I'll break my review down into pros and cons.Pros:-It looks exactly like a microsoft controller. I mean exactly.-Hard sturdy plastic just like a microsoft controller.-Plays pretty well. So far I've only played a couple hours of Gears of War 4 on PC with it, but it does a good job.-Vibration works fine so far (I know other people have had some problems with it, but so far I have not).-Cord seems sturdy.-All the buttons work perfectly.-Plug and play. Zero problems with that.-Arrived one day earlier then it was supposed to. And the packaging was nice.Cons:-My biggest problem with the controller is that the analog sticks are a little loose. It doesn't seem to effect game play much but it just doesn't feel right.-Although the spot where the cord goes into the controller hasn't come out yet, like other reviewers have mentioned, it is a little loose and feels like it could if someone tripped over the cord.Other:-The pictures show a black controller with gray sticks, bottom, and cord. In reality the entire controller (at least the one I received) is black. I put this in other because I don't consider it a con (I like the look much better than the one pictured), but others might.-There is no spot near the end of the cord that comes apart. I assume this is to stop a console from flying off the shelf when someone trips over the cord. Not really a negative, especially if you're playing on PC, but it is something to be aware of.-It's been quite a few years since I've owned a wired xbox 360 controller, but this controller seems a little lighter than a microsoft wired controller.Conclusion:For the price I don't think you are going to be able to find anything better. It's not the perfect controller and it may not last forever, but it is exactly what I was looking for. I really love how similar it is to a microsoft controller. That's really what sold me on it. And for anyone wondering, I did NOT receive a discount. I paid the normal price for this controller.
