Perhaps the greatest controller ever

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2023

Style: Wired ControllerVerified Purchase

I love this controller the only major complaint is the dpad isn't great but it is usable. After all these years it is still my favorite controller design. unfortunately, after so many years of use one of the bumpers is starting to go out and I will probably have to use a different one.

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...

Style: Wireless ControllerVerified Purchase

Had bought these so that we're not tied to cords as we have a large living room. Nothing really to say but that it works as intended, zero issues. Buttons are fast and precise and pairing is quick. We use amazon rechargeable batteries so we don't have to worry about if there are new batteries in the drawer.

This pairs quickly without issues. Makes things safer in the living room when the kids are playing as the cords are not all over the carpet.

Recommend to anyone as Microsoft has quality products.

Original controller for those that are wondering. Lowest price on Amazon. Delivered within 2 days, standard packaging.

Now, the controller itself is pretty good. The thumbsticks were a little stiff, especially to me since I've used a PS3 controller for the longest time.

Solid purchase, original controller, good packaging. 10/10

The controller I got was genuine. I checked with an actual xbox controller and it was exactly the same. The price might seem a little higher but that's what you pay for a genuine product. You can go ahead and buy this. Feels comfortable and sturdy. I got the controller from a seller called "SAMEO" btw.
