I received this controller, plugged it in and started playing. But I missed the grades I usually get. Come find out the Strum Bar didn't "read" the beats. I then applied for a trade with EA. A new one came, plugged in and done. he did not "read" the posting. I have since contacted EA again and am in the process of getting another one. At this point I can't tell you if this is a good product or not until I get a product that works properly. Once I receive it and evaluate if it works properly I will update this review.
