Our take on the Microsoft Controller for Xbox 360 - Black

The official Microsoft wireless controller for the Xbox 360, the standard pad that shipped with the console. It has two analog sticks, a transforming D-pad on later revisions, and a 2.4 GHz wireless link to the console through the guide button. It suits anyone keeping an Xbox 360 or a PC setup running on the old pad. Against third-party pads it is the reference for fit and stick feel, but it lacks the Bluetooth and share button of the Xbox One and Series controllers.
