Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Combat Controller for Xbox 360 - Camo

Comment: All I can tell is that I bought this for my grandson and when he plays with this controller he is in another world. He thoroughly enjoys it and he has had no problems at all. Five stars for this item!!

Comment: i obtained this product and attempted to hook it up with a wired microphone, and when i did this i had a lot of bad buzzing sounds and people were getting feedback from me thus making it hard to play any game or even communicate with anyone.

Comment: I was looking for an after-market Xbox 360 controller,
such as the ones available for the Wii.

I thought I had found one.

the pretty:
> it lights up, with is only for the bling-bling factor, but it does make it easier to spot in the dark.
> a long USB cord.
> silicone rubberized grips

the ugly:
> poor quality: there is a slight creep in the controls. If you place the unit on a table, hands-free... mine will slowly start a creeping movement to the left. for a sub $50 controller, seriously? i mean this thing looks solid, but I have found it to be only skin deep.
> you cannot attach the snap-on keyboard to this controller.
> trigger response seems delayed after continued use: while i really can't say this is it for sure, but lately the response time on shooting or even nothing happening after pulling the trigger is a concern. I switched back the microsoft wireless controller and felt much better response time.

bottom line:
too expensive for wired, back-lighted controller.

Comment: I'll start off by saying the controller feels awesome in your hand. It in fact feels so good I hate that I dislike it so much. The problems are:

#1, the space between the RB and the RT buttons are too wide. You really do have to grip the controller with one finger dedicated to both buttons. I can't get used to having my middle finger be my trigger finger. I need one finger access to both. This may or may not be a gripe for you.

#2, The extra buttons they put on the back are too high and inside. So from point #1 your pointer and middle fingers have to rest on those two RB, RT buttons. So to access this extra button you have to use your ring finger to reach up high on the back and push it. It works as advertised but makes no sense.

#3, To run in this game you have to push down on the left stick and click it (L3 button they call it). You cannot click the L3 button while moving forward, the controller just won't let you. In the normal, centered position you can click L3 all day. Well there is a way to bypass that issue, just use the extra button on the back to sprint but wait.... you have to go back to point #2 now.

It could have been a great controller. The feel is right, the lights are cool, the triggers are amazing and I would have loved to used them but those 3 problems were big dealbreakers for me.

Comment: I have to start by saying that I prefer wired controllers. I would rather not have to use batteries or chargers and I like the full vibration only wired controllers produce. I needed a new wired controller and I love MW2 so this controller was very intriguing. I will first start with the cons.

CONS: The only problem I have with this controller is the button mapping on the back of the controller. The buttons are awkwardly placed and don't work all the time.

These are more personal to me and my hands: This controllers left and right thumb sticks have a slick surface opposed to the standard controllers' rubber surface. I took a while for me to get used to this but when I did it was fine.

Also I have big hands and I have to hold the controller differently than I do the standard. It is not uncomfortable but again might take some getting used to.

PROS: The thumb sticks (and all buttons) are extremely sensitive. Even the slighted of movements are detected. This is great so quick sniping. I also have better accuracy with my grenade tosses. I believe my shooting has improved.

Feels great in your hands, Looks wicked, Great Amazon price. I have already recommended it to my fellow comrades.
