    GARBAGE

    I literally signed up on best buy JUST to write a review on how TERRIBLE this remote is. You bought your XBOX to play games. With this remote all you'll be doing is yelling because you cannot aim whatsoever. The joysticks are garbage, the buttons stick, the lights are too freakin bright, the whole design and every last thing about it sucks. If you buy one, you're wasting the money. Go buy one of the Microsoft controllers, they're 100 times better, and that's not even joking. I think the only good thing about it, is you don't ever run out of battery power since it's corded, but even then, sometimes I've had issues with THAT.

    Pros - Comfortable design - Attractive design - Durable Cons - Triggers are extremely stiff, causing a lot of pain on lengthy racing game sessions - D-pad isn't good for fighting games

    Low Grade Controller

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am not happy with the joysticks on this controller. I normally play on a wired microsoft controller and the switch to this one was difficult. The joysticks feel all or nothing. I had to turn my in game sensitivity setting down by half and I still can't aim because there is no middle ground. It is very hard to be accurate. I play mainly FPS and this controller cuts my KDR in half. I also play NHL13 and it does pretty well for that game. I'm planning on exchanging this for a standard microsoft controller. My credentials if they are important to you: typically a 2.5 or higher KDR on any FPS that I play. I only recommend this controller for the casual gamer.

    Good controller, beware of joystick rubber peeling

    This controller works well, and is fast and responsive. I also really like the style of it. However, after a few weeks the rubber on the joystick of the controller started peeling.

    Not worth it

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this controller because it was cheap and my one friend liked it. The joy stick aren't as sensitive as other controllers and is bad if you play games like cod or halo. I just turned the light off since can be distracting at times. My turtle beach mic couldn't even plug into the controller since doesn't have slot for the 2 plastic pieces to help hold it in place. The controller is cheap and looks nice but should spend money and get actually Microsoft ones since knock offs are even worse.

    Horrible for fast action games

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this simply based on the lighting. Luckily I didn't need a controller, because then I would've been even madder. I play COD MW2 competitively and right from the start the joysticks are laggy and stick. You can't control looking speed or precise aiming. Maybe this controller will work for sports games or others that don't require precise stick movement. Control feels good in hands, looks good, and seems durable. Don't buy if playing fast paced games with joystick movement.

    bad joysticks and connectivity

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    this controller is absolutely horrible if you play shooter games. The joysticks are not sensitive at all for shooter games. The worst of all is that it disconnects itself out of nowhere whenever it wants and it messes me up while playing. You're better off buying the regular Xbox controller. Because you bought your Xbox to have fun and this controller ruins it.

    the speed on the sticks very from really fast to really slow. There is no consistance on this controller. It lights up great. If it work better than one of my 4yr old controllers it would be even better.

    I bought 2 controllers. 1 lasted about 2 weeks before the wire started tearing next to the controller. The other lasted about a month and started doing the same thing. every wired controller i've bought has been junk.

    waste of money

    Have had this controller for just over a month, now my right stick doesn't work and will not reset itself. Do yourself a favor and just spend the extra money on an Xbox controller. At least then you get something that works most of the time.

    It'd be cool... if it worked!

    A controller that lights up caught my attention and I figured for 29.99 its 10 bucks cheaper than the regular 360 controller w/ cord. First one I got worked for about 15 min before it started randomly shutting down on me. Took the cord out and plugged it back in but the console wouldn't respond to it. Returned it for a new one.... same problems. I have the regular one with a cord, no problems.

    DO NOT BUY

    I bought this for my son for Christmas. He hasn't even had it a month and the cord is TEARING OPEN by the remote. The remote is very poor quality. I used it once and was afraid I was going to break it. Pay the little bit extra to get a good remote my advise.

    There are so many problems with this controller i'm not going to bother to list them all; I've had to swap it out for a different one four times and every time there is something wrong with it. Trust me; spend an extra 10 dollars for a controller that lasts.
