User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Cheap alternative…
I purchased the black rechargeable battery to match my elite controller. My fault was realizing that this doesn’t come with the play and charge cord but it was no biggie since I already have one for my other controller. I opened the package an plugged it into my controller and immediately plugged in the cord to charge it. The light on the charger went red then green then blank. I plugged it into my other controller to no avail. After some troubleshooting on xbox.com, apparently some of these batteries are faulty. No biggie though, I ordered a replacement from Amazon at no additional charge. They work really well and if you play allot they are much cheaper than buying bucket loads of AA’s.

2 Stars Great, for a while
These are great, but as mentioned before, they die. I’ve had three, all different colors, and they all stopped working. Do not buy. Just use regular rechargeable batteries.

4 Stars Limited Lifetime
Apparently Amazon thinks this is battery pack is a game, haha…

Oh well… the pack is good… But won’t last forever… mine lasted about a year and a half.

5 Stars It certainly beats AA batteries
I bought this to replace my last rechargeable battery pack. Convenient product at a great price.

5 Stars Great battery pack
This batery pack works great.At least with this I can easily charge mine while I’m playing without ever handling batteries.NINTENDO CAN’T EVEN MATCH THIS!!!Microsoft beats Nintendo anyday.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Broken after 6 months
I bought 2 of these, after about 6 months, one of the battery won’t charge anymore, so it has to be plugged in all the time while playing. The other one’s charging light doesn’t work anymore, so you can’t tell if it’s charging. They both still work… but I’ll have to get new ones soon.

5 Stars Easy to Use
This are pecfect no more baterys and I can charge my 360 controller when i am playing.

5 Stars Worked as advertised
This product did what it was supposed to do, charge the battery pack while I played and allowed me to continue playing wirelessly after unplugging it when the battery was fully charged.

3 Stars It works…sometimes!
Ok, let me start by saying this. IF the charger works with your controller then this is a nice to have BUT (seriously, there has to be a but to this because it’s Microsoft) the Play and Charge kit doesn’t work with all 360 controllers! I have no idea why but the black controller that came with my Elite didn’t work at all with the Play and Charge kit. The charge light will turn red for about 30 seconds then turn green indicating a fully charged battery when in fact its not charged at all. Luckily, I had a buddy who’s black controller he bought separate DID work and so traded me controllers. Problem solved…I guess.

2 Stars Very handy… For a few months
I enjoy the ease of use, it is convenient to just plug it in to recharge the batteries.

Unfortunately two out of three of my battery packs died within 6 months of purchase, which means they are only usable while plugged in. As such, I have returned to using rechargeable Energizer batteries, which are cheaper and more reliable (as long as you keep a few extra pairs on hand in case you run out of juice mid-game).

If you’re a gambler, you might as well pick up at least one Play & Charge kit for the sake of convenience, but keep in mind that it costs as much as four AA rechargeable batteries and a charger.

5 Stars Works Great and Cheaper than buying the actual windows controller.
This is just what I needed. I have the 360 controllers and I wanted to use them on my computer games. There is a windows 360 controller, but it costs a lot more than this device. My force feedback wheel also works with this. You need to unplug your XBOX 360 first before you try to connect your controller to this device. and then push both reset buttons the one on the controller and the one on the device. Thank You

5 Stars Buy this if you have a 360 and/or play PC games
This thing is awesome, I plugged it in, sync’d the controller, and seconds later I was playing Far Cry 2 (all the buttons already set up). The xbox controller reacts just as good as it does with the 360 – movement with analog sticks was great too.

5 Stars excellet.
easy to use, lots of fun, specially if you own an xbox 360 and lots of controllers.

3 Stars user friendly
I originally got this for emulators. when you finally get it working.. it works just fine. but this item is not user friendly. after dozens of google questions, many different installation guides, and 2 or 3 3rd party programs I got it working..

5 Stars Ideal for emulators
Awesome, works perfectly. It couldn’t have been any easier to install in my Dell Inspiron 530s running XP Media Center 2005(which outputs to my 60″ HDTV). Just load the drivers, plug it in, sync the controllers…viola, the computer recognizes a new controller.

The syncing works the same way as on the 360 itself. You press the sync button on the device, wait for it to blink, then do the same on the controller.

I use it exclusively for emulators and it works flawlessly. Of course, you have to map the buttons in the emulator software, which is annoying, but you’d have to do that with any controller.

5 Stars Works great
I got this controller today, and it’s the best controller I’ve ever bought. The wireless lets me put my PC on my HDTV and play games from afar instead of being stuck with a short cable. It’s very responsive and there is no delay. Although many people here reported having problems with conflicting wireless devices, I’m using this with a wireless Microsoft mouse and they have no conflicts (I’m also using the 1.1 drivers from Microsoft’s website, not the drivers from the CD that came with it). Many games work great with this and the integrated support that’s already in newer games like Crysis, Left 4 Dead, and GTA IV is just going to get better. It’s extremely comfortable and it fits right in your hand. The combination of two shoulder triggers and two shoulder buttons is genius and it integrates with any game perfectly.

My only problem with this is that the only way to power it down is to let it turn itself off after a time of inactivity or taking out the battery. It would be nice if it powered off like a regular 360 controller hooked up to a 360, but it doesn’t bug me too much.

Either way, this is a great controller, and if you want to go wireless, this is an excellent solution.

5 Stars If you hate playing with the keyboard and mouse. This is for you.
I play alot of shooting and role playing games from windows. This controller save me the hassle of changing my settings on the keybroad to my liking. it’s simple to use too. if you have vista you might don’t have to install the software. i got lucky and didn’t need too. you can also use this controller with your xbox as well. two things for the price of one, you can’t beat that.

3 Stars Meh
The game is pretty good, but it took a long time to be shipped even though I did free 2day shipping it took over a weak and I was charged $3 for shipping, so I wouldn’t go with the company that sent me the game.

4 Stars Works as advertised
Installed on a 32-bit XP system. Have to use 3rd party software for some games, but otherwise works perfectly. Switches b/w xbox and pc. Battery life is dubious, but I picked up some Sanyo rechargeable here on Amz and they’ve taken away most of my headaches.

This thing is more solid than most el cheapo game pads I’ve used. Worth ponying up the extra $15+ to know that it can take some abuse.

Dongle is retarded, and I’m not entirely convinced that you can’t just buy the dongle (~ $18 on amz) and use an existing xbox controller (if you have one), but don’t quote me on that.

Have not tried in Vista or xp x64 yet.

5 Stars Wireless, Flawless Gaming
This product comes with an Official XBOX 360 Wireless Controller, Driver DVD, and a 5 foot long USB Receiver.

PROS: Many options with the Xbox 360 controller for controls

WIRELESS! It’s every gamers dream to own the best controller on the market

CONS: Why five feet long for the USB receiver? the size of a USB Flash Drive is all I need (or anyone for that matter); My controller doesn’t turn off, so I have to uninstall the battery back and clip it back in for the controller to stay off (I already tried push and hold the XBOX button down to turn it off and it didn’t work)

A little bit more for your information, this controller does NOT have *OFFICIAL* drivers to work on mac, so you will have to look up third-party developers’ MAC drivers for the xbox 360 controller (and they work too, trust me). Overall, I don’t see why anyone would need a $100 controller to play their games. PS3 and XBOX 360 use controllers just like these (in terms of size) and deliver a fantastic experience.

You’d be doing yourself injustice to pass this controller up.
