Controllers Work Fine

Controllers work fine, no problems with buttons. Smaller than expected, but kids feel the size is easier to handle. Maybe a little small for adults. Great to get rid of the wires. Wish we had ordered model supporting vibration, but just wanted something to get by with until we upgrade to 360. Batteries have lasted several months to date, without heavy usage though.

Good Controller

I had this controller for over a year with no problems what so ever. The size is perfect for myself and my 2 kids. The only reason i give it four stars is the at time of puchuces it was only in green and i wanted blue.

Nice product, works well with the Xbox

May not be suitable for people with big hands. Its just fine for us. FYI, you can't hook up a Live Headset to the controller. That can only be done on the receiver end that hooks up to the Xbox.

Failure

Same story here: garbage analog switches. Mine lasted about a month, and it's now unusable. While I should have learned my lesson by now with 3rd party controllers, it was worth a risk for $5 off the Target clearance aisle. Sure the other buttons and the wireless capability are fine, but a controller with a busted analog stick is a complete failure in my opinion.

good

it is good, is small very well... this for my son of 6 years, has a good reach, bateria lasts much, the unico defect to my to understand... is simply that it does not vibrate as the original control of xbox.. removing that detail is very recommendable...

would not recommend this controller

Bad product. The analog stick gets stuck after just 1 month of moderate use of the controller. The money is better spent on getting another wired controller S. Battery lasts LONG though.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We bought these controllers for my daughter's gamecube at first, the kids liked them so much, I bought 2 more. That was 6 months ago. They still work great!!
Then my son got Xbox for his birthday, I bought another madcatz controller wireless for it, he loves it. So I bought another one. They are awesome for little hands (age 6 & 7), and fits mom's hands too. Buy it , you won't regret it!!!!!!!

One big (small) problem

I have the wired Microcon, which has exactly the same layout. It is well suited to my small hands, with one glaring exception--the Start/Pause button is situated immediately to the left of, and very close to, the D-pad. It's not so much an issue for games where the D-pad is used just for switching weapons and the like, but for any games such as fighting games that involve fast action on the D-pad, it is all too easy for your thumb to slip off and hit pause by accident.

a great wireless game pad

The MadCatz wireless controller for xbox works great, is easy to set up and the smaller size vs the standard MS control fits easier in the hand. (Though, maybe that's just because I was used to the Playstation control). Been playing COD Big Red One all week with it since I got it and it rocks

Pleasantly surprised

I purchased this for my son two weeks ago and so far it has held up well. He has gone through two other wired controllers which I didn't like from the start. I'm not sure how long this one will last but so far I like the controller as much as one I purchased for myself at more than twice the price. Nice compact size even for adult hands.

ADDITIONAL:
I've had 4 of these now and my joy over them has gone down significantly. Two have died and of the remaining two, one will stop functioning for many seconds then start working again. Perhaps this is caused by two conrollers attempting to share the same signal, but it doesn't really matter, it's a pain. For the price there's not many other choices, so go ahead and get one but hold on to your reciept.
