to do super moves or any combo's it don't act on time, You are batter off using your old sticks then using this sticks. Some times in co-ops mode when the stage load up the player that is using this sticks its take about 15se to move or it might not recognize, so then u have to stop and get up unpluge the stick and repluge it back into the xbox360.
THE GOODS: The lighs are cool, long cord, $20.00
THE BADS: Schooter, Fighting, Sports, and Adventure (suck, suck suck suck)
NOT FOR HARD CORE GAMMERS
