Summary: Save your money and live with the cord...
Comment: I needed another XBox controller, and thought, hey, rather than spend $25 on a corded one, I'll just spend DOUBLE that, and get one with voice built in. I've got the Halo2 headset from Plantronics (highly recommended) and it'll plug right into this controller without the XBox live voice adapter.
Well, that's where the good impression ended. First of all, it's smaller (or more cramped) than the XBox S controller. The control is somewhere between horrible and miserable. Specifically, the 'dead zone' on it is as big as a moose head. The dead zone is how far you have to move the analog sticks to get them to 'engage' or start inputting control. Also, the tension on the analog sticks is so high that by the time you start to engage, you're pushing so hard on the stick that the tiny input you meant to make is now a wide-sweeping arc.
Well, I thought, I'll just lower the sensitivity in-game, and be ready to rock. Even on sensitivity 1 in Halo2 (the lowest you can set), it's impossible to make anything other than huge targetting changes. Forget sniping with it. Not gonna happen.
The turbo feature is not terrible, though it's a fixed rate, so you end up turning it on and off depending on what weapon you've got.
The voice quality is almost passable... almost. And that's when it's working well. Most of the time it's just a lot of white-noise in your ear. Oh, and when you have to reset it because you're no longer receiving voice signal, your entire controller seizes up until it re-syncs (roughly 5-10 seconds). I'm sure your opponents will be happy not to shoot you while you wait.
The previous reviewer of this product is right about the button response. You have to practically put your shoulder into pushing the A/B/X/Y buttons to get them to respond. It's not a defective controller, it's a flawed design.
Intec should be ashamed of themselves for taking my $50 for this POS. And Toys R Us should be embarrassed for carrying it (though that's all they're selling anymore. the markup must be better, because you can't get official controllers from TRU anymore).
I had hoped it would be more like the Wavebird from Nintendo. Now that's a wireless controller. Obviously there is no voice support, and it's for Gamecube only, but Intec could learn something about wireless controller design by just buying and playing with them. They feel like official controllers, the response is lightning quick, you don't have to 'sync' to anything, and the batteries last weeks or months with heavy use.
It's the first and last Intec product I'll ever buy. They'll never read this, but they could learn a lot about designing products by hiring people who actually play games. No gamer would ever have signed off on a product like this.

Summary: VERY POOR PRODUCT
Comment: I got this about 2 months ago,plug it in, terrible. The sound was scratchy the response on hitting buttons was very bad.
I immediatly send it out for a replacement one to Intec. It took till today to get here,remember thats 2 months,when I was promised 2-6 days for arrival.
I try to use it now,AND ITS JUST AS CRAPPY. I am not being to harsh, I attempted to go on XBLive and talk to my friends,and they couldnt understand a word. I tried swapping it out with my sisters xbox,and just as bad.Im using new Duracell batteries,so that cant be the problem,the two test systems I used it on are under a year old.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
I should have taken the $50 I spent total on this,and bought a wireless headset.
