5.0 out of 5 stars Halo Reach Controller 2010, August 30, 2010

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars

Microsoft has done the Halo franchise it's due with this accessory. From the box to the little extras (i.e. the Covenant Banshee avitar prop). As with all offical Microsoft licensed controllers, this one is very solid and has a good feel, especially with the fiish they have given the controller. The finish has a very subtle texture to it on the sliver parts(more so then the standard controller) that gives it a bit better grip. The overall looks are just gorgeous for a controller. The silver matte finish and the subtle black detail lines go perfectly. Also the black buttons, control configuration and battery cover add to the looks very well. The crome "X" button is just icing on the cake.

Now, it has been years since I have purchased a new controller, so it just may be a lack of comparison, but the controller felt a little extra responsive in the "D" pad and the sticks. You will have to judge that for yourself.

Finally, the extras. First, the controller comes with 2 Duracell batteries to power it up and then there is the the exclusive Covenant Banshee avitar prop. I have to admitt I play with the xbox avitar from time to time but it is not over important to me, but I have to admit the Banshee flying around your avitar, while "you" are holding the new Reach controller, is pretty cool.

Over all I am very, very pleased with this controller and feel the money for this controller was well spent. If you are like me and have not purchased a new controller for some time, now is the time, you will not be disappointed.

This controller is one sexy looking thing, the black glossy ancients and the pattern just makes it look stunning, and makes me feel proud to play Reach with it. The only thing other than the design that gets this product a five star, is the one thing that truly matters.... It does in FACT work with the older 360 models

First off, I'm a fan, but I'll try to maintain moderation.

Aesthetically, it's amazing. Metallic grey with black accents on the top and bottom, with black triggers and battery cover.
With a few well-painted lines it gives a feeling of an actual piece of equipment. If only the face buttons were all black...
In my hands, it's another different beast. The paint is matte-finished so it feels smooth and dry.
And dare I say the D-pad feels a bit better. I was able to navigate the dashboard left and right without going up/down by accident.
The case is somewhat reusable. The clamshell is good by itself but it's just as quick to put the cardboard and outer shell back in.
It's so pretty I'm gonna have to wait three more weeks to finally use it!
