Over time, the layout of the Xbox 360 controller has become something of a standard for PC games that use a joypad. Many games already include mappings for the controller, and Steam's big picture mode more or less assumes that you're using one. I was looking for a new controller, so with all this in mind I decided to go for the wireless version of the gamepad for windows.
The last time I used an Xbox controller was on the original Xbox with one of the original humongous controllers. I don't have the smallest hands in the world, but that thing made them ache after an hour or so. Not so here; the controller is a nice size, the analogue sticks are positioned well in range of my thumbs, and the overall balance of the gamepad feels good. It also doesn't resort to any of that nasty grippy rubber paint that was all the rage not that long ago. That stuff doesn't last in a tropical climate, tuning into a sticky, messy goop that then has to be removed.
As others have mentioned, the Windows version of the pad uses AA batteries. Myself, I see this as a bonus. Instead of relying on a LiPo pack that may or may not survive more than a year's worth of use (I've heard really bad things about the kit that adds a Lithium battery to the controller) NiMh rechargeable AA's tend to be quite robust, and they're dirt cheap. If they were ever to die, replacements these days are about $1.50 apiece. Ever since low self-discharge cells became the norm, having them go flat by themselves is no longer an issue. Thank you Sanyo for your Eneloops and Amazon for your Amazon Basics AA's; I have a pile of both types at home.
The integration of the gamepad into Steam's big picture interface is impressive. Having it mapped to the Xbox 360 controller layout was a smart move on Valve's part as they were able to concentrate on the on-screen prompts being consistent, etc. It makes me wonder how SteamOS will be once it launches.
Software-wise, the gamepad ships with next to nothing. A driver CD is supplied, which installs drivers and little else. This is the source of the controller's greatest failing; unless you're playing a Games for Windows Live game (hereby referred to as GfWL), there is no way supplied to turn the controller off once you're done. It supposedly turns itself off after a short period of inactivity, but I've heard that can be unreliable (I'm testing this at the moment, and it's yet to turn itself off since I started writing this review). Many resort to disconnecting the batteries once they're done to turn the controller off, which is a workable (if clunky) solution.
If this were what we were stuck with, I'd have docked a star, perhaps 2 for this alone. It doesn't detract from the gamepad while in use, but it's an annoyance that seems doubly odd given a mechanism exists to explicitly turn the gamepad off from software, but that software isn't provided with the gamepad to cover all eventualities. Only the abomination that is GfWL gets that level of control.
Thankfully, the community at large had a bit of a poke about, and the "Xbox360 Controller Manager" was born. This is a little tool that sits quietly in your system tray and responds to a long press of the guide button (the silver button in the middle) with a prompt to turn that controller off. The tool itself takes single-digits of MB of memory, which is background noise in this day and age.
For those of you that haven't already discovered this essential little piece of software, you can get it here:
http://pety.me/XboxExt/
Save it wherever, add a shortcut in your "Startup" start menu folder, and then forget about it. Using it will become second nature, and you'll forget that it's a 3rd-party application. Honestly, this utility removes the one problem I had with the gamepad, and does it so effectively that I can't help but wonder why Microsoft didn't ship it with something similar.
Overall, I highly recommend this. The biggest niggle I had with it was solved by its users, and if you're looking for a wireless controller for Windows, there really isn't any reason not to get one.
P.S. I'm done with this review, and the controller still hasn't turned itself off. Thankfully, there's an app for that...
The controller's cable is pretty long so you could easily game across the bedroom with it, but it's a bit short for console usage.
It has nice response and the vibration feedback is nice! This controller works with almost every game in my Steam library (I mostly play first person shooters and racing sims) and if you're a fan of the console controller, this is a wise purchase to make as a PC gamer.
You can pick this up around $30, so it's fairly cheap in terms of the hours of fun you'll get with it. It's very durable, i've owned Xbox controllers for almost four years without anything happening to them, but I take good care of my possessions. This controller would make a great stocking stuffer for your teen kids, or for somebody who enjoys PC gaming, as well as technology.
I'm not really saying anything new here, but I'm really glad that I got this, as it brings a new light to PC gaming. The comfort, ease of use, and feature-rich experience it brings to PC gaming speaks for itself, and it's really like playing the games for the first time again. There's no learning curve to using this or installing it, just make sure you install the software drivers included on the CD in the box, and you're ready to go!

=== XBOX 360 ===
Good:
- Super easy to use (plug and play, literally)
- No need for calibration like a joystick (but I did anyway, and that was also easy)
- This is the big one that would have earned it 5: Works everywhere really well! Easy to assign controls in games. I even plugged it into my shield tablet with an OTG cable and with zero setup it just worked perfectly in every game I tried. I never would have expected that!
Overall just a good unit, except for one thing: the D-Pad! It's absolutely terrible! Like, unimaginably bad! So far all the reviews I saw really understate this. Basically unusable for any kind of "action" use like a platformer, etc. Maybe if you just hit the occasional direction now and then and getting the right rough area +/- 90° is OK with you then it's fine, but oh my god it is bad! There are 2 things that kept this 4 star rating from being lower as a result of this flaw: 1, how well it just works everywhere, and 2, I haven't found anything that really uses the D-Pad much if at all yet so it probably won't be a big deal for most of the things I play, but still! I'll basically have to buy another controller of some kind if I ever want to use a D-pad.
=== XBOX ONE ===
And now my new review.
I'll start with what I experienced the instant I picked it up. It went something like this: "OMG holy *** this feels incredible!" It makes a very good first impression that is not tarnished by more thorough evaluation or closer inspection. Everything from the analog sticks to the squeezy triggers, to the finish of it feels super premium; it really makes the 360 controller feel like a toy! All of these inputs work equally well, if not better than before. They feel very smooth, yet soft and easy to move, while still returning to the proper position perfectly. No noise or squeaking at all.
The overall feel of the controller in hand is also improved. Something about the shape is just very nice.
Perhaps the best part is the D-pad! As you may know, the original 360 d-pad was an atrocity unmatched in the modern era. I'm very glad to say that the xbone d-pad bares absolutely no resemblance to the original at all. It is tight, only moved when and in ways that it should, is clicky, and overall just works the way I would want and expect. You can easily point in the direction you want, and only the direction you want, and you can feel that it is happening. You can also easily point at 45s between straight up/down/left/right, and again, can feel when this happens, and only happens when you want it to.
My only complaints are:
- The 2 little "function" buttons ("start" and "select" if you will) are mushy and sometimes hard to make register a hit
- Supposedly, this controller only works with Windows at the time of writing, and while to be honest I have not tested this claim, if that is true, that is a step backward from the 360 which would just work perfectly with everything.
No podría estar más felíz con mi compra, el producto llegó en el plazo estimado de entrega mediante el envío gratis (por compra de $600 o más), llegó dentro de su caja completamente sellada (la cual venía dentro de la caja de Amazon a su vez) con su manual y disco de instalación para Windows, no fue requerido el uso en mi caso de este último, únicamente conecté el control a uno de los puertos USB de mi computadora y comencé a jugar.
El diseño de esta versión (en comparación con la versión inalámbrica) me agradó más, ya que al no tener que utilizar baterías se ahorra el espacio otorgado a estas en la parte posterior del control, lo cual, en mi opinión, logra una mejor apariencia estética así como una mayor comodidad de uso.
Otro aspecto que me agradó del producto es el largo del cable, el cual, si no me equivoco es de 3 mts. lo que a mi parecer es más que suficiente para la mayoría de las situaciones potenciales de uso. El control cuenta también con un 'mecanismo de liberación' como se le refiere en el manual de uso, el cual tiene como fin evitar una posible caída de la consola o PC a la cual se encuentre conectado el control en caso de un jalón de fuerza desmedida.
TLDR: Excelente producto, gran precio y la entrega sin ningún percance.
