5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised, November 28, 2005

This review is from: Microcon Wireless Controller (Video Game)

I purchased this for my son two weeks ago and so far it has held up well. He has gone through two other wired controllers which I didn't like from the start. I'm not sure how long this one will last but so far I like the controller as much as one I purchased for myself at more than twice the price. Nice compact size even for adult hands.

ADDITIONAL:
I've had 4 of these now and my joy over them has gone down significantly. Two have died and of the remaining two, one will stop functioning for many seconds then start working again. Perhaps this is caused by two conrollers attempting to share the same signal, but it doesn't really matter, it's a pain. For the price there's not many other choices, so go ahead and get one but hold on to your reciept.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remember to put in the batteries!, August 17, 2005

This wireless controller works remarkably well. The setup is little more than a wired controller--stick in the receiver, make sure the channel on the receiver and the controller are the same...and be sure to put the batteries in the controller. It sits in your hands much as the old Nintendo 8-bit controller used to, but has all of the Xbox controls. Great for anybody that finds the full-size Xbox controllers a bit cumbersome and hand-wearying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its awesome to the untrained eye, June 12, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Microcon Wireless Controller (Video Game)

It's cool. It's fits almost any where. However it's size is recommended for smaller hands usually kids and teens. Besides that it's awesome.
