I bought this with an Xbox->USB adapter for use with my livingroom based computer and arcade games. Windows recognizes it as a native game controller right away without any special drivers. Fired up Ms. Pacman and immediately felt much more at home vs. playing with a gamepad. The controls are a little squishy compared to a true arcade stick, but this is probably due to the analog capabilities. Tried a few other games, the buttons are nice and crisp.

Overall it's a very nice addition and it works quite well. Worth the $30 for sure.

Nice design and easy to use. Haven't had any problems with it at all.

Purchased for my wife to play Ms Pacman on Xbox. Worked very well, but only lasted 15 minutes before the down control stopped working. Played around with it for a while, but could not get it working again. Returned and got another one, hoping that we just got a bad one. Unfortunately, the replacement only lasted a few minutes longer before it no longer worked to move right. Could actually hear noises coming from inside the controller when moving the joystick to the right, so I assume that something broke in the inside. Now my wife is not a big person, and most teenage boys are much stronger than her, so I doubt that this joystick could last the abuse that a teenage boy would give it. Would definitely not recommend this item.

got this to play some fighters with primarily, as the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection is just begging to be played old school style. it took about 30 minutes to get back in the swing of it, but i'm now busting out specials even more proficiently than i was with the normal pad. also great for any sidescrolling beat'em ups you might have access. also, if you have a modded x-box (like me) then its a must have as well. all the arcade greats, just a click away. i was originally concerned about the quality of this stick after reading some reviews, but so far its been good, and i haven't babied it a bit. i'll update if something goes wrong, but so far this stick seems to be a keeper.

This was about the only arcade stick I could find for the xbox. It seemed cheaply made when I first unpacked it, but it worked flawlessly when I started playing with it. After about an hour of Metalslug something in the joystick broke. It still works, but there was previously some push-in action with the stick. Now it is just loose and slips in and out. Not really an issue if you are just playing arcade games with it, but it makes me wonder what is next to go.

This product is excellent. It works well and provides large amounts of enjoyment. I would highly recommend it, especially if you have a modded xbox so you can use it with any title you like.
