Horipad EX Turbo Xbox 360 Controller Blue

 (15 customer reviews)

We can all agree that the D-Pad on the original Xbox 360 controller is not good, making all those Xbox Live Arcade games harder than they should be, especially fighting games like Street Fighter II. This Hori Controller has a much better D-Pad, and that alone makes it worth the purchase for just playing the arcade games.

The face buttons are very solid, and each can be used with the turbo function. The turbo works perfectly, but It does not work with shoulder buttons. Speaking of which, the shoulder buttons are the worst part of the controller. The triggers are smaller, and pressing them in does not feel as right as the original controller. The bumpers click in nicely, but are not as long as the original controller's.

Basically, this controller is not recommended for shooters, since that genre revolves around the triggers so much. However, it does work really well with arcade games that use the D-Pad and face buttons, and I would prefer this controller over the...Read more

With the fact that it's rare to even find a turbo controler for the Xbox360 I think that the hori controler works well.
Great for the good old classic arcade games and todays fast paced fighting games such as D.O.A. & Virtua Fighter 5. Also found it very useful for games such as the Dynasty Warriors series,Fantastic Four, D.W.-Gundam, Conan, Beuwolf & etc. Now on some of these games may requrie you to hold buttons down for certain combos etc. But unless it's a move or task you need to complete the stage or etc. The speed that the Hori controler releases will make up for charge attacks. Now, I would not recommend this controler for F.P.S. games due to the fact the top buttons are a tad smaller than the orignal xbox360 controllers. Also the top buttons work fine but did not seem as smooth as the original xbox360 controllers. If you're a fighting, action, hack & slash videogamer then this controler is a must have! No more finger cramping when fighting in a survival match or huge...Read more

This controller is awesome for any shooting/casting games that have the repetitive pressing of a certain button. Being able to hold down on the desired button helps to reduce stress to the controller. Even though it seems like a lazy man's controller, it helps you shoot a lil faster in games. We've had ours for almost 6 months and some of the buttons are starting to stick, the speed "a" button application was always a hit or miss. So for the price, not too happy with the controller and it's longevity.
