I have owned this controller for about five months now and I can say without a doubt I made the proper purchase. It is cheaper than the Microsoft equivalents but works (assuming) just as well. I've logged 70+ hours playing Spelunky on this Bad Boy as well as 60+ with Euro Truck Driver 2 and I didn't have to change a thing in the settings. It worked as soon as the games turned on. And its the same way for every single other game I have played using it (at least 50+, I have a massive Steam library but prefer Keyboard/Mouse for first person games. Rouge Legacy, Dirt 2, Strike Suit Zero, Super Meat Boy, honestly the list could go on for ever but for every single one it was pick up and play using this controller).
I must add that I play first person games with keyboard and mouse so if you are looking for review that covers that in particular you may want to skip mine.
I have encountered one problem that is going to require a bit of maneuvering and fixing to make work properly. Not all older games subscribe to the "pick up and playness" that I referenced earlier. Honestly so far it has only been one game (GTA: San Andreas), but I'm confident I can fix the issues at hand. It just gives me pause when it comes to other older games that it wont be so easy to "pick up and play".
It fits nicely in my hands (I have very large hands so it may be different for others) and the buttons seem to have normal responsiveness. The triggers have the right amount of resistance so you can make the perfect shot. Cord length is also long and has never been a hindrance to my gaming experiences.
It has fallen to the floor a few times off of my desk or out of my sleepy hands but has zero cracks and it has not affected its performance at all. Durability has been great. Triggers still work like they did coming out of the box which is wonderful when you consider a game like Spelunky requires you to hold down the right trigger for speed the entire game.
So to recap; Every modern game I have played using it has been a seamless experience. It is as if it is a 360 or PS3 controller. The lone older game I have tried to use it with has been a little wonky to say the least but I am confident I can program it to work the way it has with modern games. I should also add works great with NES and SNES ROMS. I cant believe I had been playing ROMS with a keyboard for so long. A controller makes them infinity easier and just feels right, makes the whole experience a bit more nostalgic.
If you are put off because it isn't an official Microsoft or Sony product stop it. This controller works amazingly with all modern games (again I use keyboard/mouse for first person games so that might make this review completely worthless to you) and with a couple minutes of fooling around can be programed to work perfectly with older games as well.
I do not regret buying this in anyway shape or form. It is a perfect controller for me to dig into my obscene library of games. I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to a friend.

Awesome gamepad for PC gamers
I'm a fighting game player, and my old Xbox controller was starting to get finnicky, so I got a controller designated for PC gaming from the recommendation of a friend. It's sleek and easy to use. Its D-Pad is super unique because of the diagonal inputs, which is amazing for fighting games. I use it for games ported from consoles, and it makes those games a lot easier. The cord is super long, which pretty much eliminated my gripes about it not being wireless. Overall, if you're looking for a PC gamepad, get this one. So far, I've had no problems.
