Works as designed

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023

Style: Wireless ControllerVerified Purchase

I inherited my brother's old Xbox 360 a few years ago. The old wireless controller still works but I was having trouble with the right joystick and some of the buttons. It's a twelve year old controller, so the fact that I am just now having to replace it says a lot.
I bought this controller used from a third party seller on Amazon. It works as designed and pairing it with the Xbox was easy. Much better than the third party one I bought to save some $$$.

Nice! (Tested on 3 different OSs')

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2013

Style: Wired ControllerVerified Purchase

I will begin this by stating that this is the official Xbox 360 wired remote, the same one that may come packaged with your Xbox 360, unless it comes with a wireless one. The only difference between this regular Xbox 360 controller, and this Xbox 360 Controller for Windows is one thing, the windows version comes packaged with a driver disk. Now this disk is unnecessary if your windows machine has access to the internet because windows will most likely recognize the device and install it for you. If not I recommend going to Microsoft's website and download the latest drivers, instead of using the disk.

I will not go into to much detail about the controller itself because most of use have been there done that. If you haven't used a 360 remote I will say though I prefer them over the PS3 style remote because it has a better grip(IMO) and the rear trigger buttons are a lot easier to use for pressure sensitive inputs because of the upward curve, compared to the downward curve. An example of where this comes in handy would be for light gas or brake pressure in a racing game. The quality is of course of high standards, this is not a cheaply built remote and you can expect this to last.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THIS REMOTE AND HAVE SOME MORE MONEY TO SPARE, I RECOMMEND FIRST CHECKING OUT Xbox 360 Officially licensed F.P.S. Pro Wired GamePad OR THE Razer Sabertooth Elite Gaming Controller for Xbox 360

**************** OPERATING SYSTEMS COMPATIBILITY TESTING ***************

XBOX 360--
It will work like any other 360 remote, so no worries.

PS3--
Doesn't function by itself, you must purchase an adapter like HDE® Xbox 360 To Playstation PS3 Controller Adapter but there are others on amazon you can purchase.

Windows--
I have only tested this on windows 7, although it should work on xp,vista,7, and 8. On 7 it automatically installed my drivers so there was no need for the packaged driver disk. You will only need it, if you plan on playing with a pc which has no internet. If I get requests in my comments, I have no problem checking its compatibility in xp,vista, and 8.
I tested this on Steam and played a game which was fully controller compatible, borderlands 2. When I launched Steam Big Picture Mode, I was able to navigate through the menu's with the remote, and still use the mouse anytime i wanted to switch. Although I did have a small problem that my inputs weren't registering. Not sure what happened, but once I removed and reinserted the controller usb, everything worked fine. In game all the buttons worked perfectly and no mapping was needed.

Linux(Ubuntu)--
Now that Steam has come to linux, it allowed me to actually take gaming on Linux serious LOL (sorry to people who actually enjoy the other games on linux). When I launched Steam, I clicked Big Picture mode and was surprised to see that it actually now worked. The controller worked without any type of software or driver installation. Big picture mode responded very well to all my inputs and was actually faster than the windows version.The only problem I had was that the buttons weren't mapped correctly, I didn't goto options and see if I could remap them, but there should be the settings to do so, if not it will get fixed automatically.
The game I tested was Team Fortress 2. This game is only partially controller compatible. I was able to navigate the games menu, but some buttons and the right analog stick didn't work. I tried remapping the buttons and still couldn't get it to work. But I know that as time passes and more linux games are released, it will work as it should. For now the important thing is that this microsoft remote will work in linux.

Android--
I put this into my Asus Transformer Prime, which has a docking keyboard with USB, running Android 4.1. I plugged it in while on the home screen and was able to navigate through my icons, through the different screens, and even onto my apps menu. But although you have the ability to do this, its not optimal. It's much easier to use the touch screen because button mapping placement is odd and confusing.
The game I tested was Dead Trigger. Im not sure how much support they put into remotes but in the game menu the remote was worthless, and had to use the touchscreen. But once the game was loaded, I was able to play with the remote fully enabled. I remapped my buttons, and It was amazing. I hated using the onscreen buttons for gaming on my tablet, so I never played. But with a remote it completely changes gaming on an android device.

Best gamepad I've used on a PC

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2013

Style: Wireless ControllerVerified Purchase

I've went through a number of gamepads over the years, dating back to when they connected to the PC via an analogue gameport. I've had pads from the likes of Thrustmaster, Saitek and a few others, most recently using a PS2 controller via a USB Adapter , which was far from ideal.

Over time, the layout of the Xbox 360 controller has become something of a standard for PC games that use a joypad. Many games already include mappings for the controller, and Steam's big picture mode more or less assumes that you're using one. I was looking for a new controller, so with all this in mind I decided to go for the wireless version of the gamepad for windows.

The last time I used an Xbox controller was on the original Xbox with one of the original humongous controllers. I don't have the smallest hands in the world, but that thing made them ache after an hour or so. Not so here; the controller is a nice size, the analogue sticks are positioned well in range of my thumbs, and the overall balance of the gamepad feels good. It also doesn't resort to any of that nasty grippy rubber paint that was all the rage not that long ago. That stuff doesn't last in a tropical climate, tuning into a sticky, messy goop that then has to be removed.

As others have mentioned, the Windows version of the pad uses AA batteries. Myself, I see this as a bonus. Instead of relying on a LiPo pack that may or may not survive more than a year's worth of use (I've heard really bad things about the kit that adds a Lithium battery to the controller) NiMh rechargeable AA's tend to be quite robust, and they're dirt cheap. If they were ever to die, replacements these days are about $1.50 apiece. Ever since low self-discharge cells became the norm, having them go flat by themselves is no longer an issue. Thank you Sanyo for your Eneloops and Amazon for your Amazon Basics AA's; I have a pile of both types at home.

The integration of the gamepad into Steam's big picture interface is impressive. Having it mapped to the Xbox 360 controller layout was a smart move on Valve's part as they were able to concentrate on the on-screen prompts being consistent, etc. It makes me wonder how SteamOS will be once it launches.

Software-wise, the gamepad ships with next to nothing. A driver CD is supplied, which installs drivers and little else. This is the source of the controller's greatest failing; unless you're playing a Games for Windows Live game (hereby referred to as GfWL), there is no way supplied to turn the controller off once you're done. It supposedly turns itself off after a short period of inactivity, but I've heard that can be unreliable (I'm testing this at the moment, and it's yet to turn itself off since I started writing this review). Many resort to disconnecting the batteries once they're done to turn the controller off, which is a workable (if clunky) solution.

If this were what we were stuck with, I'd have docked a star, perhaps 2 for this alone. It doesn't detract from the gamepad while in use, but it's an annoyance that seems doubly odd given a mechanism exists to explicitly turn the gamepad off from software, but that software isn't provided with the gamepad to cover all eventualities. Only the abomination that is GfWL gets that level of control.

Thankfully, the community at large had a bit of a poke about, and the "Xbox360 Controller Manager" was born. This is a little tool that sits quietly in your system tray and responds to a long press of the guide button (the silver button in the middle) with a prompt to turn that controller off. The tool itself takes single-digits of MB of memory, which is background noise in this day and age.

For those of you that haven't already discovered this essential little piece of software, you can get it here:

http://pety.me/XboxExt/

Save it wherever, add a shortcut in your "Startup" start menu folder, and then forget about it. Using it will become second nature, and you'll forget that it's a 3rd-party application. Honestly, this utility removes the one problem I had with the gamepad, and does it so effectively that I can't help but wonder why Microsoft didn't ship it with something similar.

Overall, I highly recommend this. The biggest niggle I had with it was solved by its users, and if you're looking for a wireless controller for Windows, there really isn't any reason not to get one.

P.S. I'm done with this review, and the controller still hasn't turned itself off. Thankfully, there's an app for that...

Two products

Reviewed in Canada on March 16, 2016

Style: Wired ControllerVerified Purchase

Apparently Amazon only allows you to have one review per page even though there are 2 completely different products here. First, my original review of the 360 controller:

=== XBOX 360 ===

Good:
- Super easy to use (plug and play, literally)
- No need for calibration like a joystick (but I did anyway, and that was also easy)
- This is the big one that would have earned it 5: Works everywhere really well! Easy to assign controls in games. I even plugged it into my shield tablet with an OTG cable and with zero setup it just worked perfectly in every game I tried. I never would have expected that!

Overall just a good unit, except for one thing: the D-Pad! It's absolutely terrible! Like, unimaginably bad! So far all the reviews I saw really understate this. Basically unusable for any kind of "action" use like a platformer, etc. Maybe if you just hit the occasional direction now and then and getting the right rough area +/- 90° is OK with you then it's fine, but oh my god it is bad! There are 2 things that kept this 4 star rating from being lower as a result of this flaw: 1, how well it just works everywhere, and 2, I haven't found anything that really uses the D-Pad much if at all yet so it probably won't be a big deal for most of the things I play, but still! I'll basically have to buy another controller of some kind if I ever want to use a D-pad.

=== XBOX ONE ===

And now my new review.

I'll start with what I experienced the instant I picked it up. It went something like this: "OMG holy *** this feels incredible!" It makes a very good first impression that is not tarnished by more thorough evaluation or closer inspection. Everything from the analog sticks to the squeezy triggers, to the finish of it feels super premium; it really makes the 360 controller feel like a toy! All of these inputs work equally well, if not better than before. They feel very smooth, yet soft and easy to move, while still returning to the proper position perfectly. No noise or squeaking at all.

The overall feel of the controller in hand is also improved. Something about the shape is just very nice.

Perhaps the best part is the D-pad! As you may know, the original 360 d-pad was an atrocity unmatched in the modern era. I'm very glad to say that the xbone d-pad bares absolutely no resemblance to the original at all. It is tight, only moved when and in ways that it should, is clicky, and overall just works the way I would want and expect. You can easily point in the direction you want, and only the direction you want, and you can feel that it is happening. You can also easily point at 45s between straight up/down/left/right, and again, can feel when this happens, and only happens when you want it to.

My only complaints are:
- The 2 little "function" buttons ("start" and "select" if you will) are mushy and sometimes hard to make register a hit
- Supposedly, this controller only works with Windows at the time of writing, and while to be honest I have not tested this claim, if that is true, that is a step backward from the 360 which would just work perfectly with everything.

The controller itself works, but left joystick sticks after only a few months of use

Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2021

Style: Wireless ControllerVerified Purchase

I've purchased two of these controllers in the past years. Unfortunately, I must give it 3/5 (1 star lost for both times) due to both controllers causing me months/years of grief.

Pros
-Shipped quickly, packaged neatly
-The controller itself responds correctly; no issues gaming (other than the one mentioned)

Cons:
-Left joystick sticks a lot while playing, thus making my characters (in-game) slide unless I manually fix it by pulling it up, to unstick. Frustrating.

To elaborate, my first controller starting sticking after the first 6 months of use. I endured this for months longer, until deciding to buy another one, thinking mine might be defective. New one comes in, this time starts sticking after only 3 months.

I am unsure if I have a heavy thumb or something, but logically moving it Up, Down, Right, Left takes a certain amount of pressure from my thumb. Once the sticking started, the controller doesn't appear to realize that I'm not doing a full pressing motion, just trying to move normally. It starts sticking again if the joystick is too close to the center once my finger puts some pressure on it.

Broken packaging, squeaky triggers, otherwise a reliable controller.

Reviewed in Canada on October 27, 2015

Style: Wired ControllerVerified Purchase

I've been using this for about a month now. I'll give my impressions based on the order that they were formed.

Packaging: (0/5)
The Amazon package arrived sealed and on time; the actual product packaging was broken. There were tears on the box, the box seal stickers were broken - and get this - there was adhesive tape on the box. I have a quick unboxing video to show that I'm not making this up. There's sensitive information in the video, so I won't upload it here (I can provide it to the seller). See the photos for yourself, this was the state that it arrived in. NOT impressed.

Ergonomics: (5/5)
Fortunately, the controller itself seems to work fine. It's what you'd expect from an xbox controller. It feels very light compared to my Shield Controller. Buttons are very clicky, very comfortable layout, and ergonomically shaped for extended hours of play. No complaints here. The thumb stick layout is different from the Shield Controller and Dualshock, but it's very easy to get used to if that's what you're worried about. The wire is not long enough to play games from your couch while your laptop is hooked up with the TV, but that's not a main concern for me.

Setup: (5/5)
It comes with an USB adaptor to plug in to your laptop. Setting up is easy. Step 1: Plug it in. There's no step 2, you're done (for Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7 anyway). You can connect up to 4 controllers, I believe - provided that your game supports multi-controllers of course.

Overall Quality: (3/5)
Not as good as I recall the original xbox controller was. The trigger buttons are VERY squeaky. People living with you might think there's a mouse infestation. It's a fairly noisy product to use, so if you ever want to play it at night without other people knowing, you're out of luck.

This product serves its purpose for the most part, it's a very reliable controller as far as I can see. It's a very good addition for any PC game that supports controllers. I would recommend it if it were on discount, and for the general compatibility and easy of setup.

Fantastic!

Reviewed in Canada on August 18, 2013

Style: Wired ControllerVerified Purchase

I used to be an xbox gamer, but I have switched to PC for the obvious reasons that it's WAY!!!!!! better, but I missed the controller sometimes, mostly the triggers and the thumb sticks which are great for driving games. So I picked up this controller, shipping was fantastic, very quick, and i plugged it in the minute I got it. I have windows 7 HP 64bit and it took about 10 seconds for it to install the drivers automatically upon plug in. I started up GTA IV which I have on steam, and the best thing with this is that in game or even menu, if you press a button on the controller the game automatically switches from keyboard to xbox 360 interface, and if you press a key on the key board it will switch back again! I thought I'd at least have to go in the menu and select xbox 360 controller but nope. Now this does not work with every game, battlefield 3 does not have the abilities to use a controller, but some people have used other software to make it mimic the keyboard keys, but since you can do more with battlefield 3 on PC youd have a hard time with a controller anyways so it didn't really bother me. Some cons I found were only in the product physically, the triggers for me aren't as nice as the original xbox controller, you have to press them down a lot further, and the plastic that is used is just all and all cheaper. I wish it was more like the original, but for the price It doesn't even matter, still a great controller.

It just works!

Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2013

Style: Wireless ControllerVerified Purchase

It just works! I've been seeking for a good PC gaming controller and this controller works right out of the box with recent release of Crystal Dynamic's Tomb Raider reboot game via Steam on my PC. Simply plug in the wireless dongle from the package at the back of your PC USB port and takes matter of seconds to recognize it and install the driver, then press the wireless dongle button to start searching/pair the wireless controller. While the wireless dongle is searching for the packaged wireless controller, simply press the silver X Guide Button on the controller to turn it on and press the small search/pair button next to the charge and play connector port at the top/back of the wireless controller and presto, its paired and you are ready to have some Tomb Raider gaming action in no time! Definitely worth the price of admission. Might get another Xbox 360 wireless controller for Windows later down the road as a back-up unit due to the scarcity of the official stand alone wireless dongle that is no longer in production by Microsoft, except available in this release only. Totally worth every penny spend! :)

To note: If you want to turn off the controller, simply pop out the battery pack at the back of the controller and then it will reset and shut off it self, as well don't forget to unplug the dongle when not in use to expand & give longevity of the wireless dongle usage.
