Summary:
wow...this is sad. This lame excuse of a controller stinks! First of all you may be saying that i must have worn down the motor. half the time i didnt even use the air and when i did i put it on low. The air wasnt my problem tho. The problem is that after about 30 hours the buttons start to go. My left trigger doesnt work anymore. Also, the buttons are really loose. and o ya the rumble feels like the controller is going to fall apart. sometimes the rumble doesnt stop so u have to restart the console. Very dissapointed!!!!!!!!!!

Summary:
The controller was pretty good. A bit smaller than the original Xbox controllers.

But, like the other reviewer, I started having a lot of issues with one of the buttons getting stuck such that it became unusable.

I even opened it up hoping it was just dirty or something, but there isn't a way to fix it or clean it.

The cord was of decent length, unlike the one on the replacement controller I bought. (I've since gone wireless.)

Summary:
I can't understand all the 5.0 ratings i see ???Are guy's rating this game pad after only one day's use ??? I thought the sound of a controller that had a built in fan to keep my hands dry when playing sounded great so i went out and purchased 2 of them. At first i thought to myself THIS IS THE GREATEST CONTROLLER EVER!!!! After about a week i noticed that the strength of the fan had died down some and then the A button started to stick on one of the controllers. I thought i just got a bum controller but then i noticed the other controller started doing the same thing and that the problem with the A button sticking kept getting worse and worse on both controllers to the point where you could no longer use them! I took both controllers back and recieved a refund.

Summary:
I was very pleased with this controller. Being the same price as the Standard and S controller, I said what the heck lets try this one out. Dont let the looks fool you though. It looks very heavy and bulky in the package but it feels comfortable and the buttons are easy for your hands to reach. When i got home and took it out of the package, i was surprised how light it was. When you play, the fan's not annoying, although the A,X,Y, and B buttons are a little loose, they dont affect gameplay. If you like the original controller's white and black buttons you'll like this.

Summary:
I always found the original monster size controllers quite good at what they do and did not really consider after market parts. Then the OEM S-controller came out and made me think about an upgrade? I passed on the price, didn't think it was really worthwhile.
A couple of months ago I was in the mall and they had an EB sponsored area of console games. Being a gamer, I naturally had to go see what was what and to test out the different games. There were a lot of PS2 displays and I picked up the air-flo and played. At the time I thought, cool idea takes care of that gross sweat problem of shared controllers. As I moved thru the array of games I noticed that all controllers had this fan feature and did not feel grimey. Hmmm...wonder if they made one for XBOX? Onto the XBOX section and same style of controllers; abit of Mortal Kombat and Splinter Cell etc.
While I did not immediately proceed into the EB store and purchase one it definitely left an impression on me. So came the period of shopping and looking at accessories at the usual spots. Best Buy, Circuit City, EB, Kaybee, etc. A couple of weeks later I saw this controller for $25 at CompUSA, considering the $35 or more every where else, I considered it bargin to try it out at home.
