connectivity issues:
I've never had difficulties with connecting wireless controllers (hand-held and wireless racing wheels) to my Xbox 360. I bought the black model because I wanted a black one even though it was $10 more than the sale price of a white controller - the cost of being different I guess. Anyway... had to return it 'cause it doesn't work. The good old white ones work just fine so don't waste your money.

Same old controller as the first one, just black.:
Nothing different here - the same quality controller you'd find if you purchased the white one. XBOX 360 controllers are very comfortable and aren't a hassle to use like the original XBOX was. To connect the controller to your 360, hold in the XBOX guide button on the front and the four quadrants will blink then the one that you are assigned to (player 1 if nobody else is playing) will just light up.

Great pad, terrible manufacturing:
The 360 Wireless controllers, while great, seem to suffer from the same shoddy quality control as the main consoles themselves. When they work, they're fantastic controllers. When they don't, and bloody randomly, they don't, they're expensive paperweights with a flashy green light on the front. Two separate wireless pads I have purchased just plain refuse to connect to any 360. Microsoft however is great about replacing them. So yeah, great product, shoddy QC.

The same:
It's the exact same controller, just a different colour. I don't think the previous 1 star rating is indicative of the product.
