• Great to give to friends

  Whenever anyone comes over to play, this is perfect. Give him the pink controller, and don't let him forget who's in charge.
  
  

• A must-have for XBox 360 Gamers

  
  By A3V6Z4RCDGRC44 on 2005-11-26
  If you've got an XBox 360, you really need to get your hand on one or two wireless controllers. These controllers are GREAT for keeping your gaming area free of clutter. To start with, the controller is much smaller than the standard XBox controller was.
  
  For control items, you start with the standard blue X, yellow Y, red B and green A buttons. There are two thumbsticks, one on the upper left and one in the center right. There is also a directional (d-pad) in the lower left.
  
  
  Next, you have a pair of shoulder buttons at the "top" of the unit, up above the other buttons. You also have a pair of triggers below those shoulder buttons.
  
  Finally, you have a center X button that can be used to turn the console on and off, plus a "start" and "back" tiny white buttons on either side of it.
  
  The unit has a rechargeable battery unit inside it, the size of two AA batteries. You have to buy a recharger set SEPARATELY that lets you charge up while you play. In essence you plug the charger into the back of the controller - and the other end into the USB port in the front of the XBox 360 unit. So you play with the controller "wired" as it charges up. When it's fully charged again, you just pop off the wire and keep playing.
  
  The range of the wireless unit is 30', which is probably much further than anybody is really going to even try playing a game at. The wireless is much easier on your hand - no cable holding you down - plus it's a great help in keeping your gaming area organized. You can easily pass the controller from person to person, and visitors can come and go without tripping over wires.
  
  The documentation says you can get 40 hours of gameplay between charges, but if you have features such as vibration on, that sucks the time down to maybe 8-10 hours. It's up to you of course - I personally like having vibration on because it is often important for gameplay to get those warning signals.
  
  Still, even if I have to plug the cables in every 10 hours or so to give it a juice boost, I still love wireless!! Highly recommended.
  
  

• A slight improvement.

  
  By A2O2I1M1492T7P on 2007-04-30
  Ok, so this is basically just the white controller painted black. To be honest, the white controllers don't look too bad, its the white console that looks terrible. But that is my opinion. On to the facts. The black controller is almost exactly the same, but part of the grip is more "matte" than the white one. The white controller always makes me sweat for some reason because it is too smooth. These look great however. The colors are well matched even though it may not look like it in the pictures. I'd definitely recommend picking these up if you have an elite, or if you have core/premium and you want the black ones so the grime doesn't show as much, I'd highly recommend these.
  
  

• Hands down, the best controller I have ever used.

  
  By AFU1WL36LAQ9L on 2007-03-02
  I've gamed with almost every gamepad imaginable and never before have I used a controller that is so comfortable and easy to use. The Xbox 360 wireless controller is near flawless. Everything from its button layout to its build quality to its comfort level; it's all just perfect.
  
  Never before have my hands wrapped around a controller so naturally. Typically with a controller, you have to make your hands form to the controller in order to access all of the buttons, typically resulting in fingers getting jammed into each other uncomfortably or strecthed out across the controller awkwardly. With the 360 controller, my hands just mold into every angle of the design and my fingers effortlessly wrap around the controller's button layout.
  
  The button layout is as follows: Two analog sticks, D-Pad, four face buttons, two triggers, two shoulder buttons, start & back buttons, and the Xbox Guide Button. I'd give the layout and button design a 10/10. Everything is accessible without having to move your hands from the controller and everything has a solid, durable design. The triggers are smooth and glide with the motion of your fingers and are truly perfect. The shoulder buttons work just fine and are easily accessible (these are where the black and white buttons the from Xbox controller S went). The face buttons have great spring to them and don't feel mushy like the Playstation controller. The analog sticks are an 11/10. Compared to the PS controller in which you jam your fingers into each other and trying to correct out the play in the analog sticks, the 360's sticks are awesome; firm, precise, smooth gliding, and simply perfect. The D-Pad is unchanged from the Xbox controller, which wasn't good to begin with. It works and get the job done, but it could be better. The start and back buttons have moved to the middle of the controller and are better off in the center. And last but not least, the Xbox guide button (which needs a paragraph of its own).
  
  The Xbox guide button is a feature that is running 24/7 and is implemented straight into the 360 architecture and games. Even in the middle of a game, you can hit the Xbox guide button and access everything from your gamerscore, friend's lists, messages, music, achievements, game invites, etc. It can even take you back to the dashboard without even having to restart the console or remove the disc. When you're done with the dashboard, you just fire the game back up with even leaving the couch. When you want to turn off individual controllers or even turn off the console, simply hit the guide button. Want to turn on the console? Just hit the guide button. It's easily the best feature of the controller.
  
  Wireless technology = 10/10 Seamless integration with the console and an incredible stable connection with the console, even through walls, doors, etc; it'll even stay connected through different stories of a house. In over a year's time with the 360 wireless controller, I have NEVER lost my connection with the console. That's right, never. No interference with my wireless network, 2.4 ghz cordless phones, nothing. It is incredible how seamless it is. To connect a controller to a console, turn it on, press the link button on the controller and then the connect button on the console and almost magically, your controller is hooked right up and playing. And once your controller is connected to your console, you never have to link them together again; the next time you turn on your 360, the controller is automatically synched with the 360. If you want to add controllers to your 360, you simply synch them together with the same method that I just mentioned. Want to use your controller on a different 360? Simply synch them together and you're playing. The wireless technology with the 360 and its seamless integration is top-notch. Simply the fact that I will never have to deal with cords again makes the wireless controller more than worth the extra money. But with wireless, you have the issue with charging and batteries...
  
  I average about 25 hours per charge with my controller, although intense vibration feedback in games can drop that number down to about 20 hours. I get plenty of charge to last me through a week or two and when I run out of juice, I simply switch out my battery pack with the fresh pack sitting on my quick charge kit. The biggest problem with the wireless controller is the fact that you are literally forced into buying the rechargeable battery pack with the Play & Charge kit or the Quick Charge kit. It's not that big of a deal, but if you think you can get away with AA batteries, this controller will eat them for lunch, especially with rumble. Speaking of rumble, the motors in the 360 controller pack quite a punch and you'll end up paying more in batteries than the mere rechargeable pack costs. Everything from the roar of a machine gun to the light vibration of deflecting a pass to the jolt of a hard impact, everything on-screen is brought to life in your hands with this controller. And no, this isn't the same rumble like the PS2 or Xbox controller. The 360's rumble is more seamlessly integrated into games and serves a much more useful purpose in immersing you within the experience and can create all kinds of varied feedback effects like never before. I'd take this over six degrees of tilt any day.
  
  Overall, this controller is near flawless and hands down the best I have ever used. Comfort, wireless precision, durability; this controller packs it all into one sleek little controller.
  
  

• Got Pink? 360 controller

  
  By A15LH0ZNB79DLT on 2008-04-20
  If you've got an Xbox 360, you need controllers. This pink one is perfect if you are comfortable in your masculinity, or if your favorite color is pink. If you want to make this controller a bit more manly, take a black marker and draw a skull or two on it.
  
  The layout of the buttons on the Xbox 360 is amazing. It's perfect for many of the games that are on the 360. The rumble is effective, and the wireless capacity is wonderful.
  
  The only beef I have, is that I've had two controllers that become loose on the left analog stick, and they began to drag the cursor when not touched. The Xbox Warranty I had from the console replaced them free of charge. Luckily I had extra controllers to get me by in the week it took to replace it.
  
  When matched with the rechargable battery pack, they give you lots of gaming time between charges.
  
  
• Perfect controller for the Halo Covenant fan.
  By A15LH0ZNB79DLT on 2008-04-20
  If you've got an Xbox 360, you need controllers. This covenant model if pefect for Halo fans of all ages. Todd McFarlane did the artwork for this controller. The picture won't soon rub off onto your hands, and it's a great conversation piece amongst your plain colored controllers.

• I got the blue(s) controller!
  By A15LH0ZNB79DLT on 2008-04-20
  If you've got an Xbox 360, you need controllers. This blue one is a nice shade of blue, and goes well with either the pro white console scheme, or the elite black one. It makes an excellent gift.

• I'm a male and use this at work
  By A21UFPWAEGHAUG on 2007-12-20
  I'm lucky enough to work at a software company where playing video games during lunch and evenings is widely accepted.
  
  You must be wondering why a heterosexual male software engineer would purchase a "pink" controller for use in a group environment with other heterosexual males.
  
  Reasons:
  
  1) no one else will dare use this controller
  2) when I clobber an opponent, it's even more humiliating to them that a pink controller was used
  3) I like the shock value
  4) chicks dig it (not that many are around, but I'm being proactive)
  
  
• a must have! you need this one!
  By A4G51W9PC7TJL on 2006-04-19
  if you have a xbox 360 system you owe it to yourself to pick up a wireless controller..they are very comfortable to hold and have all the functions of the regular controller..and whats very cool about this one is if you get the plug and play charge kit..you can actually play while you charge the battery or just have the controller hooked up after the system is shut off and it trickle charges for optimum performance...this is worth the money..if you have the wired controller trade up ..and go for the best.
  
  
• Only for the Hardcore
  By A1ZR8RRX3PN0SO on 2007-09-17
  This device works the same as all previous Xbox 360 controllers only with more attractive graphics on the front. Only die hard Halo fans need apply. What do you get for an extra $10? just the pretty looks and a little plastic army man (Okay, it is Spartan 117). I was disappointed that it did not come with the rechargeable battery for the extra money which is the reason for the lower review however, it is still a rock solid product and is recommended for the fanboy in us all.
  
  
• I adore my PINK controller!
  By ALSJYAZ2C22IY on 2007-11-27
  I love the Xbox 360 but it was hard sharing my husband's conroller because he always complained about me draining the batteries in it, lol.
  
  So I went and bought me my own, in PINK even! He knows it is mine and he would not be caught dead using it. So I don't have to worry about him draining my batteries, haha.
  
  I had a friend tell me that it was frivolous to get it in pink but I disagree. It works and costs exactly the same as the white ones, so why not shake things up with some color?
  
  The pink is so cute and girly. I really love it!
  
  
• I've never used a better controller
  By AIZFBWW8NJY90 on 2006-04-05
  Microsoft got it right this time. The battery life is no lie either, I easily play 30 - 40 hours on a set of AA batteries. Best of all the headset hooks up to the controller and works wirelessly as well.
  
  Perfect
  
  
• Got 360 Black controller?
  By A15LH0ZNB79DLT on 2008-04-20
  If you've got an Xbox 360, you need controllers. This black one is elegant, and matches the Elite 360. It also goes well with the white console too.

• A superb controller
  By A22AD8M2SSOFHJ on 2007-02-19
  I really feel Microsoft has done a great job with this pad. After the original XBox controller that felt like it was made backwards this one feels great. The buttons are placed right and it fits well in your hands. Generally I would say it's a toss up between the PS3 and 360 control. They both do the job right. The trigger buttons feel placed well and even the analog sticks are in a good place. This paddle also gets excellent range without loosing it's signal. My only qualm is personal. My experience after playing long hours is that right hand gets a little tight from gripping the control pad. I am sure most people feel just fine gripping this pad. Make sure you get a rechargable batterey pack so you don't spend a fortune on batteries. This pad is obviously a must have for anyone with a 360.
  
  
• Good Stuff!
  By AORUJ0XAQOH4H on 2007-09-19
  Well, seeing as though I'm a Halo fan, and was pretty disappointed in the Halo 3 Edition 360, because of it looking pretty plain, I decided to get this instead, really I think it was worth it if you're a Halo fan, the design I think is great, and the figurine, small, but very detailed. Now just like other people the only BIG problem I see is with the battery, it would have been nice to get a recharge pack or something, but all in all it's worth buying for the Halo fans.
  
  
• Wireless > Wired
  By AQOMPOIU3J1JP on 2006-12-26
  I know I'm not the only one who remembers Nintendo's first attempts at wireless controllers. Since then I've always had that in mind, and was reluctant to try these wireless controllers for the 360.
  But these are amazing.
  They feel just as responsive and reliable as any wired controller, and if you really want to, you have the option of hooking them up to your 360 with another accessory (not included) later, if you really prefer wired.
  
  Misc.:
  The "X" button in the middle of the controller is used to access the 360 dashboard, not just to turn on/off the console.
  If you turn the console off through the dashboard, these controllers will automatically turn off, to save battery power.
  
  NOTE: This item does NOT come with a rechargeable battery pack. (-1 Star)
  
  
• Comfortable
  By A3O8D6120XD8J4 on 2006-02-24
  These controllers are so much better than the first Xbox controllers. The shape fits your hands so prefectly. Although I have to say, best part is the no wires. I used to play with three other friends on the Xbox and whenever they leaved, the wires were all tangled up and I had to sit there for about 15 minutes just trying to untangle them. In this case, you don't have to stress. Another good part about this is that you can turn on the Xbox 360 with it, thats awesome. If you buy an Xbox 360 and you're not sure if you should spend the extra money on a wireless controller, trust me, its so much better, no hassle this way. I definately recommend this to Xbox 360 gamers.
  
  
• quite possibly the best controller ever made
  By A2U7CVNUP9F832 on 2005-12-08
  if you're one of the people who bought an original xbox, you all remember the "duke" controller that it launched with. the size and discomfort of this huge controller led to so much negative feedback that microsoft was forced to redesign it. in light of doing so, microsoft designed one of the best controllers on the market, known as the controller S. not wanting to repeat history, its obvious that microsoft carefully designed the new controller for their latest console, the xbox 360. to say that the wireless xbox 360 controller is the best i've used is an understatement.
  
  the first thing many gamers will notice is how incredibly light the controller is. in fact, the wireless is LIGHTER than the controller S for the original xbox, even with the battery pack on. the controller is also very comfortable to hold. with the combination of the above, gamers will be able to keep their eyes on the game, and not constantly have to look down at the controller to locate buttons. after some gaming, you almost forget you're even using a controller.
  
  if you've used a controller S before, you'll feel right at home with the xbox 360 wireless. this is essentially the same controller. there are still the 2 analog sticks, the d-pad, the 2 triggers, and of course, the A-X-Y-B buttons. the black and white buttons have both been removed, being replaced by the shoulder bumper buttons, which are on top of the controller. the back and start button are now beside the brand new "guide" button. the guide button is easily the coolest innnovation on the new controller. players can turn on the console with a single push of the button, among many other features. all of the buttons and both analog sticks feel much more responsive and workable (for lack of a better term) vs. the controller S.
  
  the ring of light around the controller is also very cool, because while you're playing, one of the 4 segments lights up to designate players 1-4. before launch, i was confused as to how the wireless controllers would work with no adapters, this is where the console comes in. with one press of a button on the xbox 360, the console automatically designates which controller will be players 1-4.
  
  performance wise, this controller is flawless. while microsoft says that the controller's range is 30 feet, i tested at >40ft and the controller still worked flawlessly. while i really don't think anyone will be playing any games from 30 feet away, its nice to know that the signal is so strong. the vibration is excellent on the controller, its strength is also adjustable.
  
  another nice thing for the controller is that the headset port is now on the bottom of the controller, so the wire for it can remain out of your way. if you've played on xbox live with the headset, you know how this could become frustrating.
  
  the battery life is supposebly 40 hours, but depending on how strong you have the vibration set and how far away you are playing, chances are you won't get nearly as many hours between charging.
  
  my only gripes are that the placement of the shoulder buttons can occasionally be mistaken for the triggers, and vice versa. this can be annoying in games like PGR3, where the trigger is brake, and the shoulder button is used to change the view, and the wrong press of one can lead to frustration. however, once you use the controller more, you get used to them and they shouldn't be a problem.
  
  all in all, this the best controller to launch with a console ever. i strongly recommend picking up some of these, along with some extra battery packs, or the play and charge kits, which allow you to continue using the controller while the console charges it.
  
  9.5/10
  
  
• Great controler
  By A32UGF3AUYKH7H on 2005-11-24
  I have used this controler many times at my neighbors house, and it is basical the same thing as the S-controler, but with the start button moved to the center, and the white and black butttons mooved to the "shoulder" of the controler. This is a very comfortable controler and has great wireless range and the controllers precision is Phenomenal from the pressure sensitive triggers to the joysticks there flawles in my mind.
  
  this controller is WELL worht the money!! you sould also buy the play and charge kit so when the batterie runs low you can play uninterupted.
  
  
• "Different"
  By A31H0N1UPQP62A on 2007-08-13
  Say you have a bunch of friends, and you all have 360's, and you decide to have a lan party. Everyone knows after a long time most people tend to not remember which controller is theirs. ( Especially when everyones drinking, or smoking.) This kind of helps the owner of it alleviate that problem... unless you want to have your name in magic marker on your controller. Being the only black controller at our LAN parties makes it easily distinguishable for me and I dont leave with someone elses controller, cuz who knows what other people touch before they play xbox.
  
  
• Not quite as ugly as it looks
  By A3PB65ID19UGRZ on 2007-11-13
  I bought this one because I found it on sale. It is not quite as bright and ugly as it looks in the picture, but it isn't dark blue either. A nice plus is that it won't get yellowish like the white ones do over time. I also have the blue rechargeable battery pack which is now available. Other then the color it is the same as any other 360 controller, which is in my opinion the greatest controller of all time, absolutely perfect except the D-pad can be a bit weird. Would buy again.
  
  
• Using it on a PC
  By A1IZRF4DSWVMN8 on 2007-09-29
  I bought this wireless controller to use with the wireless USB adapter for the PC. I also have a wired Xbox 360 controller. The shape and button layout make for one of the most comfortable and ergonomic game pads ever designed. And the weight is perfect.
  
  The flaws: The wireless controller must be manually powered on by holding down the middle Xbox button each time you turn on your computer or when the controller powers down. You also must sync the USB adapter and the controller(s) manually each time as well by holding down a button on the USB adapter and then pressing a button on the gamepad. On the Xbox 360, you don't have to hold down a button on the console at all, just press the activate on the controller -- much better IMO.
  
  Also, the default button PC layout in games is DIFFERENT than on the wired Xbox 360 controller! (This is just stupid, MS!) Marvel Ultimate Alliance supports 360's controllers native (a requirement for the Games for Windows logo) with visual button coding displayed on screen in-game. This works properly automatically on the wired controller, but the wireless buttons map to the totally wrong buttons making the on-screen button graphics useless.
  
  Lastly, the wireless controller takes FOREVER to turn itself off and I cannot find a way to do it manually except by pulling out the batteries. It sits there flashing trying to reconnect to the USB adapter even when your computer is off wasting batteries.
  
  Overall, the controller is great. I prefer the wired one though considering the above issues.
  
  
• Nice
  By A2WY0FR0XH5WEP on 2007-09-09
  This controller is a nice addition to any halo fans collection, but unless you really want the figure there is a rush to get one. Aside from aesthetic changes its identical to the regular controllers. The image resists scratching reasonably well. Also, the black battery pack matches this controller but unfortunately isnt included.
  
  
• Wireless controllers are the way to go.
  By A3C2A3D2KG1F1A on 2007-04-03
  First, I would like to say that this controller is LEAGUES above the original XBox controller as far as comfort goes. I used to swear by the PS2 Dualshock controller (yeah, I know you XBox fanboys just cringed cuz I said PS2, but I don't care, I just love games). Anyways, I didn't think any controller could best the PS2 Dualshock. I was wrong. This wireless controller is actually extremely comfortable, even more-so then the Dualshock. Also, unlike the new PS3 SixAxis controller, it actually feels nice and solid, not cheap and plasticy. I absolutely love it.
  
  Wireless is definitely the way to go. I have two extremely hyper Australian Shepherds and I can't tell you how many cords they've chewed, or how many times they've ran through my living room and tripped over cords from other controllers i've owned in the past - causing either the controller or the console to come crashing down. It's like the difference between having a typical universal remote for your TV and having a universal remote for your TV with a cord (yeah, they don't exist with cords but imagine if they did... just not quite right) - or it's like the difference between a infared cordless mouse and a ball-and-chain mouse. My couch is just far enough from my TV so that when I am using a controller with a cord I have to lean over so my cord isn't stretching across the living room. This controller frees me from that, I can just sit back and relax now. It's SO much better. I like how the analog sticks are placed on this controller. When I use the Dualshock now it seems like the analog sticks are much too low. This controller feels perfectly natural.
  
  There is one tiny complaint though. I almost knocked it down to four stars but I just couldn't. I would give this controller a 4.5/5 if I could. My complaint is that the analog sticks slip a tiny bit sometimes - which doesn't happen on the Dualshock because the analog sticks on the Dualshock are coated in rubber, as opposed to the plastic analog sticks for this controller. This is only slightly annoying for me in games like Gears Of War where perfect aiming is essential. It's a bit easier for me to aim with the Dualshock controller. Perhaps this is just an issue because I'm so used to the Dualshock. Other people don't seem to have this problem so it's probably just me.
  
  This controller RULES! Get it! oh and get the rechargeable battery kit too, you'll thank me later.
  
  
• Next Generation Controller
  By A1K5H8RA39DKT4 on 2006-04-19
  Truly a fascinating controller! This controller's performance is outstanding. There is no delay at all and is much more comfortable than even the first XBOX controller. Do not buy third-part wireless controllers. This is it if you are looking for quality and precision. It is so powerful that even if I, just for testing, try it from the most outrageous angle, it works.
  
  
• Get A grip
  By A3RYKKYS9E76LR on 2006-04-04
  This joystick is the best stick so far. The ability to power on the console, open and close the disc tray, complete control of the 360 interface, light good feeling and a comfort fit, and most of all wire less. I recommend getting a play and charge kit, mainly because changing out the batteries is costly the kit will save hundreds in the future years on battery cost. Now in my opinion when you think about all the sticks that have come out this stands out in the best way Microsoft has found a way to out do the comp. again. I don't want you to think that this is a joke I own 3 and recharge about once every 2 weeks. Nothing interferes with the signal at all not my Nextel, home phone, thunderstorms, rain, snow, "nothing." If you have a 360 YOU NEED this BABBY.
  
  
• Wireless is perfect
  By A3D56CXN54BTTV on 2006-08-03
  I just bought my 360 and ordered an extra wireless controller on another site (cheaper with free shipping too!) and I love them so far! They never lose connection and they are nice to hold. No wires holding you down either!
  
  My only gripe about these are that they don't come with a rechargable battery! Why make a next generation system and have the state of the art wireless controllers run on "AA"s??? Ohh wait! We can charge an extra 12 bucks to sell battery packs and another 30 for a recharging kit!
  
  Other than that they are great! I saved the money on the recharging cable and bought the recharging dock that comes with 1 battery pack and I bought 3 other battery packs so I'd always have wireless with no wires! Thats the way to go!
  
  But SHAME ON YOU MICROSOFT!

The Xbox Warranty I had from the console replaced them free of charge. Luckily I had extra controllers to get me by in the week it took to replace it.
  
  When matched with the rechargable battery pack, they give you lots of gaming time between charges.

  If you've got an Xbox 360, you need controllers. Here's the original, in all it's glory! The white is a match of the white console.

• Love the controller
  By A27H17GMV5MAJR on 2010-01-20
  I have had gaming systems since the day of the Atari 2600. From the single joystick to the Nintendo pad to the 360 I have played with all of them. I have to say that the people at Microsoft did an excellent job in developing this controller.
  
  It is lightweight, comfortable and is very easy to use with all games. I highly recommend getting the black controller, it looks and feels better. You cannot beat the wireless function and unlike the controllers of old, you do not need to face it directly at the console.
