In fact the entire controller's design proves quite sturdy. Thankfully they are durable and hold up well to a lot of abuse. The sticks themselves offer decent resistance when moved about, but they felt less accurate than what I was used to when playing a twitch based game like Call of Duty. They are concave and shaped nicely at just the right height, but I do prefer the slightly more padded, textured feel of the rubbery pads found on an official Xbox 360 controller. The aforementioned smooth shell is comfortable once I broke it in, though the plastic thumb sticks are less pleasant after hours of play. There is a hard look to the controller that does come through in how it feels in your hands. My kids are older now, but upon seeing this feature, I recalled my older PlayStation 1 and 2 days and recall my kids darting around the living room, tripping over my cables, falling to the floor crying as my console took a very undesirable tumble of its own. Speaking of the cable, it is worth noting that it has a breakaway design that should be a requirement for all wired controllers.

However, it is absolutely perfect for when I am seated at my PC and playing something much closer to my monitors. That versatility was huge, because I tend to sit back from my Xbox 360 and the fairly lengthy 8 foot cable on this controller reached from console to couch.

I had no issues with this, as my Windows operating system knew what to do with it after a few moments of getting things configured. While the controller is labeled specifically for Xbox 360 use, it can also be plugged right into a computer. Turns out looks can be deceiving, because the Rock Candy Wired Controller for the Xbox 360 delivers a very good gaming experience. The translucent plastic shell looked slick but it also looked like more of a gimmick than a legitimate piece of precision hardware. At first glance the green Rock Candy Wired Controller looked visually interesting, but I had my doubts about how it would feel. There are a lot of controllers out there for the Xbox 360 now, so it's not enough to simply look good.
