I immediately ordered me four pieces of it in order to run on my PC.
First of all, I was a little disappointed: Although the design suggests a Xbox 360 controller, but the size is more like a normal Playstation controller. Perhaps even a touch smaller. The analogue sticks together a little further than most other gamepads. Everything just matter of habit and bearable for the price. My hands are rather small anyway.
The processing of the gamepad is good in any case, especially considering the price. Sharp or jagged edges will not. Reason to complain there is so little. The pressure points of the buttons are well. Unfortunately, the feedback is lacking in the lower shoulder buttons. There are virtually no "click". The upper shoulder buttons are minimal shaky and there you have it sometimes push a little harder to find the right pressure point. That too is an absolute matter of habit and do not bother me. None of the four key pads jammed while playing.
In the beginning there were problems connecting to the PC. The gamepad has been identified only in a few games and the assignment of the keys was completely wrong. In addition, each controller is displayed as "Number 1" on the corresponding LED. Remedy then managed the XInput mode the gamepad. For this you need to hold what is then confirmed by flashing LEDs on each gamepad the Home button for 5 seconds. Then each pad has the correct number and will be recognized easily in games. Windows refers to the controller then as "Xbox 360 Controller".
The USB receiver is already large, larger than current USB sticks. (65mmx10mmx20mm) Unfortunately, they are a bit too wide, which is why they are / operate heavy side by side with each other. They interfere a bit with each other, but the operation is still possible. Two besides / among themselves powered receiver protrude then minimal out of the USB port. There are still no Emfpangsprobleme.
Charging the (replaceable) batteries without any problems via the supplied USB cable. How long the pad needs to be loaded and how to recognize the state of charge, the supplied leaflet unfortunately does not reveal. In fact, the LEDs will stop flashing when the battery is full. The Games Operating via the USB cable (without battery / with an empty battery) is not possible because of this (and the connection) is intended exclusively for charging.
Overall, the controller especially by the good workmanship and the low price is interesting. Who has big hands, maybe you should take up another pad. Otherwise, you can recommend it for both PS3 gamepad, and for the PC definitely for bargain hunters. Soon all four controllers are tested extensively with friends. If there are problems, I will edit accordingly.

Playing four lost three controllers now and then release the connection. This happened whenever the line of sight was disturbed to the receiver. For particularly hectic movements, this also appears to happen. I prefer the effect from a star, which is why there are 3 stars now. I alone have no problems in normal playing, I keep the gamepad.

In the game "Tomb Raider" I noticed in all four gamepads that it virtually "dead" areas are at the analog sticks. When I look around with a stick, this z. B. remain at the bottom left and bottom right at a certain place motionless. In "watchdogs" this is not the case. Perhaps "Tomb Raider" optimized only for original XBox pads? Even finer goals is difficult, because the sticks already very sensitive to the slightest movement and thus more accurate play is problematic.
I got myself an original Xbox controller for PC and keep the two gamepads offered here for Multiplayer Games and Arcade Games. Apparently you have to rely on PC deeper into their pockets to get a flawless gamepad.
