This review is from: Eclipse Controller (Video Game)

I purchased this controller and was immediately dissapointed. It was large and clunky (this is from a dude with large hands). The triggers are tooo sensitive, and not ideal for games which require a bit of tension with the springs. (See ESPN NBA BASKETBALL). I like the fact that the black and white buttons are shoulder buttons. But more than anything else I wouldnt suggest it because within a few weeks the controller started to freak out and then i suddenly died out on me.

Pros
Black and white shoulder buttons
Price

Cons
Big and clunky
It feels cheap
Sensitive L+R Triggers
Stopped working

This review is from: Eclipse Controller (Video Game)

Mine look a bit different than what is shown but the placements of the START/BACK buttons are the same. The ones I got have white and black buttons above the L and R triggers and had Eclipse on the manufacturers packaging.

Overall they are good controllers. They are pretty comfortable to me but I have big hands and I love the rubber grips going along the side. The face buttons (A,B,X,Y,White,Black) all work fine but have a cheap feel to them. The L and R triggers feel just like the original XBOX controllers. The D-Pad is surprisingly good. Where the controllers hurt though is the analog sticks. Overall they work fine for most games that fall into the genres of RPG and Sports games. But when you try to play shooters like Halo, Battlefield, Ghost Recon 2 and Farcry they just do not feel precise enough. To me they just feel a little to sensitive even after changing sensitivity settings in game.

For the most part these are truly good controllers. I have been using them for 5 months now. I really cannot complain as the Hong Kong knock offs that are swarming eBay are the same price as what I paid for the Pelican brand ones. Keep your eyes out on eBay like I did and you can find good and average controllers like these cheap. I paid a mere $12.00 even for two of these.

Also the construction of the controllers are well made. The plastic molding of the shell of the controller feels very durable.
