As you can see in the very last picture I took the time to test this controller on my personal Xbox 360. It worked just fine and all of the buttons worked as well. Physically it’s a nice shape but there are some scratches here and there on the shiny black surface which is pretty common. This has a battery compartment on the back but I have no idea why. This is a wired controller and will work as soon as you plug it into your Xbox.the USB portion of the cord is included so you can plug it in and start playing. If you have any questions please ask before purchasing.
