I'm not sure what the bad reviews on these controllers are talking about. I've read reviews that say these feel cheap. This controller feels so close to the original it is hard to tell. My old controllers are so worn from hands that they are shiny and smooth and these have texture. Since my originals are over 10 years old and worn out these controllers actually feel better. They are solid and have weight to them. Plastics feel quality. Fit and finish is tight and everything fits together properly.

Then there are reviews talking about bad buttons and bad analog sticks. My controller I received has no such issues. It was so nice to be able to fly through the dashboard again without bad input from qlitchy old controllers. Then I played Super Meat Boy to really give the controller a test. Followed up with Dirt 3. Inputs are smooth and precise.

Then there are all the complaints about failing to connect. I am pretty sure these people don't understand how these operate. Pressing the sync button on the 360 and the controller gives almost instant connection. No drops or issues. Works like it should. Some also complained about not being able to bluetooth it to their PC. These are NOT BLUETOOTH CONTROLLERS. Just like an original Xbox 360 controller you need a Wireless Game Adapter to make it work on PC. I got one out and gave the ultimate test. Plugged the Microsoft Windows Wireless Adapter into my Manjaro Linux laptop and then pressed sync on the adapter and the controller. I already had a bluetooth Xbox controller connected as controller one and the new controller correctly paired and set itself as controller 2. I then disconnected controller 1 and re-synced and thee new controller became controller one. Worked flawlessly to play Re-volt and some Need For Speed games followed by some emulators.

I already have good controllers for PC and I really just bought these so my Grandson could play Plants Vs Zombies. I only use the 360 for streaming video and my old broken controllers were good enough for that. But after reading these reviews I had to put it through the paces myself. As I suspected. It's a fine controller. SO FAR. Since a 6 and 8 year old are going to be beating it up on a regular basis I will report back and update this if the controllers fail somehow. If you don't see an update in a month or two, that means they didn't break. First impressions, I doubt they will break.

Bought this for an Xbox 360 I picked up after my son gave his away with the remotes when he got an Xbox One. He realized some of his fav games werent available on the One, so I kept my eye out for a 360 at thrift and yard sales. I found one, but unfortunately there were no remotes to it. We finally got this remote and he was surprised at close it was to the 360 remote and had no problem connecting it and using it with a couples games he had. Unfortunately, very shortly after getting the remote, he got the red ring of death on the 360 (Nothing to do with the remote, its an OLD system and was given to a thrift shop. It was also quite dirty). We called around a couple high rated places to have it cleaned because we can hear the fan shut off and the system gets pretty hot and shuts down altogether, but so far havent found anyone that still works on these locally.
But, until the system itself stopped working, the remote worked great, its very sturdy, not cheap feeling and I wouldnt have known the difference myself. My son did say the only thing different was the "XBox" symbol itself is also a button, but that isnt on this remote, its a different button that does the same thing, but its just in a different spot and doesnt have the "Xbox" symbol. But, considering they are hard to find and when you do, they are very over priced, this remote works just fine and at a reasonable rate! I def reccomnd it!

My 11 year old says it works well with his Xbox 360.

It's packaged better than the original controller imo. It had protective foam making sure the joysticks don't get messed up in transit.

If you are playing a game like castle crashers, then you wouldn't notice any difference. My kids use them just fine. I tried to play Halo and the left trigger isn't as responsive when trying to throw grenades, and the sensitivity of the joysticks isn't as good as the Microsoft manufactured ones. I had to lower the sensitivity in game from 5 to 4. I'm sure you could play with them and over time adjust to them, but they just don't allow you to pick it up and play in a FPS getting quick snap headshots or anything... However they connected easily to both the 360 and the PC adapter for them. I've been letting my kids use them to see how well they take a beating as well and so far they seem good. (younger kids that constantly jump up and down while playing and dropping controllers...) If dropped I'd imagine they would experience the same trauma that the OG ones do.

So I bought the controller about a month ago for FO4 and Skyrim on pc . This controller is very responsive and works perfectly as advertised. Even more responsive then my PlayStation controller. It seems Seamt is more Xbox controller bias so I have to get this one and try. It is not a perfect controller I have 4 stars because the LT and RT are still breaking in and sound a little funny. Also need to buy rechargeable batteries , it's nice to have the batter case on back but the AA go quick for only gaming a week. The controller is Bluetooth but need that little usb adapter to connect and I have to disconnect every time I'm done gamming to fully turn of controller quick . For the pice I would highly recommend and buy again. Nice option instead of a $60-$100 Xbox controller for PC gaming.
