Yes it's cheap, but it's too big for anyone but those with giant hands. It also occasionally hiccups, causing the Xbox to generate an error message. This was observed in both Halo and DOA3. Pressing the "start" button on the controller resets the error. This controller is a complete waste of $... bucks. Move along.

TRASH!!

This controller is a huge waste of money. I am dissapointed Interact would allow this to happen. The buttons don't work, it moves by itself (in the game Halo), and I get an error message when its plugged in. Please send the extra money and get an official one!

Controller doesn't work right

I got this controller and am very dissapointed with it since it simply doesn't work correctly. The buttons require too much force to push down making it very unresponsive, the force feedback doesn't feel quite right, and it sometimes just says that the controller is disconnected. Don't buy this, spend the extra few dollars for the actual Microsoft one, it works much much better.

This pad [stinks]. It just plain out [stinks]. the pad doesnt fit your hand right, it's huge. Also the buttons [stink] too, half the time you press them they dont work. Stick to the original xbox controller its ur best bet, I've tried every controller out and its the best!

I had a friend buy me this cheaper XBox controller so that I had more than two controllers to play multiplayer. The only reason why this deserves the one star it has is because it's a joke trying to decide who gets to use this awful piece of poo. The controller is slightly bigger than the original controller with the grips turned more inside, providing for an even odder grip. The buttons stick and are very unresponsive. Spend the extra money and buy the original or the S.

Go with Microsofts

it is what it is:cheap. microsofts may be (dollar amount) dolars more, but it works better. If you have smaller hands, and the normal one is two big, than buy it. Otherwise, stick with microsoft's.

I have used 3 separate Powerpads, and all 3 have the buttons stick.

Sigh...

I used this poor excuse of a controller at EB. It's so fat and very uncomfortable. Once I used it I ran as fast as I can to the restroom to wash my hands. Stick with Sony kids =). Trust me.

I bought this controller because $... is a lot for a controller, but it was not worth it and I am going to just go out and end up buying a Microsoft controller anyway. I have to hit the buttons REALLY hard to get them to work. If you spent $... on the Xbox, just spend a bit more for a controller to make the Xbox playable. It's worth it in the long run.

bad controller

This controller is a cheap imitation of the official Microsoft controller. The joysticks are less accurate and you need to press the buttons HARD or else they don't work. My recommendation to you would be to spend the extra few bucks to buy the Microsoft controller instead.
