Pros: Bought for use in Windows and works well with wireless receiver.
Cons: It should have come with a charging unit. No manual way to turn controller off in Windows; requires pulling out battery pack or let idle and go to sleep. D-pad not the best.

This is the best controller that I have ever bought. I have owned all current as well as past game consoles, and must say that this is the most comfortable, functional, lightweight, and best designed controller that I have ever fit into my hands. I highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone that plays the Xbox 360.

Original xbox controller that works like it should. No problems with this controller. it automatically turns off when you don't use it for awhile to save batteries. Reconnect is quick and hassle free. Good controller.

This controller is awesome if you don't want to be tangled up in wires. The range is great, I usually play from about 12 feet away from the system, and it'll work perfectly from anywhere in the room; you don't need to have a direct line of sight to your XBox. Power consumption is very good also, I've used the controller for at least 2 weeks straight without having to recharge the battery pack (sold separately). I almost finished Lost Planet before having to recharge.

I only really gave this three stars so that it'll catch some attention.
I really like the new Xbox controllers - they fit real nice and are comfortable even for many, many... ...many hours of gaming.
But I've had a bunch of issues with consistency. I now own 3 xbox 360 controllers. The one that game with the console worked fine for about 4 months, and now the left stick "wanders" - that is, if you let go of the stick, it continue reading forward motion. This causes characters to keep walking, cars to keep driving, and any kind of flying craft to nose dive. It has gotten to the point that I can't use the controller anymore. Some people claim that controllers just "do this" after extended use, but 4 months isn't a lot of time, especially when I swapped usage between this controller and the second that I bought separately with the console.
The second controller had a spring issue right out of the box - the "up" direction on the D-pad (the lower-left gray '+' button) had very little spring resistance. I always have to press up more deliberately than the other directions, and in face-paced games it can mean the difference between life and death if the button doesn't register. I can still use the controller, but I choose it for slower games like golf. I thought it would work itself out which is why I never returned it - my fault.
I recently bought one of the blue controllers (big PennState fan here) and it too has a slightly reduced spring feel to the up-D-pad button, but it's barely noticeable, and does not affect game play.
I'll keep my receipts in a safe place from here out, but otherwise, these controllers have good battery life and remain comfortable. They're also nice and heavy which makes them feel sturdy and reliable. Let's just hope that the later remains true.
