Review:
a. great range, fells great in hands. has great battery time. redesign of LB, RB is great for Halo 2, easier to switch. just a great product.
b. Fits absolutely perfectly in my hand. Incredibly good wireless connection. Very good battery life. Headset connection. Can use AA's, rechargeable AA's, or rechargeable battery back. Vibration is nice. Very high quality. Joysticks feel great!
c. Battery life is very short. If you turn off vibration, you actually get the 30-40 hours Microsoft speaks of. Sometimes when putting in new batteries, the controller battery pack doesnt always catch the new batteries inside and acts dead. Shaking the controller a bit usually fixes it. Also, the d pad is very clunky. Sometimes when i press up, the d pad makes me go left or right. This is the same with every other directional pad by microsoft. This wrong direction thing isn't as bad as i make it out to seem.
d. This controller has the best "feel" out of anything that I have used. Wireless works to a very long range, and you can play holding it without cords tangling. Very Comfortable. Has rumble which is a plus.
