PDP Rock Candy Xbox 360 Controller - Red

This controller was great when I got it. It worked really well for the first two months until it randomly started to automatically look down as if I was holding down on the right thumb stick. I'm really disappointed with this controller because I really liked it until it started to malfunction. I was going to return it but the return date expired 3 weeks before the controller started to act up.

My laptop (dell inspiron 15z ultrabook) recognized the controller and downloaded the driver as soon as I plugged it in. After about a week I used this controller for a little over 20 hours playing different games on Steam with Windows 8.1 I've had no problems at all. I haven't needed to connect / reconnect the controller due to any kind of malfunctions. I've also tried using this controller with Xpadder for games that don't have native controller support for casual gaming and setting it up and programming the buttons went flawlessly. This controller was $24+ tax at Walmart so I decided to order online for only $19 and wait the two days it took to receive the controller. About the actual controller itself; it's got the best value for the price! The plastic is sturdy, joysticks and triggers are nice and responsive and all the buttons have a nice clicky feel. PDP did a pretty good job and for only a few dollars more than one of those generic microsoft controller knock offs it's definitely the cheapest legit alternative to buying the original. I normally wear medium or large sized gloves and the controller feels nice in my hands. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking to buy a wired controller whether it's for your PC or to save batteries.

Rock Candy makes Xbox 360 knock-offs. If you've used a plain Xbox 360 controller, you've used one of these Rock Candy controllers. They feel pretty good int he hand, though they're far, far lighter than the official 360 controllers. The see-through plastic is very reminiscent of old-school N64 controllers, which can be off-putting, but they make very good PC controllers-Unlike knockoff PS3/PS4 controllers they are supported on Windows the same as a 360 controller, so they'll work for pretty much any game you throw at it. Build wise they last about as long as a twenty-dollar controller will. My first one crapped out on me after six months, not because of any busted sticks or buttons, but because the wire near the extender-clip at the end of the controller is damaged. The 'X' symbol on the guide button is also not an actual plastic button, but a stick-on-label that peeled off from constant use. The button underneath isn't sharp or anything though, and works exactly the same, so it's strange they even put the microsoft logo on. The controller itself is sensitive but not too sensitive, and feels good in the hand. it vibrates pretty strongly. The cord is very long(just skirting the edge of too long if you're using a laptop/PC instead of sitting across the Tv from a couch.

I had a very bad experience. For the first time.one. I ordered three of there controler unfortunatly only one is working properly. One keeps flashing the light andwill not start up to play the other controler does not work propery.. the anolog botton does not work so I am unable to play the game. Wast of money I have been using these type of controler for a while. And thats why. I give one star. This is unacceptable. I would like my controlers to be replased

Its actually one of the better maybe best controllers I have used for the price. This is not a generic broken third party controller. Yes the "X" sticker in the middle makes it look unprofessional but pales little to how well this controller fits to casual gaming. I will now make a list. Pro: The feel of the controller in hand The placement of the start and select button (easy reach) The handles really fill out the hand, so it appears for a better grip I haven't really tested this, but the mic sounds better (in my opinion) through this controller than the real thing. Cons: The sticker in the middle(but who really cares) There may be a little bit of glitch with the controller buttons like actions are received without me touching any button, but seriously its no big deal its not readily PC enabled, you have to manually configure it to work on the PC (but still that is no big deal, you can just google)

I bought this controller because it was cheap, and the reviews were relatively good. Unfortunately, there seems to be a reason that it is cheap. Within a few months of slight use (less than an hour a week) the RB button started to stick or not work sometimes. Then the left stick button started to not work occasionally. Finally, the left stick began having phantom movement, where, without touching it, movement will occur in the game. It got so bad that I could no longer handle it. I broke down and bought an actually MS controller.

Wired controller saves you money on batteries and has a slightly faster response time than wireless controllers, The buttons feel solid; they don't shake around or stick. Same with the joysticks;solid, don't stick. The whole feel of the controller is nice and smooth and clean. The one thing I had to get used to was the two START buttons in the middle are slightly higher than the XBOX brand controllers. Also, the XBOX logo on the home button is a paper logo and not a 3D plastic piece like the XBOX brand controllers. If this is a problem for you then you're really picky :P *UPDATE* Had this controller for almost 9 months and it inexplicably stopped working. Started with the left bumper always registering as down but not psychically sticking, then the xbox just didn't register it at all. Said "reconnect controller" as though the batteries were dead. I guess for the price I should have expected as much. I really didn't put too much strain on it. I'm a casual gamer and I don't button mash :/

nicely working good product
