Great Quality - Long Lasting

After much careful thought and research, we decided to go wireless with our Xbox 360. What an awesome decision that was! I waited on a review to make sure that the wireless controllers all functioned properly, held their charge and could be played at all angles/distances up to 30ft from the TV and then some. To be on the safe side, I ordered one charge and play just in case one of the controllers went out during play. To date, it has not been needed. The controllers hold their charge just fine for all our gamers - and they tend to play up to 6 hours at a time. As to the quality of the controllers ... one was subjected to an English Springer Spaniel trying to use it as a chew toy and survived. Another was dropped on ceramic tile- when one player threw a fit- and showed no signs of damage. All 4 are still going strong months after use. I would definitely recommend going wireless for all families - especially if you have pets or young children running around that can trip on the cords. It's  more

It's a controller

It's a Xbox 360 Elite Wireless Controller but it's black. Not much to say except you would hope to save a bundle with Overstock but on this item you saved just a little. I had a gift certificate and needed a controller seemed like a good match. It works just like the White Controller that comes with the Xbox but its black.

Got 360 Black controller?

If you've got an Xbox 360, you need controllers. This black one is elegant, and matches the Elite 360. It also goes well with the white console too.

The layout of the buttons on the Xbox 360 is amazing. It's perfect for many of the games that are on the 360. The rumble is effective, and the wireless capacity is wonderful.

The only beef I have, is that I've had two controllers that become loose on the left analog stick, and they began to drag the cursor when not touched. The Xbox Warranty I had from the console replaced them free of charge. Luckily I had extra controllers to get me by in the week it took to replace it.

When matched with the rechargable battery pack, they give you lots of gaming time between charges.

X-Box 360 Wireless Router

Just received the Router, purchased it knowing it was used. Have had it for 3 days and still unable to use it "locate connection" after reading and re-reading the manual, adjusting the antenna, moving into different rooms trying to pick up a connection and still as of this date unable to do so. Am going to contact the internet provider for home computers and see if there is some problem in locating a connection that I am not aware of. Main computer in Master Bedroom with a router, laptop able to secure a connection in any room with router from main computer and main internet connection. So this is all a bit baffeling.

Great Gift Idea

Given as a gift, loves it.
Pros- works well, looks sleek, comes with batteries
Cons- sucks the juice out of the batteries pretty fast. might want to pick up a rechargeable pack while you're here.

"Different"

Say you have a bunch of friends, and you all have 360's, and you decide to have a lan party. Everyone knows after a long time most people tend to not remember which controller is theirs. ( Especially when everyones drinking, or smoking.) This kind of helps the owner of it alleviate that problem... unless you want to have your name in magic marker on your controller. Being the only black controller at our LAN parties makes it easily distinguishable for me and I dont leave with someone elses controller, cuz who knows what other people touch before they play xbox.

Great Controller. Whats with the price?

This controller has all the great(exact same) features of its white counter part, but with a new sleek black color. I rated it 3 stars because you can get the exact controller in white for 39.99 but they had to bump this up to 49.99. why? who knows but its pretty stupid. other than the price its a great controller and if you feel like saving 10 bucks go with the white wireless.

A slight improvement.

Ok, so this is basically just the white controller painted black. To be honest, the white controllers don't look too bad, its the white console that looks terrible. But that is my opinion. On to the facts. The black controller is almost exactly the same, but part of the grip is more "matte" than the white one. The white controller always makes me sweat for some reason because it is too smooth. These look great however. The colors are well matched even though it may not look like it in the pictures. I'd definitely recommend picking these up if you have an elite, or if you have core/premium and you want the black ones so the grime doesn't show as much, I'd highly recommend these.
