I just got the Gears of War Controller and it is very well built including the gear design. It has a shiny surface and feels good in the hand. It's clearly from Microsoft, so you know it's pretty well made and not fake. It has a pop-up D-Pad button, which you turn left to activate. The only problem is that it doesn't come with a battery. It comes with batteries only. In addition, like other controllers, all the buttons feel great and look cute. I might even order another one.
