Very simple and reliable. Has made certain games I love to play on PC so much more enjoyable. Even emulated games from the old-school or remakes from the SNES/PS1 2 era. But there are many modern games that fit the bill as well (and i say this as someone who is a ride or die mouse %26 keyboard aficionado). I simply plugged in the cable to my front USB port on my PC and also connected the other to the controller (beware, you may have to push harder than you expect. Be certain you're plugging it in the correct way and then press down hard into the controller port until you hear a satisfying *click*.) And perhaps the best part? It already maps all the buttons appropriately as soon as you load your game. Of course you can change them, but overall, the experience is minimal as well as flexible. Oh yeah, and perhaps the most outstanding part is this: it feels like a tank and is obviously well made. Plus, the orange and black camo pattern is really rad. I hope my review has been helpful!
