Review on SPEEDLINK TORID Gamepad Wireless for PC/PS3, black by Micha Maciejowicz ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are several shortcomings, but, it corresponds to the norm.

If you want to make a comparison, then when I used to play video games on my Xbox 360, I played with a gamepad that had a cord attached to it. If you want to play video games on your computer, then you should get the original Xbox 360 gamepad since it will work much better with a cord. The fact that it is wireless does not grant it any significant advantages, as the most important aspect is the responsiveness of the buttons, and in the Speedlink, these aspects are manifestly subpar in comparison to those of the original. Why exactly am I going through with this evaluation? The difference between the Sonivsky gamepad and the PlayStation 4 console that I just purchased is like that of heaven and earth, to put it mildly. Playing video games on a legitimate PlayStation 4 controller is a far more enjoyable experience than doing so with this knockoff since the real thing has noticeably less "dead zones." Purchase just the authentic product from him. The 360 version with a cable is far superior. And I can only recommend this gamepad to people who enjoy fighting games; nonetheless, even for such people, its buttons aren't very sturdy, and they can wear out very rapidly if you play them frequently. After a year of consistent use, in my opinion, it will undoubtedly be dead. And only the first model has a chance of lasting longer than a year; the control stick may become detached from it with time, but the other buttons on the gamepad should remain intact.

Pros
  • Compatible with PS3 and PC.
Cons
  • The triggers and sticks are obviously the most important aspects of it. The fact that they have such a vast dead zone is, in essence, the design's primary flaw. In addition, I feel the need to mention that if you have large hands, it is very likely that you may destroy something. It is not anything I would intentionally break, however a friend of mine was able to make the RB button malfunction. The fact that the individual plays Pro Evolution Soccer explains why he did not release this button (given that in the game, pressing this button causes the player to start sprinting). In addition, my pal is showing a lot of anxiety. The button is pressed, but there is no guarantee that it will reply to the response. To summarize, for the five years that I've owned it, it has maintained its charge, but it's not accurate to claim that I use it on a consistent basis. During the past three and a half years, I have used it on an average of seven to fourteen days every year, which is roughly equivalent to one year. The initial few minutes of life were marked by a greater degree of activity. It is still capable of holding a charge, despite the fact that his native cord has been severed. I get my power from the charger that formerly belonged to a Motorola phone.
