Simply The Best  |
|
Nintendo have designed this controller with the utmost care and attention.It fits into your hand perfectly and after a few minutes of play you forget that it is in your hands giving you more time to think about the game you are playing.More expensive than any other controller, yes but when I tell that my original purple controller has outlived two other makes it makes sense to pay that little extra!!!

What controller? |
This controller...the one in your hand...This controller is just so comfortable, its sometimes easy to forget your holding it. The buttons are placed perfectly, and I mean perfectly, so that they are just where you want them. At first, the B button seems small and too difficult to hit properly, but it soon "grows" and youll wonder why you thought it was a difficult button in the first place. The only problem is perhaps the START button, which can be difficult to press at time, if you have short thumbs at least.
The shoulder pads are analogue, meaning you can kind of "squeeze" them, but at the bottom they have a very nice, digital "click", allowing for more commands in-game.
The analogue sticks are also placed wonderfully, especially for First-Person-Shooters, and the D-Pad is wonderfully clear and definite, unlike the X-Box pad.
I really dont know how anyone can complain about this joypad, but you should ignore them.
I dont know if I can stress enough just how comfortable this controller really is, its so soft and gentle, but yet firm. The PS2 controller is good, but this is just fantastic. An extension of your arm almost...

Worst controller ever!  |
I had CTS a few years ago, and I typically like consoles, because they have controllers that dont involve mouses, and their games map easily to a few buttons and perhaps a couple analog sticks. Much less stress on my hands than a computer. This controller makes the worst XBox controllers look like a great ergonomic controller. What is bad about it: 1. You have to twist your wrists too much to press the two triggers.
2. You have to press each trigger at least 1/2 inch... and they take significant force to push.
3. The main button is way huge, you have to press it around 1/4 inch, and it takes significant force to push... in digital mode you seem to need to press it half way before it registers.
4. The start button makes the XBox start button seem well designed and well positioned.
5. The right analog stick is too far down... but I guess it is easy to reach if you position your hands as per complaint 1.
(6. That Z button is just ill placed. At least it is digital and you dont have to push it far.) Buy this controller only if you enjoy repetitive strain injuries.
