Customer Reviews:

Very nice.
I am so far thrilled with my controller. It is top of the line. Its not too heavy or to big or anything. It fits my hand well and I enjoy how far it can go.

The only grip I have is that if you have multiple xbox 360's in the room/area then you might get some issues. Microsoft has yet to have a paring option for each controller to an individual xbox 360.

When all the guys in the dorm get together and play a match there can be some issues. Like controllers singing into the wrong xbox or just flat switching during game play. Its not a huge issue but something to look into if you are going to be using your xbox in close vicinity with other xbox's.

Everything works great...now if we only have tilt-control ala PS3
Nothing much not to like about this control. The size and shape works well for me, and I have a relatively large hand. Much, much better than the first gen XBOX control. The best feature of the all is probably the power control, so you don't have to get off the couch to turn your xbox on. Someone just need to create a plug-in module to allow you to control the TV input control, so if you are on TV setting, you can swith to Video 1 and 2 without getting up or look for a remote control

One last thing in feature request...I'm sure someone at Xbox division is working on...is the tilt control ala PS3. Yeah I know this will complicate the control design and weigh, blah, blah...but it definitely adds a new dimension and fun factor to any game. Call it Xbox360 pro series and charge some extra. I'm sure folks with the right game in hand will be happy to pay for it.

Convenient
The best thing about this generation of consoles is the complete wireless experience. The controllers are very well made and feel solid in your hands, battery life is a solid 20 hours with the rechargeable batteries, and they work from across the house. I would recommend purchasing either the play and charge kit or the charging station to save you money on batteries.

Must-have for Xbox 360 owners
I am very hooked on this controller. At first I thought the idea of a wire less controller was just more hassle, but I'm completely convinced now. Mainly cause it stops my biggest fear from happening; someone pulling my console down. This didn't happen on the first Xbox because of the quick-disconnect; but it has happened quite a few times with my PS2 and i would die if my 360 fell.

Also this feels more like a remote now instead of just a game controller, making it easy to go through your system in the dark and know your no gonna trip if you get up.

Finally, I have owned almost every console from the NES and this is by far the best controller I have used.

Just buy it already!
