subject: Simple Introduction Of Xbox Controller [print this page] If you are a game enthusiast, you must want to learn something about game controller. Now here is a good chance for you to know a lot about the famous Xbox controller.
We have to admit that is Xbox controller is one of the most expensive controllers at the moment for games consoles, excluding steering wheels etc. As a standard pad for the Xbox, it will probably be used most. The main pad combines a Dreamcast themed shape with a group of buttons which are typically used by Nintendo. Above these four buttons are two transparent smaller buttons, a white one and a black one, these have no markings. The remainder of the unit includes a D-Pad, located on the lower section of the left side, and two analogue sticks, located on the lower right and the other on the top left. While these positions have some theme, the fact the sticks are in different positions is no-doubt uncomfortable.
The Back and Start buttons located in the centre lie beneath a huge Xbox logo, which looks a little tacky to be honest. The shoulder buttons, again a direct copy of the Dreamcas have a variable press. They are shaped like a trigger on a gun, and are what most shooters will use, like Halo for example.
As you can expect, the size of the pad is the largest in the group, the pad is also the heaviest. The hand grips run parallel to the pad and the positions of the buttons are seemingly random. When you first hold the pad, it feels comfortable, the button layout follows the swing of the thumb, but many have said that the analogue sticks should be in the same place. The left analogue stick is too high and the other too low, the buttons are all digital and the D-Pad is rather basic.
In short, for a massive console this is a massive pad, though is typically well built and matches the console. Therefore, if your budget is not a big problem, maybe you can enjoy the entertainment it brings for you
