This Controller is Awesome. Hands down,if you intend to do any gaming for a long period of time this the controller of choice. Why? 3 Simple Answers. 1.It's wired,so no dealing with battery...ahem "issues". 2.If your "Pro" or "Hard-core" Gamer you don't have latency problems as the controller gets lower in power. 3.It's lighter & lacks the irritating battery box that weighs it down. As a bonus I'll give you a fourth reason. It works for PC as well which means it's re-sale value is guaranteed to be higher than the wireless than cannot sync without the extra wifi-USB dongle that is only sold by Microsoft with their PC only Controller. Not to mention LAME-STOP no longer carries this unit and will actually give you a good price should you decide you no longer wish to enjoy video games any longer. Enjoy.

What's great about it: Cheaper than a WIRELESS Xbox 360 controller.
What's not so great: The D-pad. As with all Proprietary Xbox 360 controllers it is the only glaring flaw with this controller.
