Review on Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller for Windows Bundle by Micha Szymaski ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

What did I pay for? The product is a complete failure.

Received the lowest possible rating. There is a connection between this and the next. When I first opened the package at my house, there was a strong odor of plastic that permeated the entire space. The odor emanated not from the controller device itself but rather from the wires connecting it. Since this is a relatively recent development, I suppose it is to be expected. After only ten minutes of playing, my head started hurting and I got a stinging sensation in both of my eyes. I was forced to move out onto the balcony in order to get some fresh air. After being placed in such a quarantine for a week, I was finally able to quietly interact with this equipment while in the same room. Obviously, one can still detect the odor, but it has become more bearable. I believe that after another week, everything will be back to normal. Nevertheless, I feel it is important to point out that despite appearances, these gadgets are designed with children in mind. Either Microsoft did not keep an eye on what was happening in China or the company did not give a damn about this problem. In any event, the product's quality took a significant nosedive as a result. Do not be bashful, ladies and gentlemen; do not be afraid to request that the vendor open the box in front of you so that you can smell the joystick. Just so you know, my joystick is black; perhaps things might go more smoothly if I had a white one.

Pros
  • Ergonomic design and low weight. Fits the hands like a glove and resides there. There won't be any issues with the firewood; everything is ready to go.
Cons
  • Strong odor of plastic emanating from the cable.
