Only loses connection when the battery is dying and you can get a nice charger set. Sometimes, I accidentally disconnect the battery pack because of where the button is. It's the nicest controller I've used.

the only time i lost connection is when i either turn off my 360 or the battery is dead. but overall this is the best controller i've used that is wireless. the connection is great , never cutting you off. also it feel good in your hands too. it's better than that gay sixas controller lol.

It's an excellent controller; it's only downfall is the d-pad.

Never for me does it lag at all, cuts out only with a dead battery.

its so much better than bluetooth with bluetooth you get an intermittent signal when the batteries run low but with the system the 360 controller uses this never happens, you never need to reconnect the controller with the 360 infact the controller is never physicaly connected to the console at all (unless you use the play and charge kit but you dont have to), and you will never experience lag with it either.

The 360 controller really is wireless and the best

Oh yeah, I forgot about the D pad. The D pad is poor. Bad response. Other than that, it's great. I don't know if D pads on wired controllers are any better.

I have had no problems with the controller.  It works as it should, however the longer I have had it the less battery life it seems to have.

I agree. Best controller I have ever used! The d-pad works flawlessly so I'm not feeling you there and the rest of the controller works to perfection! Hands down, best controller ever.

you don't need one if you have a wired controller and if you want another one you should just get wired, because you never have to worry about batteries, it's 10 bucks cheaper, and doesn't require a 20 dollar play and charge kit.

i love this controller. i have been a ps and ps2 player for a long time and thought that the dual shock controller was the best. but after playing the 360 for so long, i have fallen in love. the controller is really nice as well as the wireless.

I was a PSer too, so I agree. Battery life is also excellent, but I use rechargeable batteries anyway cuz I'm too lazy to go out and buy them. I won't say the 360's wireless controller is better than the PS Dual-Shock (both are great and have their own positives) but it's definitely equal to it performance-wise.

the D-pad is the only default to the controller, other than that the controller is pretty good.

The 360 controller contours to your hand better than any controller I've ever used (thus, preventing hand cramps and enabling a comfortable playing experience).  All of the buttons/triggers are in the perfect places.  However, as stated above, the D-Pad is absolutely HORRIBLE.  Anybody that says the D-Pad is OK has never tried playing UMK3 of SF2.  If I could put PS's D-Pad on the 360 controller, we'd have an absolute winner.

 The only other problem I have with the controller is the enormous battery pack.  I wish the controller had a battery setup like the sixaxis (small and light).

However, the D-Pad is a minor gripe, considering how the controller does everything else correctly.  In terms of ergonomics, it's wonderful.

its awsome i love it. on the original xbox u could buy wireless controllers but they were hell hard to connect. With the xbox 360 wireless controller all u need to do is connect it to the console (u just need 2 press a few buttons) and hey presto all u need to do to turn the controller AND the console on and off is hold the big glowing button in the middle of the controller. it is also like the perfect shape and weight to hold for ages. awsome controller.

Its a good controller, except you never know when the lithium pack is goin to die. It flashes so you think its dead, but it dies 3 hours later.
