Review on Gamepad (gamepad) wired for Xbox 360 and PC, black by Mateusz Komorowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Normal product, but wanted more for the money.

It will do for 899, I think, otherwise why then gamepads for 6.5k. I'm not familiar with gamepads in this price range, so I can't adequately evaluate them. In my life, I used only PS3 and PS4 gamepads quite tightly. They are good, yes, and the price tag was appropriate. The sticks are terrible. Shooting from a bow in Skyrim or from cannons without VATS in falls is another challenge. (Well, in some century, I will not create a stealth archer :) ). Melee weapons can be used normally. The sticks here behave almost equivalently to WASD due to "sticking" to the axes (not physical, but software). Those. if you move the stick, for example, along the vertical axis up, then everything is fine. And if you move to the right, then for a very long time the program position of the stick will remain exactly on the vertical axis. After some distance, the position will unstick and will correctly follow the stick. But this is until we get closer to the dead zone around the diagonal, which is at 45 degrees between the vertical and horizontal axes. Then sticking again, but to this diagonal. So all over the circle, which, in fact, is a square (see screenshot). The zones of correct operation between sticking are so insignificant that they can be neglected, and we can say that the sticks are incredibly bad / does not work", and even worse "came/did not come". You can get by if you want a gamepad, but there is no way to get yourself the original from Xbox. My hands have long been tired of the keyboard and mouse, I wanted a gamepad. Even with such sticks, it’s a pleasure to play now, but if replacing them gives fruit, then generally a victory. The rest of the cons can be fixed too, but I don't care about them (for now, anyway). : Played 41 hours of Skyrim with native sticks - not bad, you can play and have fun. But new sticks came from Ali (100/pair) and replaced - just gorgeous. Feels right in games. "Victory" means.

Pros
  • Looks good, nice plastic, feels good.
Cons
  • LB and RB click very loudly; clicking on the sticks is loud; ABXY tight; the sticks have huge dead zones in the middle, as well as close to the vertical and horizontal axes and the diagonals between these axes; very weak vibration and the vibration motors themselves whistle more than they vibrate.

For the price, this is a great option.
