I saw this, how are these? Anyone know? I am cheap as hell. I bought a wii hong kong produced one and it works just like a real one, except the speaker is worse and is quite a lot lighter.

No idea, but I`d be curious to know too. I already have a wireless dongle for my main PC but a wired controller for my laptop would be nice. Only problem is there are never any sales on the official wired controllers, and that`s if you can find them in the first place. One of these might be an interesting alternative.

I've recently purchased a XBOX 360 controller from ebay for 30$. Took 3 weeks to get it, and when i finally did get it the controller LB RB were broke, took it apart to see if i could fix it turned out both sensors were shot. sent it back and never received a new controller... last time i take my controller needs to ebay.

My review:Feels almost identical to a real 360 controller The bottom contorller in the pictures is my heavily beat up wireless controller, like the 360 button has been ripped off because it got bent. I should note that I never treat my controllers like this, I lent it, and had to clean it up when I got it back... don't lend controllers. Anyway about the ebay one(top) the side buttons(not triggers) are very clicky, more clicky than the real 360 controller ones, this is actually better. The triggers have more give, so it does not fight back as much. This is personal preference, idc it won't make any difference to me. The buttons feel almost identical, no real difference, maybe a bit more clicky. The dpad i'd say is better. The thumbsticks feel about the same, maybe a bit more give, but feel firm, it feels good. You can't really tell. Overall I'd recommend em and for only 16$? Go for it. Works on my 360 elite, np.

most likely the guy built Chinese knock offs from china now selling in u.s. IDK all that stuff comes from Chinese sellers when they sell in bulk like that. A they are knock offs or B they are defective from Microsoft and bought by Chinese to sell on ebay. NOT kidding. I have heard people buying controllers like that where the casing was matching the other side. one of the rumbles wasn't work. ect

I don't buy controllers. i give mine back to walmart in a speical way...

I have to write back, the anlogues are not fantastic. They are sensitive near the end, but in the middleish they are not very sensitive, not too brilliant for fps. They have a dead zone, ;'( perfect controller so close yet so far. Good for not fps, fine for racing though and everything else.

Though I must say it's not bad, it's like a bit noticible, but you can still certainly play Halo and do very well. It's not a deal breaker, but I wouldn't want to use it too much as my main controller for a fps, but I do like it better for other stuff because of the clickier buttons.

For only $16 you should give them a try, they don't look any different. I've just sold 4 old controllers on ebay. I bought new thumb grips for £2 a pair(because they were worn) and got £20 each for them on ebay, not bad.
