Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - game pad

This the wireless controller for all xbox 360 consoles regardless of whether they are the arcade console or the newest elite console. This controller will work on all the consoles. The controller itself is just as important as the console as without the console you are kind of stuck and can't do much. This controller is also wireless! Wireless: I remember when i had my PS2 and PS1 and had all those wires dragged across the room and getting all ...
...complain about them being left everywhere and wire becoming a hazard. Now that is no longer a problem with the new xbox controllers coming completely wireless. I can now sit where I want in my room and not have to worry about the wire getting caught or stretching across to my desk with the controller in my hand and suddenly being jerked back by those annoying wires. The wireless system involves 2.4Ghz technology (not too sure what that means but ...

...of these weren’t designed by Microsoft but some are, even looking at this I could not compare any other controller I have used for the xbox360 or on other consoles do no where near match the style and grace of the xbox360 wireless controller. == Advantages & Disadvantages == Looking at the advantages of this controller are many, the first one is its wireless which gives you the flexibility to move around without the constraints of wiring, which to ...
...user constantly purchasing batteries, although Microsoft have came up with a solution for this in the form of a rechargeable battery pack however this does cost a small amount to purchase. A second disadvantage is the fact that most of the additional controller addons cost money, e.g the headset and messenger keypad, which sadly weren’t included in the original package, but oh well you cant have everything and for what you get it’s already an amazing ...

...It's not very often that Microsoft make somethings that's both stylish and stable but they definitely have here. The feel of the controller is also very comfortable i would say it's a one size fits all type. === Specifications === (Taken from Microsoft) * 2.4GHz wireless technology with 30-foot range * Lag-free play * Integrated headset port for Xbox LIVE play * Adjustable vibration feedback for longer battery life * New left and right shoulder ...
...* The Xbox Guide Button at the centre of the controller gives you quick access to all your favourite Xbox 360 system activities === The cost? === I would say the average price of a wireless controller now would be around the £30 mark and looking around from the main retails websites that seems to be the truth. You can get it for £29.99 with free delivery from play.com or you could get it from Game if you have a reward card for the same price. Alternatively ...

...look of the console itself Microsoft have gone in for a redesign of the original XBox controller. Like the console itself the first thing that you notice about the controller is the switch from the black colouring of the old XBox controller to the pure white of the 360's. Of course while this new colouring makes them look quite sleek it is a colour that shows the slightest specks of dust and dirt. The other obvious change is in the weight of the ...
...in some rechargeable or the Microsoft plug and play rechargeable battery pack (£14.99). I still think with the cost of the console and the controllers that Microsoft could throw these in but then that would reduce the amount of additional revenue they can make. Once the batteries are in and ready to go you hit the Menu button in the middle of the controller and it all comes to live. A lot of wireless controllers made by third parties to work with ...

...download the drivers off the Microsoft site and you can use it in many games, most Games For Windows support this controller straight away even changing the button names in the game so for example it will say "press A to continue" instead of "press enter". Issues The controller does look slightly worse than the wireless pad, the grey band on the bottom of the controller is a shiny silver on the wireless variation and the analogue sticks feel like ...
...buttons is good apart from the D-pad which is dreadful and unresponsive often failing to recognize diagonal presses. This issue remains on all variations of the 360 controller. The pad is also marketed in two ways which is confusing and unnecessary, firstly as the Xbox 360 Wired Controller and as the Common Controller. There is no difference apart from the packaging so I fail to understand why they did this. It is also wired so if your always getting ...
