Good substitute if you don't want to pay Microsoft prices

July 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a good substitute for a replacement remote. We have a 6 yr old and a 12 yr old and they are rough on things. Our two official wireless xbox remotes broke and I was not willing to spend $40+ to replace them. We took a risk with these remotes since some of the reviews are bad.... we have had them now for more than a month and the boys use them daily and my husband uses them occasionally and they have been working perfectly. Hopefully these last a while.

Nov 13 2015:
I just thought I would update my review to let anyone who is considering buying this product know that they do last and they are worth the money. These remotes are still going strong 4 months later. All the buttons on it are still functioning despite my rough boys using them almost daily. I will update my review in a few months to see if it is still working but I am still happy with this purchase.

Great "slightly improved" standard controller!

November 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought my first XBox 360 from a friend, acquiring with it three used controllers with fried battery packs and a play-and-charge cord which stop charging if flexed, due to an internal break (and then caused the controller to disconnect, due to the dead battery packs...annoying). When I passed these items on to another friend and bought a new slim 360, I needed a play-and-charge kit and thus purchased this silver controller mostly to acquire the charging cord.

When I saw the controller, however, I was pleasantly surprised with its aesthetics, and have not since used the standard black one at all.

Since I had been using worn-out controllers, this new one made a big difference in feel. All the buttons worked properly but most importantly the analog sticks were no longer damaged. Of course, this was to be expected with any NEW product.

More significant are the two major changes to the controller, those being color and the D-pad. I'm sure many people, like myself, consider color to be seriously low on the list of important controller attributes, but this silver controller is undeniably attractive. Although the pictures represent it pretty well, I expected the silver color to be like most silver plastic...tacky and fake-looking. Consequently, I was quite impressed with the quality of the finish, both of the silver controller body and the chrome D-pad and guide buttons. I was equally impressed by the "monochrome" A/B/X/Y buttons. I had overlooked this detail in the photos because after all, I know what a 360 controller looks like and didn't study the pictures too much. The buttons are colored in differing shades of gray as though the color controller had been photographed in black and white. I thought this was a nice touch. The front plate of the controller (where the headset/chatpad jack is located) is finished in glossy black like the new standard black controller.

The adjustable D-pad is the other new feature. The standard 360 controller features an 8-way D-pad with a slightly raised cross pattern to allow easier access to the Up, Down, Right, and Left directions which are by far more commonly used than the diagonals (which seem to be limited to martial arts games, as far as I understand...I have never played a game which used them). Unfortunately, this "easier access" really did not work that well. I cannot count how often I have turned on night vision in Call of Duty while attempting to pull out a Claymore, or how violently I have had to mash the button to get the pop-up "Telemetry" display to go away in Forza Motorsport.

The new controller instead features a D-pad which, when rotated 90 degrees one way or the other, locks the cross portion into a "raised" or "lowered" position. The lowered position is basically the same as the old controller, while the raised position greatly accentuates the L/R/U/D directions.

While this is a nice attempt to correct the complaints about the D-pad, it unfortunately falls a little short of functional, and still behaves mostly like the standard design. The Playstation controller is much better in this regard because there are four separate buttons, but unfortunately this prevents the use of diagonals, unless two buttons were pressed simultaneously (which, by my analysis of the circuit board inside the 360 controller, is actually how the XBox design works). However, D-pad aside, I greatly prefer the ergonomics of the 360 controller to those of the PS2 and PS3.

The play and charge portion of this kit (and the main reason I purchased it) is also as good as ever. The cord is more than long enough for me and probably most people, and doesn't get in the way of playing. Although I keep the cord plugged in at all times while playing, rather than wasting batteries, I keep the battery pack installed because it is awkward to hold the controller without it, in my opinion. Unfortunately, this is probably causing short-cycle damage to the battery, and it would likely be safer if I installed an empty AA battery holder in its place.

Overall, I couldn't be much happier with this controller. The D-pad, while improved, could still use some tweaking, but the new color scheme, the tried-and-true ergonomics, and the money-saving play and charge kit are all excellent. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is purchasing a new XBox 360 and doesn't have a charging cord, or who wants to replace their worn-out controller with something a little different and "jazzed up."

Great "Bundle" Pricing!

December 20, 2011

I brought this controller for:

1) The color - the xbox comes with a black controller and I thought having another color would be a good way have a "mine" and "yours". The color is true to the pictures. It looks like it might be slippery, but it is not. You'll be able to grip it perfectly. The a, b, x, y letters are hard to see through the buttons, but frequent use will make that irrelevant. (I already remember which is the "B" button!) If you're own previous versions, the letters are in the same place. ^.^

2) The "Play & Charge Kit" - I love the rechargable battery. (Go green!) However, the controller must be charged by your xbox. So, your controller must be plugged into your system and the system must be on. I constantly forget to connect the controller so that it can charge when I'm using the other one. So, when company comes the controller is often dead and since they have to literally "Play and Charger", the controller loses the ability to be wireless for a time. I do wish I had the ability to plug the charger into a wall socket for times like those. At least we would not have to be right next to the system while it is charging. (The cord is not very long) You are able to instert two Double AA batteries into the non-rechargable battery case that is included, though. This way, it is still wireless, but now, the rechargable battery can not re-charge. (You are unable to recharger the battery when it is not inserted into the controller.)

One feature I love is that when the xbox is turned off, the controllers automatically turn off as well. This feature saves me the trouble of having to remember to turn off each remote and further drain the battery. The remotes also turn themselves off after a period of inactivity whether or not your system is on. (Great when you're playing Kinect games and not using them.)

All in all, this is a great buy if you want to add some color to your controller selection and not have to pay for the "Play and Charge Kit" separately. (Currently $15.09) And since some wireless controllers are $50 on their own, the controller and Charge Kit is a great buy for $50 together.
