Great Product
This is the best controller that I have ever bought. I have owned all current as well as past game consoles, and must say that this is the most comfortable, functional, lightweight, and best designed controller that I have ever fit into my hands. I highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone that plays the Xbox 360.

Works perfectly.
Original xbox controller that works like it should. No problems with this controller. it automatically turns off when you don't use it for awhile to save batteries. Reconnect is quick and hassle free. Good controller.

Just, Keep Your Receipt...
I only really gave this three stars so that it'll catch some attention.
I really like the new Xbox controllers - they fit real nice and are comfortable even for many, many... ...many hours of gaming.
But I've had a bunch of issues with consistency. I now own 3 xbox 360 controllers. The one that game with the console worked fine for about 4 months, and now the left stick "wanders" - that is, if you let go of the stick, it continue reading forward motion. This causes characters to keep walking, cars to keep driving, and any kind of flying craft to nose dive. It has gotten to the point that I can't use the controller anymore. Some people claim that controllers just "do this" after extended use, but 4 months isn't a lot of time, especially when I swapped usage between this controller and the second that I bought separately with the console.
The second controller had a spring issue right out of the box - the "up" direction on the D-pad (the lower-left gray '+' button) had very little spring resistance. I always have to press up more deliberately than the other directions, and in face-paced games it can mean the difference between life and death if the button doesn't register. I can still use the controller, but I choose it for slower games like golf. I thought it would work itself out which is why I never returned it - my fault.
I recently bought one of the blue controllers (big PennState fan here) and it too has a slightly reduced spring feel to the up-D-pad button, but it's barely noticeable, and does not affect game play.
I'll keep my receipts in a safe place from here out, but otherwise, these controllers have good battery life and remain comfortable. They're also nice and heavy which makes them feel sturdy and reliable. Let's just hope that the later remains true.

Great Quality - Long Lasting
After much careful thought and research, we decided to go wireless with our Xbox 360. What an awesome decision that was! I waited on a review to make sure that the wireless controllers all functioned properly, held their charge and could be played at all angles/distances up to 30ft from the TV and then some. To be on the safe side, I ordered one charge and play just in case one of the controllers went out during play. To date, it has not been needed. The controllers hold their charge just fine for all our gamers - and they tend to play up to 6 hours at a time. As to the quality of the controllers ... one was subjected to an English Springer Spaniel trying to use it as a chew toy and survived. Another was dropped on ceramic tile- when one player threw a fit- and showed no signs of damage. All 4 are still going strong months after use. I would definitely recommend going wireless for all families - especially if you have pets or young children running around that can trip on the cords. It's great for storing neatly away and not having to worry about cords being wrapped too tightly or getting tangled up. Amazon did have the best price at our time of purchase. I'm sure it's still the best deal now.

The perfect controller for gamer girls
The most important thing about this controller is its color, pink. There are other colors available, but if you have a girl gamer in the house (I have two, my daughter and wife), then this will certainly make them happy. My daughter is thrilled to have her own controller, and she's especially happy about the color. Color-coded controllers also have an additional plus -- if both players pause a game and leave the room, each player knows exactly which controller is "his" or "hers" when they return.
Out of the box, the controller is easy to setup. The multi-language instruction sheet lists the simple steps you need to take to synchronize the controller with the console, so if you've never had to do this, it should not be that difficult. Microsoft includes 2 AA batteries with this, so you are ready to go as soon as you cut the controller out of the packaging.
The A, B, X, and Y buttons seemed a little more stiff than the original controller I have, but only time will tell if that's because it is new or because Microsoft has made a design change to the hardware. Otherwise, it's a quality product that works right out of the package exactly as expected, with no surprises.
