==Introduction== A games controller is probably the most important add on any games player will ever buy. These controllers have continued to evolve over the years and now, with seemingly more buttons and knobs than your average car dashboard, the latest controllers really do need a certain degree of skill to use. Long gone are the days where you had up, down ,left and right with 2 fire buttons. This review is of the Xbox 360 wireless controller. Although the controller comes in both black and white, they are identical in performance so this review will apply to either colour. ==A Tour of the Controller== First impression of the ...  Read the complete review

Prior to owning my xbox 360, I had both the Playstation 1 and 2 and I had grown accustomed to the playstation controller. One of the main set backs for me was that it was hard to get used to the controller when I first got my xbox 360. First up, it is much heavier then the Playstation controller even when that has the heavier dual shock vibration "rumble pack" feature added. The design of the controller is more ergonomical then the playstation, points of your hands wont hurt as much after a few hours gameplay. But again it all seems to add to the weight. So it has the standard four multicoloured dialoge fourway buttons that you`ll be used to seeing ...  Read the complete review

When I first purchased my Xbox 360 it came with one wired, and one wireless controller, to begin with, I decided to use the wired controller because it meant less effort than having to find new batteries every day, but after a few weeks of continuously tripping over the cable, I decided to use the wireless controller, which is much heavier due to the fact is has a battery pack.

But in terms of performance, the two controllers are basically the same, both offer a great ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who has an Xbox will be familiar with the Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller. I remember when I first switched from Playstation to Xbox. The new controllers seemed bulky and difficult to operate. I particularly had trouble with the shoulder and trigger buttons, which in my opinion, were not in a suitable positions. However, after a while my hands and fingers began to become familiar with where to tap and before long in what second nature. When I purchased my new Xbox it came with two wireless controllers. Much better than these wired controllers, though they do need two AA batteries to opeate. However, a couple of weeks ago the unthinkable happened. On ...  Read the complete review

To date the Xbox 360 controller holds, in my opinion at the very least, the most superior design. Owning both a PS3 and a 360 the differences in the controllers have become starkly apparent, with Microsoft's subtle alterations proving to be worthwhile. Let's commence with the layout. Microsoft place the left analog stick in the top left, above the D-Pad. The sticks are therefore not parallel providing an extremely comfortable grip. The surfaces of the analog sticks are concave as well as including four rubber grips to further support your thumbs. Logically, the triggers are also concave allowing your fingers to rest without slipping. In the top ...  Read the complete review
