Strengths: Pretty confortable to use even with intense gamming. Good battery life. Great recieption.

Weaknesses: D-pad is a complete nightmare if you have a game that is dependent on it.

Summary: The battery life is great with 2 AA batteries. The recieption was outstanding. I have yet to have any interferance while gamming. It feels really comfortable after hours of intense gamming. Pretty good physical appearance. The D-pad is not really responsive. It's not really accurate while intense gamming, and it gets me mad sometimes.

Strengths: -Wireless-Includes Wireless USB receiver for PC usage-Feels great

Weaknesses: -None

Summary: Great, ergonomically designed controller for both your XBOX 360 and Windows PC. The included wireless receiver connects to your USB port to allow usage with Windows. Although I haven't tried it, I intend to use it to connect a XBOX 360 Wireless Guitar (from Guitar Hero 3 or Rock Band) to my PC for use with other guitar/rhythym games that are available on the PC. I've experienced no problems and it works exactly as advertised. If you've ever used the controlled on the XBOX 360, then you'll be just as happy using it on your PC. If you haven't used on yet, just pop into any of the big box electronic stores and try the wired controllers on the demo boxes for a good comparison.
