This controller is wonderful! I didn't want to blow $70 on a modded OEM controller, so this was the perfect alternative.

PROS

-Nice design

-LEDS on both handles

-3 modes for rapid fire

-rapid fire can be programmed to more that one button

-8ft of cable

-Works great for modern warfare 2

-Plug and play!

CONS

-Awkwardly bulky; feels weird in your hands at first, but you get used to it fast

-Cant attach a chatpad to it

-In Call of duty: world at war, the semi auto weapons will fire automatic, but at a very slow fire rate (Due to coding in the game)

-People will talk a bunch of smack and send you hateful msgs, calling you a hacker (Thats okay though, its hilarious!)

Build Quality: *** (A little too bulky)

Design: **** (Looks very nice)

Functionality: ***** (programmable to almost every button, and multiple buttons)

Overall, i give this controller a 4/5. Its a great tool to own in your favorite game!

Well,i wandered around amazon for a bit looking for a replacement for my madcatz controller[ the crummy thing's joysticks were getting uncallibrated and had a big RB issue.]

This controller got to me a couple days ago,suprisingly faster than i expected.my first impressions were,that the controller is a bit thick.depending on how you hold a controller,you might have problems with this,but it wasn't an issue for me.

The triggers are also a bit thick,and take a bit of force to fully pull.luckily,they only have to be yanked about halfway down,not even that,to get the buggers to work.The bumpers aren't as large as the ones on my last controller,but they work and are very easy to hit/activate,so always a plus for me.

hm,if i had to make some lists for this thing it would look like this..

PROS

+turbo function

+easy to hit bumpers

+larger triggers

+joysticks work with little force,and don't feel like they'd give if pushed excessively

CONS

-triggers take a bit of force to fully press in

-controllers thickness can make it odd to hold

-the lights activated by the controllers turbo warm up the grips to suprisingly temperatures if left on for a long time[took ~4 hrs for it to get to that point though]

overall though,if i had the cash,i'd get another one of these bad boys.

i was actually pretty happy about this order. its worth the money i paid for it wich is for teh turbo setting since i didnt feel like cutting up my $60 controller jsut to mod it like this and being able to pick how fast the contoller is is also a plus since some games cant register the highest setting.

+pros

-progamable speed

-turbo setting (duh)

Cons-

-the design of the controller is ...Chunky.. what i meen is that it doesnt fit snugly in your hand and feels weird.

-it doesnt feel solid and feels like it whants to break in your hands.

-the controllpad and directional pad are not the best.

other thoughts-

it is a wired controller wich i wouldnt count as a con or pro it depends on your preference since it is able to plug and play on a computer wich is really nice. also since it is wired it does not guzzle batteries wich if your an avid gamer can become costly

works better than most modded controllers out there shoots very fast and the LEDs are cool to look at while changing modes .

I'm just going to keep it simple.

Reasons not to buy this controller:

1) Very stupid controller design. Grips claw into you, hurting your hands big or small. Thumbsticks are convex and plastic without any bumps (making it extremely hard to keep your thumbs accurate).

2) The turbo fire goes off very slowly compared to any other turbo controller-- It also sometimes jams your gun from firing in First Person Shooters.

3) Controller parts are made extremely cheap. I opened my controller up because a trigger physically jammed after 5 minutes of use, and there isn't much holding ANYTHING together.

4) It's Datel. It's a crap company to begin with, with a crap reputation for making crap products.

In Summary: When Datel was making this controller, evidently QUALITY IS OBVIOUSLY THE LAST THING THEY HAD IN MIND FOR IT. Thanks for reading.

I bought this controller in spite of other reviews that I had read, and I regret it. After using it for only an hour my hands began to cramp. It only "looks" like it's close to the feel of an OEM controller but the button spacing is horrible and the entire controller feels very foreign. Perhaps if the design had been better my review would also have been more up beat, but the design of a controller and the sensitivity of the buttons are everything. Both of these categories get a 3/10. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!
