High-performance wireless gaming is here! Using optimized technology, the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller lets you enjoy a 30-foot range and up to 40 hours of life on the two included AA batteries—and when they run low, you're given ample warning so you can connect a Play & Charge Kit for uninterrupted play.

Plug the Xbox 360 Headset into the controller for full two-way voice communication: a wireless first.

Features
  • 2.4GHz high-performance wireless technology with a 30-foot range
  • Up to 40 hours of life on two AA batteries
  • Play & Charge cable allows for uninterrupted play when batteries run low
  • System support for up to four wireless controllers simultaneously
  • Integrated headset plugs into the controller for full duplex voice communication
  • Improved compact ergonomical design
  • 6 analog buttons have 256 levels of sensitivity
  • 2 analog pressure-point triggers
  • 2 vibration feedback motors
  • 1 eight-way directional pad
  • Adjustable “Rumble Control” settings for full, medium, low, or off to match personal preference
  • Guide Button provides quick access to all Xbox 360 system activities

Retail specs
  • Price: $49.99 (£32.99)
  • Release Date: Launch
  • Manufacturer: Microsoft

User perspective
The Good:
  • Ergonomic design increases comfort over past editions
  • Proprietary 2.4 GHz technology
  • 30 ft. range
  • Instant transfer rate between control input and game reaction
  • 25 hours of play, with adjustable vibration settings

The Bad:
  • Shorter battery life with more intense vibration settings and the use of voice chat
  • Start button too close to action buttons
  • Some accustomed to the original trigger buttons may find the new ones to small

The Verdict:
Like the standard controller, great size, fit and finish. Probably the best execution of wireless controller to date...there really isn't any lag.
