Strengths: Sturdy construction. USB keyboard can be unplugged from base. Works okay for online play.
Weakness: Buttons didn't work when first received. Heavy.
I have mixed emotions about the Logitech Netplay Controller. While the controller is pretty good, the reliability of the product is suspect. When I first received the controller, the buttons (circle, X and square) were stuck. After searching the web, I found out that this was a common problem created in manufacturing. After unscrewing 20 screws and re-seating the buttons properly, everything was back to normal.
So, now that it works, is it any good? For the most part, yes. The controller fits my hands fairly well; however I think that people with small hands would have problems using the shoulder buttons and the joystick. The keyboard has normal size keys for the letters, but it shrunk the other keys (numbers, tab, etc.) to fit in the spacing. This can be aggravating to touch-typists. As for gameplay, it does the job. It is servicable for a keyboard and an online controller. However, I always go back to a normal controller if I am not playing online.

Interesting Product
Strengths: Keyboard detaches for solo use and has a separate connection. Controller on same unit makes navigating games selection screen easy w/o a separate controller.
Weakness: Dont like the controller (my preference, I like the standard one) but not really a weakness.
All in all, great buy. Bought this for FPS (not used to the controller aiming). Works perfect for me and the built in controller is nice for doing things other than shooting people. A solo keyboard would have been cheaper, but the added controller is nice.
