Ever since getting the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) when I was 9 years old I've had a bit of a obsession with consoles and gaming. Having gone through a massive list of different machines and accessories over the years (such as the SNES, Megadrive, Mega CD, Neo Geo, Dreamcast, N64, Sega Saturn, PS1, PS2 and more) I've used many different controllers of different shapes and sizes.

...and grey design with coloured buttons, the wireless feature is a priceless addition to gaming. No more people tripping over wires and yanking your console from the stand, no more spending time unraveling knots before packing your console away to take elsewhere, add to that the feature you can turn your 360 on or off just with the press of a button on the controller and we have one of the best pads on the market. It may not be as comfortable as the ... Read review

Advantages: Freedom and flexability, Plug and play, Ergonomic design
Disadvantages: Spend money buying batteries

Hello, Cordless? Well, I'm not generally a fan of wireless controller, because the first rule in the world for a gamer is to never use a WIRELESS MOUSE because you will get a little delay an that will be your end in a first person shooter game.

...download the drivers off the Microsoft site and you can use it in many games, most Games For Windows support this controller straight away even changing the button names in the game so for example it will say "press A to continue" instead of "press enter". Issues The controller does look slightly worse than the wireless pad, the grey band on the bottom of the controller is a shiny silver on the wireless variation and the analogue sticks feel like ...
...buttons is good apart from the D-pad which is dreadful and unresponsive often failing to recognize diagonal presses. This issue remains on all variations of the 360 controller. The pad is also marketed in two ways which is confusing and unnecessary, firstly as the Xbox 360 Wired Controller and as the Common Controller.
