First class piece of junk
This is the worst controller I have ever used. It looks great on the outside but didn't even last a year. I got this for Christmas and within 2 months the left bumper broke. I still used it up until recently, now everything moves to the left even if you're trying to go forward or to the right. I have the original controller that I have had for going on two years and it still works fine. Maybe mine was an exception since I see it got pretty good reviews, but it was an expensive exception.

its a good controller
I'd love to give this five stars, but i can't. As much as it costs, the play and charge kit, in my opinion should be included. The battery life though is great with batteries lasting as long as 20 to 30 hours sometimes. The controller is comfortable to use and feels nice in your hands, not slippery, and not gritty either, it will stay in your hands no matter what game you're playing, even if you're sweating like crazy. On an even better note, it's quite a durable piece of equipment, i've dropped mine countless times, but here's the downfall. the battery case is weak. if it splits, the controller will stop functioning well, a shake or jerk will turn it off and you'll have to turn it back on. You can glue it back, but will take the chance of ruining it if you're not careful. One more problem is that the controller has a very weak d-pad, it's not sensitive to be of any use in a game, it seems to lag and will often seem to ignore quick subsequent commands. Seeing as though you tend to use the joystick now more than the d-pad its not a problem so much. But menu navigating can be irritating if you use the d-pad. It also makes fighters sluggish and problematic. But the layout makes for great shooters,and great racing titles. Unfortunately there is one more issue with this controller. You can't leave it sit. What i mean is the controller needs to recieve a command within 10-15 minutes or it will shut off, that can be problematic while waiting for an event to pop up in some games or viewing replays and the like. The console will freeze up and exclaim the controller is missing and must be restarted before continuing. its a great controller, but i'd recommend the wired one, if you need more space than the cord can give then this is a good option. just jiggle the stick every once and a while to keep it from turning off when you need it on and are watching something.

Halo 3 wireless controller
When it comes to Xbox 360 controllers there are no controllers out there that are as eye catchingly beautiful as these Todd McFarlene drawn Halo 3 controllers. The glossy smooth surface of the controller is a sheer joy to hold and the thumbsticks (provided it is new) are tight and precise provided that the controller is not abused. And by abused I mean anything short of dropping a freight train on it (my Fiancee's brother in law fell off a chair and landed on it with his rear and nothing happened to it.) Aside from its beauty, the controller is extremely well built, there are no connectivity issues and there are no problems using this remote and three other wireless remotes at the same time with your 360. A must have for die hard halo fans!

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.
