Remember to put in the batteries!

This wireless controller works remarkably well. The setup is little more than a wired controller--stick in the receiver, make sure the channel on the receiver and the controller are the same...and be sure to put the batteries in the controller. It sits in your hands much as the old Nintendo 8-bit controller used to, but has all of the Xbox controls. Great for anybody that finds the full-size Xbox controllers a bit cumbersome and hand-wearying.

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.

Its awesome to the untrained eye

It's cool. It's fits almost any where. However it's size is recommended for smaller hands usually kids and teens. Besides that it's awesome.

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

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.

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!!!!!!!

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.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STICK WITH MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This controller SUCKS! I bought it at Walmart. I only bought it because I needed to get one because both of my controllers with wires broke. I PUT IN THE RECIEVER AND TURNED ON THE CONTROLLER AND SET THEM BOTH TO THE SAME CHANNELS AND NOTHING HAPPENED! THIS CONTROLLER SUCKS! I hope they have wireless controllers on the Microsoft brand.
