Review on Gamepad Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows, black by Adam Nikodem ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

To be honest, I am wary of Microsoft products, namely X-BOX. If I take a prefix, then from Sony. But Microsoft's gamepad is something! Before that, there was a Logitech Rumblepad 2 gamepad, a good, solid gamepad and nothing more. With games sharpened on the X-BOX worked incorrectly. I had to either reconfigure the controls in the game or use a special utility for the gamepad, which is inconvenient. And yes, he is heavy. Therefore, when choosing a new gamepad between Logitech F710 (analogue of Rumblepad, but with improved perception of games under X-BOX) and Microsoft Xbox 360, the only question was Microsoft's availability in stores, unfortunately it is not officially supplied and is sold in few places. The user experience is excellent. The left stick is located on the same horizontal line with multi-colored buttons, which is convenient. The RT and LT triggers are smooth, in some games the variability in pressing the triggers can come in handy. The horns of the gamepad are long compared to Logitech, it's nice to hold in your hands. Of all the gamepads that I have ever used, and there were about 10 of them (Thrustmaster's, Saitek'i, Sony, etc.), this one is perhaps the most successful. Communication at a distance of 1.5 meters is stable, it disappears if you try to cover the gamepad with body parts as much as possible. In this case, the game is automatically paused. When choosing a gamepad, I was also guided by the possibility of changing batteries. Microsoft XBOX 360 has this feature. Ansmann 2850 mAh batteries can last for several dozen gaming evenings. The only drawback is that it is not easy to get thick batteries out of the battery compartment; when installed in the compartment, they lie back to back. Otherwise, this gamepad is a great choice.

Pros
  • 1. Perfect compatibility with many games on the computer. 2. Lies like a glove in the hands. Not heavy - hands do not get tired and not too light. 3. The appearance of the device, I wanted to take it white and I do not regret it. Looks stylish.
Cons
  • 1. Perhaps only the difficulty with installing drivers in Windows 7. Also, when turned off, it is defined as an unknown device. When turned on, the problem disappears. In general, this does not affect the operation of the device.
