Customer Review: Great design, as expected
It’s rather a given that first party controllers are the best choice for expanding your set. This wireless controller has shown no qualms in connection or reliability. It has performed as one would expect. I’m not sure what else can be said about it. It performs as well as the controller included with the system. The black color scheme is my preferred skin and it looks like quality overall.
Customer Review: I love it!
I read a review on another site that asked why they should even make a pink controller, and I think that’s pretty obvious. There are more people who play video games nowdays than just guys, and we want to be represented too! I bought this controller #1 because we needed more controllers than the two that came with the 360, #2 because I wanted something that was exclusive to me when we have people over for gaming (usually guys) that no one but me would use, and #3 because it’s cute and with my decalgirls sticker on it expresses my style to anyone who sees it. I gotta say this controller is way better looking in real life than it looks in the picture. It was almost a shame to cover up so much of it with my decal but I had ordered the sticker especially for it and together it looks great too. It’s a little lighter pink than the pictures show and not so glaringly cotton candy. I really like it and it does keep those dirty guy fingers off of my play space. I highly recommend it for all those girly girl albeit hardcore gamers out there.

Customer Review: completely trash
Constantly breaks down, have to reboot. I’ve owned this router for 3 months and have 3 months of on and off performance - keep away!
Customer Review: Not too bad but not great either
I purchased this router 4 years ago and set it up in my office. Plugged in fine, worked right away, i really didn’t use the VPN function so this review will not cover it. I loved the option to block content by keyword or by website name, the communication speed was great, no problems at all until recently where it stopped assigning new DHCP addresses, and within a couple of hours i lost the ability to assign new static addresses. Mind you there were only 4 computers on the network. a Call to the tech support yielded no result since the router was out of warranty. Upgrading the firmware didn’t help, hardware reset didn’t help, Buying a new router solved the issue. Honestly though i strongly believe that linksys’s quality has been going down lately. I own several linksys routers and they all have at least one annoying issue.
