 madcatz controller August 23, 2010

It works perfectly. My only gripe is that sometimes if you hold the L trigger too long it can get stuck holding L, but it's ok, doesn't happen too often, and when it does, you just have to press L again.
 Cheap! August 15, 2010

It does its job for the price, but it is not as good as other controllers that are more expensive.
 Cheaply made; not worth buying for the slightly better D-pad. January 10, 2010

I bought a Mad Catz Xbox 360 gamepad because the official Xbox 360 controller is notorious for having a terrible directional pad. The Mad Catz model does improve slightly upon the official controller's D-pad, but it still feels mushy, and occasionally registers inaccurate directional presses. The D-pad is stiff when pushed down, making it difficult to press in a different direction until you release it.
The pad's overall construction feels much cheaper than the official model. The plastic is not machined as smoothly and buttons don't sit comfortably in the holes of the faceplate. Thus, they tend to stick, especially the Start and Back buttons. The analog sticks, while serviceable, became buggy over time, and after a few months of light use, my left stick sometimes got stuck registering a left push. This problem happened on both Xbox 360 and PC.
Ultimately, I can't recommend the Mad Catz gamepad as a replacement for an official model, as its slightly more accurate D-pad is offset by generally poorer design and engineering. Try a different third-party controller instead, such as the Hori Pad EX2 Turbo, or the Saitek PP35.

It works for what it is. October 26, 2009

I got this controller specifically for the d-pad, but I find myself perplexed by the d-pad itself. The d-pad on this controller is alot harder to use than the regular controller. I would just use this controller as a means of playing roms/emulator games and just sticking with the regular controller. You'll notice the difference and end up preferring to go back to the original controller.

I've yet to use it with a 360, but it works great with a PC. The buttons are also a bit stiff
