This is a great controller for the Xbox 360, it works well and looks great! This controller is a standard Xbox 360 wireless controller with a sleek gold finish on the front. The gold finish resists fingerprints well and is comfortable to hold even with sweaty hands. Both joysticks are made of hard plastic and, like most new Xbox 360 controllers, are not covered in soft rubber like the original Xbox 360 controllers that wear out over time. The resistance to all joysticks and buttons also feels natural. I bought this controller to replace my original Xbox 360 controller (which came from the 2nd gen Xbox 360 console) and I am happy with how it works. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new Xbox 360 controller.
