It's a solid piece of gear. Fits great in my hand, hasn't broke after a few months of heavy use. Works great with windows 8, a lot of games have built-in support for Xbox 360 controllers.
It's just an excellent controller.
What's great about it: Ergonomic, easy to use, works with windows 8 flawlessly.
What's not so great: Not every PC game supports controllers.

It broke, literally the thumb stick snapped off after two hours of normal use. It's drivers are incompatible with windows 8. It doesn't have any software to assist in button mapping. I have no idea why this thing is even made, because it is complete and utter trash. Spend the extra and go for the xbox controller.
What's great about it: It was cheap.
What's not so great: Analog stick broke after two hours, no software, incompatible with windows 8, no customer support.
