(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Please note that the controller I'm about to review is wired. And please also bare with me about quality of the following images as it was taken from an 4th generation iPod Touch that has a .7 rear megapixel camera, with no autofocus... etc.

Guys I've been using this controller for a while now and overall I just had to tell you guys.

Story:
So I went to the mall to meet up with some friends. Before meeting them I went to the Microsoft Store a moment and asked for the section of the Xbox 360 controllers and stuff. I specifically asked them about the USB Cable one since I wanted one to play some PC games (Don't worry PC gamers I know how to use the keyboard and mouse xD) and they showed me this controller. At first I was like ohh God not one of these fakes and totally ignored it at first. But then after a while something caught my eye... It said it was Officially Licensed by Microsoft. And I immediately knew this was the controller for me but anyways I made some research to see if I could use it at the computer. (Turns out that yes I could and I'm currently doing after installing the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows driver.) I didn't get to buy it at the Microsoft Store (since I didn't had money on me at the time), and wen't to the local Gamestop close to my home. (And for the first time I used the PickUp@Store thing they have.) And bought it and you know the rest now.

I'm going to review this wired controller based on these categories:
Design, Performance, Value and Overall rating. I'm going to be brutally honest on these categories.

The controller comes with the feature of LED glowing lights. It comes in Red, Green, Blue and Purple. And yes you can actually turn off the LED Lights if it bothers you or simply don't want to use at the moment. It comes with vibration functions. You can also put the Xbox 360 Live Headset and Chat Keyboard but I haven't tried those so I'm not sure if it works as well but I bet it does.

Design:
I'm going to be really honest. The controller does have a slight difference vs the original Xbox 360 controller, but it's not something that's going to be annoying. You don't really notice unless you think about too much. And overall still feels like an original Xbox Controller. The controller comes with Vibrating function as well. The buttons feels and work great. (You might probably feel a difference but for me, it doesn't bother me at all.)

Performance:
It's great. Feels and works like you're expecting it to work like.

Value:
The controller has a value of 29.99 USD. And it feels good on your hands, doesn't feel like it will break. (Like some controllers that has that feeling of cheap materials on them.)

Overall rating:
It is an official licensed Microsoft controller so you'll get that Xbox 360 controller feel with the addition of the feature of the LED Lights that add up that nice night gaming feel that we all love. If you're looking for a replacement controller and you don't might the USB Cable, this is your controller. It's cheap, considering that an original wireless controller cost 49.99 USD and the original Xbox 360 Wired controller is at 39.99 USD and this controller only cost 29.99 USD, it's simply a great deal and awesome controller to use.

For those that are worried or just wondering about how long the USB Cable is... Well it's pretty long... (That's what she said.)

So thanks if you read the whole review. It was my first review I've ever done. I did this at 5AM so some things might not make sense xD.

Some random note:

This company also make other types of Xbox 360 Wired controllers for even cheaper but it doesn't have the glowing led's on them, they also do glowing headsets, Playstation Controllers and some other things non-related to the topic.
