 A must-have for XBox 360 Gamers November 26, 2005

If you've got an XBox 360, you really need to get your hand on one or two wireless controllers. These controllers are GREAT for keeping your gaming area free of clutter. To start with, the controller is much smaller than the standard XBox controller was.
For control items, you start with the standard blue X, yellow Y, red B and green A buttons. There are two thumbsticks, one on the upper left and one in the center right. There is also a directional (d-pad) in the lower left.
Next, you have a pair of shoulder buttons at the "top" of the unit, up above the other buttons. You also have a pair of triggers below those shoulder buttons.
Finally, you have a center X button that can be used to turn the console on and off, plus a "start" and "back" tiny white buttons on either side of it.
The unit has a rechargeable battery unit inside it, the size of two AA batteries. You have to buy a recharger set SEPARATELY that lets you charge up while you play. In essence you plug the charger into the back of the controller - and the other end into the USB port in the front of the XBox 360 unit. So you play with the controller "wired" as it charges up. When it's fully charged again, you just pop off the wire and keep playing.
The range of the wireless unit is 30', which is probably much further than anybody is really going to even try playing a game at. The wireless is much easier on your hand - no cable holding you down - plus it's a great help in keeping your gaming area organized. You can easily pass the controller from person to person, and visitors can come and go without tripping over wires.
The documentation says you can get 40 hours of gameplay between charges, but if you have features such as vibration on, that sucks the time down to maybe 8-10 hours. It's up to you of course - I personally like having vibration on because it is often important for gameplay to get those warning signals.
Still, even if I have to plug the cables in every 10 hours or so to give it a juice boost, I still love wireless!! Highly recommended.

Whenever anyone comes over to play, this is perfect. Give him the pink controller, and don't let him forget who's in charge.
A slight improvement. April 30, 2007

Ok, so this is basically just the white controller painted black. To be honest, the white controllers don't look too bad, its the white console that looks terrible. But that is my opinion. On to the facts. The black controller is almost exactly the same, but part of the grip is more "matte" than the white one. The white controller always makes me sweat for some reason because it is too smooth. These look great however. The colors are well matched even though it may not look like it in the pictures. I'd definitely recommend picking these up if you have an elite, or if you have core/premium and you want the black ones so the grime doesn't show as much, I'd highly recommend these.
I'm a male and use this at work December 20, 2007

I'm lucky enough to work at a software company where playing video games during lunch and evenings is widely accepted.
You must be wondering why a heterosexual male software engineer would purchase a "pink" controller for use in a group environment with other heterosexual males.
Reasons:
1) no one else will dare use this controller
2) when I clobber an opponent, it's even more humiliating to them that a pink controller was used
3) I like the shock value
4) chicks dig it (not that many are around, but I'm being proactive)
a must have! you need this one! April 19, 2006

if you have a xbox 360 system you owe it to yourself to pick up a wireless controller..they are very comfortable to hold and have all the functions of the regular controller..and whats very cool about this one is if you get the plug and play charge kit..you can actually play while you charge the battery or just have the controller hooked up after the system is shut off and it trickle charges for optimum performance...this is worth the money..if you have the wired controller trade up ..and go for the best.
