    • The range is great and it has good battery life
    • The battery back didn't work, never even fit, bought a new battery back, worked for 2
    • Only special thing is that the guide button displays battery level for controller but that only works on the desktop and not in game
    • Only thing I don't like is the batteries go dead fast so get rechargeable batteries.
    • I have rechargeable AA batteries though, and enough of them to keep a spare set handy, so this isn't a huge deal
    • Used to corded controllers, 'cause I don't like batteries

    • pros:sturdyergonomicits microsoftdrivers support is goodcons:Battery dies out in 2 weeksneed to use the wireless usb connector
    • Pros:Works well with most modern gamesWirelessComfortable designThe D-pad is better than most controllers I've usedJoysticks have a nice grip due to their designSoftware provides you with a nice battery status display on your screen when you press the center buttonCons:Wireless dongle gets annoying if you're using a laptopDoesn't work with older games since it's Xinput and not DirectInputNo way to shut the controller off on the PC without taking the battery pack off (might be 3rd party software that can do this though, haven't looked)When using the charging cable, you HAVE to have the wireless dongle plugged in as well... basically you can't use it as a wired controller

    • Shipped in 3 days, batteries havent died yet and it has a great connection with the wireless adapter
    • It does require batteries like with most Xbox wireless controllers, but overall it doesn't feel cheap at all

    • /keyboard!Built like a tank, holds a battery charge well.
    • The batteries last very long compered to how they do on the xbox, but i would still recommend buying rechargeable ones
    • And I wish the battery was more durable though!
    • Battery drains faster
    • The battery pack fits snugly into the controller (which can sometimes be loose leading to connection errors), has great battery life with Eneloop AA's, and the build quality is excellent
    • No problem at all, I am using Duracell rechargeable batteries and it works so good with it
    • After 2 months and playing once very 2 weeks, the batteries are still strong.
    • The game pad turns off by itself after a few minutes of inactivity so not worries about unnecessary battery drainage.
    • I have had several things ruined recently by exploding batteries, so it's worth the extra effort to me.
    • It's awesome battery life and ease of use works very well with games designed to support it
    • I had old rechargeable battery pack they work

    • The battery back didn't work, never even fit, bought a new battery back, worked for 2
    • No latency, the batteries hold a hell of a charge, it's my favorite controller, and this is coming from a sony fanboy.
    • The good:The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controller is comfortable and practical, with amazing wireless capability and solid battery life
    • Switch batteries more frequently than I like, but I should invest in rechargable batteries anyways.
    • Feels very solid, the battery last forever and works just like you would expect it too.
    • with?A Wireless Controller, of course, it is the same as a Xbox 360 controller and it will need 2 AA batteries to work (Included 2 AA Duracell Batteries, so as soon as you receive you will be able to use it), hence it doesn't come with rechargeable batteries, however you should buy, but this is just my opinion, it is annoying to change the batteries and worry to buy more and moreA Wireless receiver, it is a USB device with a pretty long cable that will detect the controller, if you are connecting with your PC.A CD, This is so your PC can recognize the controller, so make sure that you don't throw away this CD
    • AA batteries are easy enough to replace and purchase at the store
    • Having AA batteries is nice because you can just use rechargeables and you then only get a brief interruption in playing if you need to switch them out.
    • I am also planning to buy "Play and charge kit."Pros:- Battery life- Compatible
    • I have to push down on the B button a little harder than I'd like to at different intervals, but its not that big of a deal on a SINGLE PLAYER GAME
    • Great as always
    • it works as it says and does everything, really east to conenct, i don't need a wired controller anymore
    • It's a great deal!Simply put, it works exactly as it supposed to.....so far
    • Works as it should.
    • I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it could even vibrate as with a console but the best unexpected bonus of all was that I could use the keyboard, the mouse and the controller all at the same time!.I played it with the following games and it worked with all of them
