Took a little too long to get the item and two buttons have already broken.
Rating: - Nice responsive controller
I have had this for a few months now and it is great. I have changed the batteries twice so far. The sleep function is very handy, it probably has saved me a ton on batteries. It works as well or better than the standard wired controller.
Rating: - Great wireless controller
My son really likes this wireless controller. He thinks it's great to move around the room and not get tangled up or unplugging it form the console. He's said he could play on the other side of the wall if he could see the TV. I can't say how long the batteries work because he use rechargeables.

The one thing that may throw you off about this controller if you are used to the origional xbox controllers is that the start and select buttons are inbetween the 2 control sticks. Where the start and select button used to be (to the left of the left stick) is a turbo and a power/connect button. It will take some getting used to, but the button reconfiguration won't throw you offf for long.
I bought this controller 4 1/2 months ago and it broke recently. So be aware that buying this controller might be a short term fix. The left control stick no longer functions correctly and the triggers never felt strong even after optimal treatment. I never dropped this controller, never tossed it onto a couch or anything that could be construed as abuse to a controller.
But the sad fact is that since the origional Xbox has been replaced by the Xbox 360, good controllers for this old system simply aren't made anymore. The only way to buy origional Xbox controllers is used or knock-offs like these.
I bought the wired version of this controller made by the same company before the wireless one broke and it feels sturdier; I would reccommend buying that one. But seeing as how it hasn't gotten as much use, it may also be poorly made as well. But my initial impression is that it's made better.
Rating: - Cheap but works fine
I think Shawn pretty well covers it. It is cheap in both price and construction but gets the job done. No significant complaints.
