5 Stars It is a controller…
It is a controller. It is new. I have heard of some funky things where if you disconnect the headset and reconnect the HS will not work until the box is rebooted. The one that I got works well including the D pad.
5 Stars Black 360 Controller Wireless
This Products Was Like Brand New And As Described Worked Great No Problems At All.
4 Stars More show than anything.
This is the default Xbox 360 wireless controller with some awesome Halo 3 artwork slapped on.
This is an excellent edition to any Halo 3 fan’s collection, however, one must note that the controller itself is more of a “show-off” item rather than an actual game playing one.
The top plate of the controller has a smooth, glossy finish with the back side being of a normal matte finish, like the regular controller. The problem I have with the controller is that the glossy finish gets in the way of intense gaming. Sweaty hands may create a slippery or sticky surface, especially after long hours of gaming.
I recommend this controller only for diehard Halo fans, but not the regular and/or hardcore Xbox 360 fan. Any other game player should stick to the default Xbox controller.

4 Stars Good, but has some serious flaws to address.
The overall layout of the controllers is great, it’s easy to use, and all the buttons and analog sticks are in the best spots they could possibly be in. It’s extremely comfortable, my hands have never hurt even after playing for many hours.
The only drawback is the battery life, durability and keeping it clean. I have rechargeable batteries for both of my controllers and it seems the need to be recharged every 5-6 hours. They’re suppose to last 8 hours, granted I have owned the batteries for almost two years now, and rechargeables tend to lose their charge over time. I’ve gone through about 3-4 different controllers in almost 2 years because of durability. If you drop them head first the bumper buttons are likely to never work again, this is a very common problem. The analog sticks also get so worn that they don’t response very well. You’ll notice this once the sticks become harder to move or start to make a squeaking noise. They also don’t repel dirt very well. I’ve noticed they get dirty after only a couple weeks, this goes for the black controllers too.
Overall, these controllers are great. I just wish they’d fix the main issue I have, which is durability. I have to get yet another controller because my left analog stick is squeaking now and is a bit harder to move. And you pay $40-$50.
5 Stars GREAT product!
I received my ‘refurbished’ wireless controller sooner than the estimated delivery date. That reason alone is why I buy through Amazon. I sincerely do not believe that this product was refurbished. It is 100% flawless and had all of the stickers that normally come with a brand new controller. Either way, the product works flawlessly and was bought at a great price. I recommend doing business with this outlet. =)
