Forty4 Wireless Gaming Controller

This is the first review I've written for Amazon of the many things I've purchased, but after hovering my controller near its companion dongle for a half hour and still not get it to work, I just had to. This controller is awful. When it works, its like any other Xbox controller but with two extra buttons on the back that, when accidentally pressed w/o configuration, will make your character do a bunch of seemingly random actions that has once or twice resulted in them just walking themselves off a cliff. Ok, whatever, happens. The charging cord is terrifyingly short, so if you're not glued face-to-face with your machine, you oughta let it charge before you play and then stop when its out of battery -- and the battery isn't terribly impressive itself at 6-8 hours-ish. Worse, at least for what I received, if I even slightly rustle the wire my controller is connected to, it makes my computer short circuit which disconnects and reconnects my HDD and RGB. The HDD is particularly unfortunate; I've had four games corrupted bc that happened while I was installing. Tacky, but whatever, the wireless dongle was fine so I can survive. Perhaps by this point I should have expected more trouble with every feature, but you guessed it, that's bugging itself out too. I put it into a USB port and it takes a moment to wake itself up, then the controller needs to connect properly (usually needs to be plugged in and out about 4 times), and we're ready to rock, poor start be damned. Except now it just loses connection with the dongle, which both devices are close enough to one another that I can even use the terribly short charging cord, if I wanted to risk it snapping my HDD in half. At the best of times, its a wireless xbox 360 controller with mouse buttons. At the worst of times, it kills you in games for you. I'm unhappy with the product.
