![Orzly Steering Wheels for Nintendo Switch & OLED Joy-Cons, Racing Wheels for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe [Mariokart Switch Steering Wheel Joycon Controller Attachment Accessories]-TWIN PACK [2X Black Wheels]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uhFtFyWgL._AC_UF480,480_SR480,480_.jpg)
As my original white wireless controller had been keeping me going for just over 3 years, it was a bit worse for wear. The main problem was that the sticks would not re-centre, they would just get stuck in their last position. The rechargeable batteries I had been using were also dying so I found that a wired controller would be ideal for my needs.
This controller was a great deal, just £17.99 at the time of my purchase, which would be cheaper than me having to buy a new wireless and batteries or a Play & Charge Kit. With a 2.7m cable, it it more than enough for how far I am going to need. It also comes with a break off point that stops you from pulling the Xbox or PC off the surface it is put on. It uses a standard USB connection.
It features the new shiny Xbox Guide button, and the glossy black panel where the headset connects. However, it still features the standard D-pad, not the twisting one you get with new consoles, but as I have gotten used to how the old one works, it isn't really a problem for me.
An interesting feature that I noticed was that Microsoft have used 6 normal cross-headed screws to hold this controller together, rather than the fiddly Torx screws on my old one. This means that it should be much easier to take apart for cleaning or respraying with a new colour, but I have not tried this yet, so I can't comment on the success of doing this.
In conclusion, a great product that feels well built, solid and does its job well.
UPDATE:
As of 15/06/12 it still works fine, with all games like Gears 3, MW2, Halo Reach, Forza 3, Fallout 3, Geometry Wars 2, Trials Evolution, Assassin's Creed franchise etc. Have also been using it a bit on PC with the Arkham series of Batman games and also with Dirt 3. Although these are all Games for Windows games you would expect the controller to work with them, and it does fine. No additional drivers needed to be installed, game just recognised it and had all the buttons mapped out already. Still 5*

Not happy at all
I am extremely dissatisfied with the product I received! Firstly, the box had clearly been opened then resealed, stupidly I disregarded this and assumed the item was in fully, working condition. Quite the contrary, upon inspection of the controller itself there was clear signs of damage all around the sides of the controller (As if someone jammed a screwdriver in there!) not to mention there was obvious signs of the controller being opened and or tampered with in some fashion, as the paint that would have covered the screws was scratched off. The USB connection was bent upwards, although the controller connects to my PC, there is a major issue! If I make the slightest movement with the controller it instantly disconnects and reconnects unless the wire is in a certain position Tried the controller using different USB port and even another system entierly yielding the same result. Finally the serial number for my controller has been scratched off! This is far and beyond what I expected to receive! Not impressed at all! I advise everyone who considers buying from this seller to proceed with caution!

La qualité au rendez-vous !
Si vous avais besoin d'une manette prenez une manette xbox 360 ou une manette xbox one, la compatibilité sous windows et plus simple que si il s'agit d'une manette de ps3/ps4 j'ai fait le teste et je préfère les manette de chez microsoft pour jouer sur pc et aussi rejouer sur xbox pas la même occasion.ÉlectrotechLa qualité au rendez-vous !

Avec windows, on branche et ça fonctionne. Aucun bruit ni couinement, pas de jeu, le cable se fait oublier et est assez long pour moi. Les têtes des joysticks sont en fin de compte bien plus confortables que les embouts arrondis des manettes de la concurrence. Cette manette est de très bonne qualité et à l'usage je ne regrette plus son prix; reste à voir combien de millions d'heures de jeu elle va assurer! :) Je recommande!
