I really wanted to get the wired controller but after doing some research I found the wired controller had some glitches with Windows 8 so I tried this wireless controller.... I saw other reviews, but I was literally gaming with this controller in about a minute after unboxing... the drivers downloaded, and the controller worked without issue. There is no lag, and the small vibration feedback actually is helpful while playing Assassins Creed III We'll see how battery life is... but anyone looking for a controller compatible with Windows 8... THIS IS IT !!!
What's great about it: plug and play works with Windows 8
