So all you people who actually own an Xbox know that unless you have large hands the standard control pad is cumbersome. Well then get this one. It basically takes care of the problem by streamlining the control pad, mostly by just losing that stupid Xbox logo in the center and redistributing the buttons in a much more comfortable manner. I've used it for the last few days playing the hell out of Halo and Madden 2002. I will be picking up a couple more so I can store the standard model in the closet with the box it came in. Microsoft needs to hire an ergonomics engineer....

This controller is much better than the Xbox controller that comes with the console. The grips make it comfortable to hold onto for hours at a time. The button layout is easier to use than the standard controller because they're spaced out better. Also, it looks even better in person than in the picture. When I bought it at the store, a girl in the other line came to check it out because she thought it looked so cool.

This controller is great for kids because the size is smaller but not to small like the playstation controllers. I am going to sell the controller that came with the game.

Let me tell you something. Do not get this controller. It is bad. It broke the first day i bought it. It has nice grip but it brakes so easaly... Trust me it's bad!!!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased these for my husband who specifically wanted the turbo option which is shown. The ones that came are the 200 series instead of the 400 series and don't have that option. The pictures and description need to be changed so people have an acurate description of what they are purchasing. I will be returning since they are not what I wanted.

DO NOT waste your money on this controller-- shell out any extra $10 and get a controller you will actually use. Bought mine at Gamestop, only controller they had (boo, Gamestop.) Thumstick STICKS and has no resistance, plastic feels cheap. Not very useful for shooter games when you need percise movement. I was so sick of mine I broke it in half in my hands. You just dont mess with a man and his video games lol. Never buy Mad Kat, too cheaply made.

The controller for sale is not the one pictured. The controller is a 200 series and not a 400 series as pictured. There are no rubber grips on the sides and the thumbsticks are made of plastic, not rubber as on the control pad pros. That means that your thumbs easily slip off of the thumbsticks. It also doesn't have a turbo button. This is pretty much just a useless controller. It's okay for your friends if they come over but this should definately not be your main controller for the xbox. I recommend the 400 series which is what I thought I was getting. I have one and have used it so much that I have worn the rubber off of the left thumbstick. It served me well for about 3 years.

The item received was not the item pictured. Item received did not have the turbo feature show on the item pictured... Other than that the controller works well.

I have heard good reviews that this controller has a wonderful macro feature and that it can execute even the hardest of button configurations to meet the needs of the gamer... I am waiting for mine as we speak, but i am in the hopes that when i get it, i won't have a problem with programming my buttons configuration that i need to have the advantage over most or all of my opponents... can hardly wait...

Also i did some research with the techies at MadCatz and they emailed me with the assurance that this GamePad Pro with Macro feature can and will execute the commands i want on this controller... I feel confident about this Macro controller...

This controller is great to buy if you need extras for friends, etc, but in no way do I think this is a worthy replacement for a Xbox controller. The buttons, triggers and joysticks are cheaply made: Triggers started coming loose and joysticks started moving rough very early in use. The cord is way too short: I had to sit very close to the Xbox to play. Depending how you like to play, varies how you will like this product.

Pros:

1. Good extra for friends, etc

2. Great for small hands

Cons:

1. The cord is too short.

2. The triggers and joysticks are cheaply made.

3. Joysticks are very sensitive compared to the original Xbox controllers.
