Rating: - Works for me
well, if you are looking for a controller of this type. Hori Controller EX Turbo for Xbox 360 works, for me anyway.
I think D-pad is excellent. Best for fighting games.

I love all of products from HORI. this controller is very reliable.
First of all I like the 4-direction pad. In most game I don't need 8-direction pad. sometimes XBOX is confused which direction I push. only one thing I have to complain is that it is not wireless. I hope HORI's wireless controller would be imported someday
Rating: - Great for fighting games , hack & slash games & arcade games
With the fact that it's rare to even find a turbo controler for the Xbox360 I think that the hori controler works well.
Great for the good old classic arcade games and todays fast paced fighting games such as D.O.A. & Virtua Fighter 5. Also found it very useful for games such as the Dynasty Warriors series,Fantastic Four, D.W.-Gundam, Conan, Beuwolf & etc. Now on some of these games may requrie you to hold buttons down for certain combos etc. But unless it's a move or task you need to complete the stage or etc. The speed that the Hori controler releases will make up for charge attacks. Now, I would not recommend this controler for F.P.S. games due to the fact the top buttons are a tad smaller than the orignal xbox360 controllers. Also the top buttons work fine but did not seem as smooth as the original xbox360 controllers. If you're a fighting, action, hack & slash videogamer then this controler is a must have! No more finger cramping when fighting in a survival match or huge boss battles or waves & waves of enemies! The Hori will get you thru it in a hack & slash!
Rating: - Best Controller for Arcade Games
We can all agree that the D-Pad on the original Xbox 360 controller is not good, making all those Xbox Live Arcade games harder than they should be, especially fighting games like Street Fighter II. This Hori Controller has a much better D-Pad, and that alone makes it worth the purchase for just playing the arcade games.
The face buttons are very solid, and each can be used with the turbo function. The turbo works perfectly, but It does not work with shoulder buttons. Speaking of which, the shoulder buttons are the worst part of the controller. The triggers are smaller, and pressing them in does not feel as right as the original controller. The bumpers click in nicely, but are not as long as the original controller's.
Basically, this controller is not recommended for shooters, since that genre revolves around the triggers so much. However, it does work really well with arcade games that use the D-Pad and face buttons, and I would prefer this controller over the original for that purpose only. If you buy the arcade games on Xbox 360, I highly recommend you use this controller to play them.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my brother-in-law who is a huge Halo gamer. I thought that with the various turbo functions it would give him some extra advantages with on-line play. I was wrong. The controls had horrible response time and some of the buttons would actually stick. I would recommend buying this item only if you want an incredible challenge or to give as a gift to someone you want to beat at gaming. By the way, I ended up buying my brother-in-law another Christmas present because I felt so bad for giving him this controller as a gift.
