Freedom to play your way. Get your game on and play in freedom with this comfortable wireless controller.
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
very responsive, the range is great and it works with the majority of games
its lighter than my regular 360 controller and feels great, works without issue and has great range.
The wireless range works well as the couch is about 12 feet from the
The wireless range is great, it works with every game we've tried so far and my son is very happy.

The range is good enough to use the controller all the way across the room, in case you want to hook your PC up to a TV and fully replicate the "console experience."My only gripe with this item is that you can no longer purchase the official wireless dongle separately, and the only way to get the dongle is in this bundle (unless you want to chance it with one of the unofficial knockoffs)
The one negative is that the controller does not have an easy way to be shut off when finished with it.
One annoying thing is that once I turn off my PC, I have found no easy way to just shut off the controller.
Lots of PC games are including controller support now, so a great way to play casual games.
Controller works just as expected and has great quality for its money.
Of course it will cost you more because it is official and made well, but beware do not purchase cheaper versions as they are made of poor quality and do not last as long nor as durable!
If you're looking for a good quality controller for the PC look no further, this one is for you
I feel like it made poor quality ,I expect at least made better than thisoh where can I found a better one
Great quality, wireless is the best, back pack friendly too
As much as I like the Xbox 360 controller, I am very disappointed with the declining quality control over at Microsoft
Also the control who came with the console works as a second controller on the pc.
Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless is a good control and very good quality for video game lovers this control is best.
I realize it's still a matter of personal preference (and personal disgust in some cases) which method to use, but in these days of ported PC games I was getting very frustrated with the sloppy keyboard/mouse controls
I just feel like giving this amazing control a great review
The 360 works perfectly with all my games; Fallout 4, Star Wars battlefront, Battlefield hardline, and with a program like pinnacle I can even use it with Halo 1 and 2 on PC.My old 360 controller (which lasted about 7 years would cause my character to keep walking after I had stopped ,fell off many a high place and died while drinking a sip of something, and I had to hit it to use the in-game menu).
The controller arrived with the right analog broken and the left bumper crooked (although usable), the battery casing was broken as well but worked for a bit
but the controller works perfect and my daughter loves it
When I first plugged it in my wired 360 controller was still plugged in, it came up as controller number two, worked fine still
Loves this works great for my aviation game/Flying Simulator
This is a well built true 360 controller, The only difference between this one and a regular Xbox controller is this comes with a USB receiver and some software and drivers in order to make it fully compatible on windows
This controller was reasonably priced, solid build, and connected to my Windows 8 computer without any muss or fuss
The buttons and triggers are all good as well (except for its infamous D-pad).It would be nice if the controller included software that adds some extra functionality to it, like assigning macros to buttons and using the controller to move the cursor, but this is made for games and that is what it excels in, being fully supported in all the games I tried it on.
Item is excellent quality, no lag, well built, syncs easily enough without needing additional software.
has the familiar xbox controls and the same solid built
I was previously using a wired ps3 controller using motionjoy, it took a few hours to get used to the xbox controller again, but i love the wireless feature and the overall feel of the controller
Solid, good battery life for two AA's, nice black color, and perfect feel.
but I miss the feeling of having a controller in my hand, and this definitely bought that feeling back
I love the feel of these controllers, but I've lost count of how many I've had to buy due to the thumb sticks 'drifting' on their own over time
The buttons are slightly cheaper feeling, (hard to describe
Used to corded controllers, 'cause I don't like batteries
it does need good AA batteries but it lasts for reasonable amount of periodI recommend this to all PC gamers who are familiar with xbox360 controller....
It's awesome battery life and ease of use works very well with games designed to support it
No problem at all, I am using Duracell rechargeable batteries and it works so good with it
The duracell battery leaked after the controller is not used for a couple of month and my controller is no more working.
If your using it on a xbox 360 or pc works without a problem a must have for a multi platform gamer c:
No connectivity issues and the batteries last a good while.
Never have connectivity issues or anything come up with the hardware
I bought two of the wireless controllers on sale to replace a refurbished controller which I suspect was never an original Microsoft controller but merely a Chinese knock off due to its endless connectivity issues
only been about 5-7 feet away, but I've had no connectivity issues at all
Of course it will cost you more because it is official and made well, but beware do not purchase cheaper versions as they are made of poor quality and do not last as long nor as durable!
I think it just don't like the 64 bit versions, If I was using a 32 bit system it wouldn't be a problem.
Well this worked out perfectly because the normal wireless controller is about $50 normally (I think $40 on Amazon), and the wireless receiver was about $20 unless you get ripped off and get a sketchy 3rd party fake version.
What i didn't like was that the analog make some weird noises, not a big deal, but it is a little bit annoyingBut anyway, i do recommend this controller, the Wireless version at least, because i can plug my laptop into a big screen and sit on my couch away from the keyboard and enjoy my games
Nearly $50 is not a good value for the cheap knock off version when you are being sold the official Microsoft version

The only complaint I have about it is that while the wireless adapter is plugged in, it makes a weird buzzing noise
Not sure if all the products are like so, but my left joystick makes a squeaky noise
The right bumper was broken and the triggers make an annoying squeaking noise
I noticed only little squeaky noise while moving left analog stick (it's not irritating, 80% of people may not notice it)
Haven't had any trouble with connectivity or bad inputs
I can't master the keyboard inputs need on most FPS games for the
The problem with this controller is that the D-pad is not very accurate or is not made for older games so you'll end up doing nothing or putting on the wrong input a lot of the time
Their controllers had weird input reactions, so you could not use them

Mainly this is an issue when a game that was primarily developed for console then ported to PC, but even when they develop a game for PC with console ports in mind the game mechanics can be really annoying with a keyboard and mouse
It's always good to have this handy because some ports are just awful for anything but a console controller
I also have often been frustrated by the clumsy porting of game console controller functions to keyboard/mouse set-ups
I have to hand it to Microsoft on this one - they've really nailed their gamepad design, and I commend their choice to make a product that's compatible with both Windows and the XBox 360.Most PC games are designed to play better with a keyboard and a mouse, but some lazy console ports really work better with a controller.
