    I needed a controller for my laptop. I don't game often on my laptop but wanted something not to expensive that would work. After trying a couple knock off brands that ended up daying I caved and bought this one. I would have saved so much money if I had gotten this in the first place. It is great and i can throw it in my bag for my commute.
