This product is possibly the only reliable thing to come from the Xbox 360. If your anything like me, you dont trust wireless connections in the slightest (anyone with a wireless router and a mobile phone should know what I mean) but this little beauty is truely an amazing piece of kit. Not only have I never had a problem with the signal on this device, the responsiveness is second to none. A similar to design to original xbox controller S-type, it fits hands of all shapes and sizes perfectly, allowing for gaming sessions reaching into the early hours! Perhaps one of the greatest advantages to this wireless controller is the freedom you, the gamer, is allowed to take advantage of for the first time ever. You can leap out of your seat with frustration as your headshot from 10miles away on xbox live, or carry on button bashing while you make a cup of tea, all safe in the knowledge you wont be pulling your console down to the floor.

As I said I was hugely sceptical about this item prior to use, but I recommend all 360 users invest in a wireless control, you wont regret it!
