    I know, but I find that controller unnecessarily large and heavy, the batteries terrible (that bulky nickel battery they sell separately), the d-pad hideous, and the asymmetrical sticks uncomfortable. So yeah, no. :/

    I've been looking for an alternative, but I guess I'll still have to deal with MotionInJoy if I want a reliable (and comfortable) wireless controller.
    This is what the wife and I use now:

    The price is nice and low for a gamepad that is wireless, USB Re-chargeable (yay no batteries needed), has a rumble feature if you install the drivers but the controller functions without drivers (just no rumble). Quality wise it is surprising. It feels nice, has a good weight..not too heavy but not so light it's cheap feeling. Neither of us have had any problems with them since purchase over a year ago now.

    If you don't live in the UK and don't mind importing:

    Cost a little more but no importing needed:

    The only downside I can think of is that it does not come with the USB cable for re-charging. However, it is the same kind of cable the PS3 controllers use for recharge...so you likely have one laying around the house...and if not they are cheap to buy.
