Processing:
The packaging proves the first look very nice but quite difficult to open. But the gamepad if you have it unpacked tedious, is very good in the hand, because the plastic housing appears to be coated and thus a slight impression leaves from pleasant rubber, so you can enjoy better grip while playing. The stick, which one would probably slip fastest, have been additionally studded. The processing can therefore be quite rate as well. Negative striking in processing is that RT and LT buttons well be audible noises, while not as loud but a PS2 gamepad are by the size and somehow give the outcrop of the keys an uncertain feeling of itself. Since the keys but in the endurance test of FIFA 12 were doing their job well, there is no penalty here.
Function:
After a short time conspicuous when plugged into the computer, powered by a 64-bit Windows 7 system: The gamepad is recognized immediately and is within maybe 10 seconds installed (Plug n Play). What at first but bothered me: only a quarter of the "luminous circle" to the "Mode" - button is lit - this circumstance was by no key and the software side initially not change. But all function keys actually work properly and some quality waiting here on a. Because of other cheap gamepads I was used to having a mild rash to a control axis / a joystick, has been registered as a full eruption. As registered on the expensive gamepads Techsolo but how severely I push the joystick in one direction - and with astonishing precision that you indeed may well expect from today's gamepad.
Terms of functionality in games:
Negative reviews on Amazon and elsewhere reported then that cheaper gamepads put it simply does not speak the same language as an original XBOX 360 pad from Microsoft and thus in games would be useless or the key assignment would be completely diffused and the right joystick would be not at all recognized. Positive reviews keep it there against: there is an extremely simple program, which allows you to integrate a kind of "interpreters" into play. The tool I used is x360ce and legal freeware that allows you within 2 minutes and without any use of brains (it used this really never learned as a minimum level of understanding) to configure a complete controller can then just the 2 of the program created files have to push in the Games folder. There are other freeware. It is often said in the net, x360ce would only work with Games for Windows. But even with the games from the espionage program Origin as FIFA 12, it works perfectly. With these remarks would at least proven that you can always use the pad in each game by the original controller also works (test this on the PC - as the Microsoft Xbox, the configuration is Windows files probably there strike).
Conclusion:
An affordable gamepad without marginal error that would justify a rate. The long-term durability of the device, I could not even be considered in the test, because I have recently purchased your. Anyone who is not too shy to spend 2 minutes in the configuration, which receives a great gamepad.
