Review: Glowing XBox 360 Controller, Oh My.... What A Wonder... - If you are looking for a XBox 360 controller to work with Windows, then this is the choice for you. I use it to play MLB 2K12 on my laptop, which requires an XBox 360 controller. It does everything that a REGULAR XBox 360 controller is supposed to do and the commands/buttons are, for all intents and purposes, the same as the regular XBox 360 controller. The LED lights enhance the gaming experience, and are very popping and dazzling. I have used this on my HP Omen gaming laptop (with Windows), and the results are fantastic (specifically for something that is decently priced and not overly expensive for purchase). It uses a USB plug in, and is Plug-N-Play driver operated (at least on Windows 7, 8 , & 10), and the normal process of calibration might be required for certain uses or commands. However, if you are NOT trying to create any special profiles or tiers of commands or moves, then you PROBABLY won't have to calibrate anything. This only glows RED, so be forewarned. If you want another color, there are other options I believe on either this page or another desertcart ad page. If not, there is definitely the same product, with different color options on places like eBay or NewEgg, so there are other options & colors - but this one I'm reviewing is STRICTLY Red. This product is a 4.75 or 4.8 out of 5.0 (9.2/10), with the only drawback or con that I can really comment on being that after certain Windows updates, it does require a re-acquirement "scan" (for a lack of a better term). That might not be with the item though, as it might have to do with Windows. I often have to have my printer drivers reacquired after some updates, so this might be a Windows glitch not an Afterglow issue?!!?
Review: Functional and cheap but finnicky and fragile - A medium quality and cheap 360 wired controller, but with two major issues: the buttons wear out somewhat easily and the drivers can be INCREDIBLY finnicky. ive gone through 3 or 4 of these so far since they're the cheapest option (an official wired 360 controller for pc can cost $50+!!!!). Buy at your own risk.

### ⭐ Cell phone plug equals one week countdown to corruption
*by K***R on May 23, 2020*

the old Afterglow which is what is in the picture,seriously look at the top of that controller it's got that old style round hardwired part and then the place where the controller cord splits is about 3 in from the front of the Xbox so like if you tripped over the cord or whatever it comes out without ripping your Xbox off the stuff, those are an Easy four-star but these new ones have a cell phone plug in at the top of the controller and it's great that everything uses the same plug now but if you move your controller the slightest little bit when you play they get corrupted so easy I had one it got corrupted returned it had the other one they worked for about eight days combined I didn't even care to return it after the second one I just said I don't want to keep getting these you know now maybe you're a reserved type gamer and you don't move around at all with your controller they might be fine for you but for me that plug in place becomes corrupted so easy and then it either won't maintain a good contact or it won't maintain any contact I've had both with the two I had... what you need to do because it seems like all the hardwired ones are like this now is you need to go down to your local GameStop where you can look at which type of afterglow it is or just get the charge and play which is what I did... cuz I ain't got no money for Batteries either
