Buyers Beware, This is not a real Xbox controller.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Wired Controller for Windows

Pros: It looks like an Xbox controller.

Cons: As others have posted, the triggers are flimsy, and the joysticks feel cheap and inaccurate. The D-Pad is incredibly low quality and often pressing the down button will also trigger the right button (This will kill you in Dark Souls as it causes a weapon swap). After a few weeks of use, and mainly in a stationary position, wiggling the middle of the cord disconnects the controller from my PC and shuts it off. The spot with the cylindrical plastic piece near the end of the cord seems to experience the same problem as an old pair of headphones - wiggling breaks the connection. The only problem is, this controller has not taken 1% of the abuse that a pair of headphones will in a month.

Overall Review: My controller has taken no real abuse. It has never been tugged dropped or damaged. The cord must have the world's thinnest copper wires inside.
