The gamepad has become a replacement for the old logitech, and while the xbox is supported in the majority of games, reassigning buttons frequently becomes more difficult than it was with the logitech gamepad, which had the reverse problem: less support, but more variability because to native programming. The benefits of it include: compatibility, high-quality construction, smooth button travel, and a lovely, calming vibe Cons: Some games do not have sufficient buttons, but there is no desire to overpay ten thousand dollars for an elite controller with four additional buttons; I would like square holes in the housing for the sticks so that I can correctly squeeze the axis, similar to what Logitech offers.
