A great replacement for a standard gamepad if you want stick layouts like the Xbox. Hori Onyx, similar in function, loses a little to this gamepad for me personally. Some pros: + Good assembly, + Tactilely pleasant materials, + Wireless, + Long battery life Some cons: The connection is made through the whistle that comes with the kit, and not through a standard wireless connection, which is why it is impossible to turn on the console with this gamepad.
