This is an Xbox 360 controller that can be used for PC gaming. It's great for sprots titles like NBA 2k14 and shooting and racing games. The quality of the controller is great like it has been since they changed the joy sticks to the new variety. You don't have to change batteries since it is wired, but then again... it does have a wire. Some people might not like that, but I don't mind it too much. I love this controller, though, especially since it is the standard of the industry. I haven't used any controller I like better that then official Xbox 360 controller, one of my faveroites of all time. Very much recommend to anyoine who wants a controller for their PC or emulated games.
What's great about it: Can be used for PC gaming. It is wired, so don't have to change the batteries on it.
What's not so great: The directional pad is the old variety, before they changed it.
