Title: Not the best
Product review: This was a gift to a hardcore gamer who plays fighting games a lot, but after a few weeks of extreme-to-the-max fighting, the D-pad snapped off. You see, the whole thing was mounted on a thin plastic stud that does not tolerate a button-masher.The buttons are also an issue. They have a solid tactile response. However, they take more energy to push than the buttons on quality controllers. This may not be noticeable with slow-down-and-think type of games, but it is very inconvenient in fast-paced fighting games.The blue light looks awesome, but the now-missing D-pad makes it look bad.To sum it up, it works, it is compatible with Windows XP, and it looks cool; OK for casual gamers, but hard-core gamers will want something better.For the record, I didn't buy it at Amazon, but it's the same thing.
