My conclusion - good development of buttons, triggers, Digi-Pad, sticks, shoulder buttons, shape, material:
- The buttons snap pleasant; a more direct click
- The trigger to have a better resistance, can thereby be controlled precisely
- Digipad with small clicks when you operate is a good feedback; very pleasant especially in menus
- Sticks have a more homogeneous softer resistance -> precise
- Shoulder buttons are triggering from the outside; initially used to, then simply super!
- If so well in the hand as the Xbox 360 controller, but without the outstanding battery compartment
- Rumble feels softer, more precisely
- Good material; just like nubby, rubber sticks
But negative to mention are also a few points:
- The sticks wear out quickly; the zero tends with full stop in this direction to slip slightly. Who knows how long it holds at all.
- The sticks have a considerable wear, if you play a bit more stressful games. A matter of time until the are worn through.
- The outer shell is clipped and not screwed. After a while, the creaks quite grab the (stressful Games -> cramped grip -> creaking)
- The Xone the brightness of the illuminated Xbox button is controlled depending on the ambient light. In PC mode, the part seems a continuously at full brightness in the face. If you play in the twilight or dark an atmospheric game that is quite a killer!
- PC no support force feedback-Triggers
And what will please the marketing strategy? Only one waits forever on Windows Drivers and then on a Wireless Receiver? Are you crazy?
Conclusion: In the operation and the design of better controller. Unfortunately, with quality defects and a pretty, pretty sloppy marketing strategy!
