After my son already had 2 controller of its kind for the competition console, there was no doubt that he wanted to have this controller for the Xbox360. Via USB port it has then also connected him directly and from then on I shouted "wow", "cool", "super", etc. The green is a super eye-catcher. Only in the case of my son feel criticized that the controller him personally is "slippery". I think he will get used to it, but particularly for smaller hands should keep this in mind.
I welcome as a mother in any case, that is not always new batteries are needed, because the controller via a USB cable (long enough for us personally) is connected. Thus, the spontaneous fun weekend is nothing in the way.
From my son (and thus also by me) a strong buy recommendation, if you'd like to have a slightly different controller.
