I bought the controller for use with racing games as I thought the keyboard had limited control. On almost all the racing games I have used it with the dead zone is non-existent, cars constantly swerve to the left or right making it hard to enjoy the game properly. The issue continues on the some shooters, where the controller dead zone is again too small causing character to wander very slowly without constant input, again VERY annoying.

Does work perfectly with Burnout Paradise as you can change the sensitivity and the dead zone size. Which is a bonus!

Otherwise a sturdy and reliable unit and no problems installing... only calibrating correctly. Hopefully some third-party software could sort this out or a patch. Rating: 2 / 5

This controller when used with your Xbox360 is absolutely brilliant, it feels and plays well which brings me on to the PC side of the controller where unfortunately it is not as good. All the button and triggers work fine on Halo PC that is so far the only game I have found to work properly with the controller yet when you use it for another game such as Grand Theft Auto the triggers do not work which is a blast when it comes to driving because I have to use A instead and also the right analogue stick along with the D-PAD both have no functionality.

So to sum it up if you have Halo PC and you cannot play it with your Keyboard because frankly halo + keyboard does not go then this is a must bye but the main reason for not giving it four is obviously you cannot use all the buttons in every joy pad enabled game!

Good item but amazon dont mention for some reason it takes them several days to process the order, so all in delivery was about a week.

I’ve never touched a console controller before and this is my first.I can confidently say that this is the best controller.The racing games are absolutely an ease but i did find the KB/M combination work better with the PoP trilogy.Though seasoned users might find this one easy to use..

Great product,great service,love to do it one more time

When the parcel arrived I ran around the village twice totally involuntarily – great delivery. Very squeaky analogue stick after owning the product for under a month and using it rarely. So annoying that I had to smash it into tiny pieces and now lies peacefully squeaking no more in my wicker basket bin. Will be ordering a second time and KEEPING the packaging so I can send it back when the new one starts squeaking. Don’t buy twice, buy once and keep your packaging (which is impossible not to ruin when you open it because it is heat crimped shut).
