By Pierre-Jean Alzieu (digitalversus.com)

This is the wireless version of the Xbox 360 controller, which uses 2.4 GHz WiFi to communicate with Windows, which means players can sit wherever they like without worrying about the length of the cable. Power is supplied by two AA batteries placed ...

- Wireless, - Ergonomics, - Precision of sticks and triggers, - Good handling controls under your fingertips

- A little heavy at 264 g, - Extra wireless adaptor costs €20, - No customizable profiles

This is without doubt one of the most comfortable pads we tested for this survey. Even better, it performs excellently in almost every type of game. The only downside is that using it wirelessly on your PC will cost you an extra 20 euros for a USB ...

By David Rudden (zdnetindia.com)

The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controller may be the most expensive first-party controller ever, but it's easily the best, too.

The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controller is comfortable and practical, with amazing wireless capability and solid battery life.

Good controller, usually

By cstokes86 (newegg.com)

If you want to turn off the controller w/o taking out the battery pack you can just press the little button ON the battery pack. That disconnects the batteries inside the pack when its pushed. I know it's one step away from actually taking it out, but jus...

Easy & Reliable Controller

By ceze (newegg.com)

Compatible with many PC Games. Still compatible with any xbox360. It's Light, functional, and auto disables itself after non use. If you have an understanding of config mods you might be able to play it on All your games

I had to buy the USB adapter from a local game shop. It turned out to be just as expensive. The xbox 360 headset is so low in volume it's unbearable

Great

By XxZombieXx (newegg.com)

Great for arcade action games like Batman AA, Street Fighter, and Prototype. Still sticking with mouse and keyboard for first pirson shooters.

Played Batman AA on PC and this controller workd great ; When using the controller actions are changed from the keyboard button to the controller automatically ; Easy setup

Non so far
