So this was the controller I have been missing for so long!
Ok for a while now I needed another controller badly, so I went to gamestop and bought one of theirs to tide me over. That was a big mistake, it had more problems straight out of the box then I had ever seen in a controller. So I started looking around and have always wanted to try a Hori pad. So I found this little gem and compared it to the other pad that is about 20 dollars more then this one.
I can say I have gotten my money's worth with this controller. Just forget about the other one, it's just not worth it.
Lets look at the pro's
Pros:
Great design. This thing feels good and sturdy in your hand and once you get use to the 2 bumper buttons on the side( I seemed to always want to press them instead of B, or Y untill I was use to them)you will feel right at home. Also the sticks pop back into place nicely and have texture on the top so your thumbs dont slip off. And don't forget the D-pad, this is probably one of the best D-pads I have used in a long time, responsive, textured and just fits real nice on your thumb, Good job Hori!
Sensativity adjustment for the sticks: This is a nice feature although it does not change them a lot I could tell the difference.
Turbo button: This is awesome!!! You can use this button to make any one of the buttons have a turbo feature which offers 3 different settings, and allows you to use more then one button as turbo.
Fighting fans love the Lb and RB: This of course makes fighting games all the better when you have the buttons lined up for weak mid and strong attacks, so this set up makes it all the easier.
Xbox live mics sound real good: This was a problem for me, since one of my major complaints was that with cheaper controllers and ones that were corded, My mic always sounded like their was a buzzing or hissing noise. With the Hori, I am heard loud and clear with no interferance at all.
price: come on this thing is cheap compared to alot of controllers out their especially if it is from MS. I know it is corded and wireless controllers are great and all, but I am never really more then 10 feet away while playing so it does not bother me at all to have a cord.
The only thing I really don't like about this controller is the ugly Xbox insignia in the middle of the controller, it's just plain ugly to look at and isn't quite as big as on a ms controller.
Something to take note of to also is the ABXY buttons are a little smaller since the LB and RB buttons are on the face now, but it really is not a bad thing and only after a couple hours of play with this bad boy I was use to it.
Last thing is I have only used the controller for FPS games like borderlands, Gears 2 and modern Warfare 2. I saw in a lot of the reviews saying this controller was not real good for FPS. I can't agree with that. After I got use to the design of the controller I was pulling off head shots, and placing grenades right where I wanted them to be. It worked perfectly!!!
Great for COD MWF2 but....
I had this controller the first day, worked great as i use it only for MWF2 and let me tell you the Fal becomes a beast with the turbo. So do the pistols though you might get a few hates messages saying you are modding but of course this is an xbox licensed product so there is no concern there.
I did have major problems the second day with the controller not working with my headset which is also new. I ordered another one so hope that clears up the problem as microsoft makes the worst lasting headsets ever anyways. The controller also moves on it's own, ill be sitting there and the cursor will move up or down like 4 spots. It's odd and if the new headsets down't work with this controller then ill see what amazon will do to get me a new one.
Although a great controller and turbo controllers area pain to find, in fact this is the first one i have seen in years in stock. The old mad catz that i used before don't last and are extremely rare. Buy these before they go out of stock though.
Alright for the price
Review won't be in depth by any means. Keeping short and sweet here.
Pros:
+Great feel of the buttons
+Face Buttons response is outstanding
+Analog movement is overwhelmingly reactive.
++Turbo feature!
+The right price for the kind of controller
-If over 40, defiantly would not recommend.
+Not made by MadCatz!!
Cons
-Constant clicking sound while talking over mic
-Constantly jumping forward/or moving when not playing or idle
-
So why 3 star rating? For the price it can't be beat, but some may be put off by the erratic movement of the right analog stick and annoying clicking every two seconds while in party. I do not regret buying controller for the price. Considering there isn't much else out Amazon has available.
Whether or not you agree with my overall rating is not my concern. Just submitting my review. Happy Gaming!
