Great price and great product, my Grandson says it is wonderful, one of the best he has had.
But menu navigating can be irritating if you use the d-pad. But the layout makes for great shooters,and great racing titles. The controller is comfortable to use and feels nice in your hands, not slippery, and not gritty either, it will stay in your hands no matter what game you're playing, even if you're sweating like crazy. if it splits, the controller will stop functioning well, a shake or jerk will turn it off and you'll have to turn it back on. You can glue it back, but will take the chance of ruining it if you're not careful. What i mean is the controller needs to recieve a command within 10-15 minutes or it will shut off, that can be problematic while waiting for an event to pop up in some games or viewing replays and the like.
You can't leave it sit. As much as it costs, the play and charge kit, in my opinion should be included. I'd love to give this five stars, but i can't. On an even better note, it's quite a durable piece of equipment, i've dropped mine countless times, but here's the downfall. just jiggle the stick every once and a while to keep it from turning off when you need it on and are watching something. The battery life though is great with batteries lasting as long as 20 to 30 hours sometimes.
Unfortunately there is one more issue with this controller. The console will freeze up and exclaim the controller is missing and must be restarted before continuing. It also makes fighters sluggish and problematic. One more problem is that the controller has a very weak d-pad, it's not sensitive to be of any use in a game, it seems to lag and will often seem to ignore quick subsequent commands. the battery case is weak. Seeing as though you tend to use the joystick now more than the d-pad its not a problem so much.
its a great controller, but i'd recommend the wired one, if you need more space than the cord can give then this is a good option.
This is one of the best controller i ever used. I would say it's as good or close to my all time favorite, dreamCast controller.
