- Used gamepad from Xbox One (model 1708): • I want to note first of all the cool design. White looks just divine! • Build quality at an excellent level, pleasantly sits in the hands, less "slippery" compared to the Xbox 360 gamepad, the buttons are pressed clearly, without play, and the triggers have a smooth stroke. • Shifters and triggers have become thicker and this has a positive effect on comfort when playing and on tactile sensations. • The sticks are taller but have the same travel range, overall (compared to the Xbox 360 controller), the caps are smaller and more textured. The movement of the sticks has become smoother (not sure if this is a positive thing). Drift and dead zones have not yet been noticed (I will ate after a while if that review) • Easy to connect. Connects via Bluetooth or micro-usb. On the Windows 10 operating system, the gamepad works right out of the box, let's talk about the rest in the cons. On iOS, it also works perfectly on bluetooth. • There is a 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack. • Pleasant vibration feedback, slightly improved over the Xbox 360 controller • D-pad is much more convenient than separate arrow keys from competitors (hello sony and nintendoboys)
- • The controller firmware can only be ated on Xbox or Win 10. On Windows 10, you need to download a dedicated app from the Microsoft Store. All this is some kind of , and why it was impossible to give the opportunity to ate the gamepad on Win 7/8 is not clear. • A little about the ease of connection. On Windows 7/8, you need to download drivers from the Xbox website. On Mac OS: it works over the wire (provided that the driver from GitHub is installed), if you have not ated the gamepad firmware; after ating the firmware of the controller, the gamepad refuses to transmit signals to the computer over the wire, although it recognizes and perceives signals and even responds with vibration. There were no problems with bluetooth with the initial firmware, but after the ate it works correctly only if you delete the binding and connect from scratch each time, otherwise all elements do not work correctly and it is impossible to play. • No built-in battery! This is a total negative for me. You should consider that accumulators/batteries add to the price of your controller. The need to steam up and look for separately high-quality batteries / batteries, if necessary, change - as for me the last century and an extra hassle. I understand that for some it will be a plus. • The d-pad didn't impress me personally, on the Xbox 360 it was more convenient. Here it became not circular, but cross-shaped, more squat - reaching for it became longer and more inconvenient. However, it is pressed more clearly and better. • The central button shines too brightly and during night gaming in some positions it can blind. • Gluttonous in terms of energy. Batteries fly away quickly, it is better to take batteries.
