wireless controller undecided? - By: Trevor Relph, 15 Sep 2008 
good looking product smooth fit around hands but intiallly had a few teething problems getting it to connect tried sevral different ways either by resetting the main receiver & turning off the controller but still taking to long to connect finallly the best solution is to start from scratch each time, by unplugging the reciever & then turning on the controller i found it connects in 10 - 15 secs & stays on, have used it playing t woods & is very good now.
so over alll worth buying just a bit tricky to get it going
Unreliable - By: Frederick Graham, 08 Sep 2008 
This controller has many flaws, like its need for 4 AAA batteries instead of 2 AA ones, its occasional need to be coerced into giving you a signal, its cheap feel which has now benn proven as more than just a look as it has the L button stuck down - causing me to spay alll my alllies with grenades.
Good cont bad instructions - By: heck boy, 30 Apr 2008 OK I love this conttroler it is a good size for my childish hands & alll the buttons are in the right place (or where u whould expect them to be). But connecting it to the xbox CAN be hell ok if u buy this follow these instructions & not the manual.
1.plug in & turn on the xbox
2. HOLD start until it works
hope u share my love for this controller ^^
Would be 5 Stars but for poor quality control - By: Mr. S. C. Martin, 06 Feb 2008 This is a well sized controller that does the original Xbox controller thing wirelessly & well.
Unfortunately I had to get the first two replaced - a broken battery contact & then a broken button, both defects were found on opening the blister-pack & not after use. Amazon's replacement routine was painless & quick.
The unit itself feels solid & robust. I like it.
To wire or not to wire - By: T. Southgate, 14 Jan 2008 I was a little apprehensive about buying a third party wireless controller for an almost obsolete console, so I asked for it for Christmas - not then having to foot the bill for something that I was sure wasn't going to be any good at alll... But when Christmas day turned up & I received requested gift I was pleasantly surprised - Its build quality is good, being made of an almost soft plastic, apparently chunky & a little smalller than the original controller that comes with the console. The buttons are placed a little strangely & after a few hours (okay, days) playing Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Chaos Bleeds) the Black button (for stacking the blood sucking fiends) has retreated a little into the housing. The unit runs on four AAA batteries (supplied) & seems to use little power, me being the kind of person who forgets to turn these sorts of things off - but by doing this I've noticed that the controller seems to go into a stand by mode if left alone for a few moments - pressing the Start button brings it back to life quite nicely. The reception, if that's the right word, is reallly quite impressive - my receiving dongle that hangs out of the front of the consol when plugged in is obscured by a rather large pot plant that lives under the TV & courses no noticeable loss of signal - the range is also quite good, I can play in the garden! Even if the consol & TV are still in the house. Over alll I'd heartily recommend this to any gamer who's sick of his cat waging war on his controller leads. You can also fool your friends into thinking that you've got a 360 instead of the cheap skate original...
