for it's price, it is worth it. It is designed with the playstation 2 controller in mind. What I disliked about it is that it is not compatible with certain games that I used other controllers for. For example I have been playing Fallout 4 with never any controller issues and I used many different controllers to play Fallout before, but this controller is not recognized by Fallout 4. There are multiple other games with the same issue but overall it works great for the games that it does work for, so for the price it is a good buy, or you can save up a little more and get a better one.

Its not a bad device for what it is. However, it feels like for what its being marketed as it really drops the ball. By default, the right analog is disabled making the computer only recognize the input as another d-pad. This is easy enough to fix by pressing the mode button in the middle of the controller, but why this was an option in the first place is puzzling. In addition, documentation stating this was an option would have been nice too. Also, its not recognized as a windows controller even after installing the drivers and completely useless manager program from SteelSeries support site. So if you want to play anything like Borderlands 2, Grid, Call of Duty, or any big blockbuster game you have to use a mapping program like xpadder for each game separately. Although it may be more expensive, I would highly recommend purchasing a wireless receiver from Microsoft instead so you can just use a wireless xbox 360 controller without all the hassle. Or if you can find any still, plug and play usb xbox 360 controllers will work as well.
