    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Robust, Comfy, Cheaper

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Wires can tangle, you can only have 2 wired controllers in use at one time

    "Based on the acclaimed design of the Xbox Controller S, the Xbox 360 Controller features an extended nine-foot cable and an improved ergonomic design. The centralized, glowing Xbox Guide Button grants you quick access to your digital movie, music, and games libraries. The ultimate in gamer flexibility, precision, control, quality, and comfort are all yours." With an RRP of 24.99 the Official Xbox 360 Wired Controller is a cheaper alternative to the popular wireless gamepad. I found my wireless controller for 17.99 which is a bargain considering there are no extra costs for batteries and/or ... more

    5 Stars The most natural feeling but not very durable 09/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Feels very natural, very stylish, good price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The wire is quite weak

    Let me get one thing straight before I start i prefer the Wireless Pad in all honesty, but i usually buy these to save money on Batterys and battery packs etc. I have two of these and one black wireless controller, and i by far think that the official xbox 360 controller is the best feeling controller there is, it feels the most natural, it looks the best, easy to use it goes on. Its an award winning pad and i think its far better than the Ps3 , Wii, and other consoles Pads. Im sure alot of other console fans will agree with that. To begin I think the controller looks very stylish and goes ... more

    4 Stars XBox 360 Controller 17/08/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, looks and feels great

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not wireless

    The 360 controller is a big step forward for the XBox team; if you owned an original XBox you'll know how large and awkward XBox controllers used to be, with the size and shape making it hard for even grown adults to use. The 360 controllers are now much more lightweight, its shape means it fits well to your hands and space is used more efficiently. What's more, additional buttons have been added above the left and right triggers, meaning the controller is now a very close design to Playstation controllers, making the 360 controller much more familiar. The 360 controller is extremely easy to ... more

    Advantages Advantages Xbox 360 and Windows Compatible

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No Wireless

    If like me you own a xbox 360 and a PC and tend to do a bit of gaming on each then this is definitely an essential. The xbox official controller gives you a very comfortable gaming experience with all the relevant buttons needed for gaming on the xbox but also being that is USB compatible it can be plugged into your windows xp computer. The software drivers to make it work on the pc are available from microsofts website to download. Once done you can program the buttons on the controller to interact with your favourite pc games. Its also a great choice as a 3rd or 4th xbox controller when you ... more

    5 Stars Must-have game controller 15/04/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Durable, Reliable, Ergonomic, Easy PC support

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Wonky D-pad

    The Xbox 360 gamepad is my go-to controller for Xbox and PC gaming. Using it for PC is really easy. I've used it on Linux and Windows and it worked perfectly right away. Xbox is a no-brainer. The D-pad is a little unresponsive, but everything else works great. It's incredibly reliable and perfectly designed. I've never used a more comfortable controller. Even the weight of the controller is perfect. Some third party controllers are really lightweight and cheap, but I found the manufacturing to be impeccable. The only time I've had a 360 controller break was when it landed bumpers down onto a ... more

    4 Stars Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wired Controller 19/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No batteries.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Restricted by the wire.

    Like most, I started off my Xbox life with a wireless controller. After a few days the batteries had died and I was already frustrated. The batteries were coming and going thick and fast and I knew I had to do something. In the end I decided on a wired controller over a play and charge kit for a few reason. Pros of a wired controller: You will never have to worry about batteries again. You can use it with your PC to play Games For Windows Live games. The wire is long enough to reach far enough for most people. Got a safety feature so you don't pull your Xbox over if you knock the lead. Cons of ... more

    Advantages Advantages Allows Endless Gameplay

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Wired Controller

    Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wired Controller This Official Xbox 360 Wired controller is a great product to have if you like to play against your friends or family at home. The only big disadvantage about this controller is that it is wired. To plug this controller in to your Xbox 360 console you plug it into the USB port on the right hand side of the console. One great advantage about this controller being wired is that it doesn't run out of power. This is a great advantage for the people who like to play for long periods of time.

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Price, Easy Drivers, Most Game Support

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not Wireless, but has a long cable.

    I was looking for a pc compatible controller, and knowing my previous experience with the ps3 controller I decided to look for something, that had better driver and game support. Than I found this controller. Its a Microsoft controller, which makes it automatically compatible with just about every pc games, since its Microsoft Windows. So I got the controller, and installing drivers was, as easy as going to the Microsoft website, downloading the provided drivers, for the controller and installing them. After that I could play just about every single game, without any further hazzla or ... more

    4 Stars Microsoft Xbox 360 Wired 17/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Robust, Good All Rounder

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lacking Many Features of 3rd Party Controllers.

    Hi there guys. Just to introduce myself I am/was a serious gamer and have pleanty of experience with a variety of controllers. If you want a good all round controller for no specific game then the 360 wired controller is the one to go for. Most pro gamers will use a wired over a wireless any day as the wireless has a slight delay (You probably won't notice it but it is there) and for games like Forza that is all important and may give you that little edge you are looking for. I've had a number of wired & wireless controllers over the past couple of years and they all still work to a degree ... more
