Review on 🎮 Hori FPS Plus Gamepad by Jen Schuelke

I'll start by saying that I really wanted to like this controller. After playing for about an hour, it stayed comfortable in my hand, and while other reviewers complained about its weight, I thought it was a good thing that it was so light. The layout is nice, the "triggers" (actually just the buttons on the back because they're not analog) feel good, especially for shooters, and are generally ergonomic. I'm also blown away by people complaining about the long cord, which is nice because I'm not sitting directly in front of the TV and most cords are too short (about 3 feet). The features are really great, like a turbo button and a button under the controller that can increase sensitivity by holding it down, which can be adjusted with a toggle switch. All in all, this should be a great controller aside from its poor build quality. To be honest the circuitry on this thing must be a joke because it is faulty and within 24 hours the triggers stopped responding normally. For example, if I look at the scope in FPS while firing with the left trigger held, it randomly bounces back to the hip a few times before the scope turns back on. Also, sometimes I press the right trigger to shoot and nothing happens. I'm not used to hair triggers, so the problem isn't that I don't press them hard enough - it's just that sometimes they don't work. This controller is absolutely not worth the price. If it was maybe $20 I wouldn't worry. The phrase "you get what you pay for" is far from applicable to this gamepad. If something fails on the first day of use, then it's badly made. Just like this one.
