I have an Original XBox that was a holiday gift to me back in 2006; it was bought used and had an aftermarket controller that was wore out back when I got it. So far I have only used one of these two controllers, and it is SO NICE to have joysticks that aren't held together by hopes and dreams! All of the controls work as advertised; sure feeling and no latentcy. The cables don't have as much strain relief as I was expecting, but I'm not rough with my controllers anyway, so no big deal there. The cases have no rough edges that I can find, and do not feel flimsy.
