Since the opening of the carton, one is surprised by the quality of the joystick. More pretty, she has a much better finish than the older generation of joysticks Microsoft (Xbox 360) and is more ergonomic. In weight, it is rather heavy for a joystick despite its 265 grams, which it may be necessary to add the weight of the batteries.
Its dimensions of 10.5 x 15.4 x 6.4 cm are what adapts to all persons, including those who have large hands. In comparison, the official PS3 controller Dual Shock 3 from Sony is much smaller (some do not like) and lighter.
You can connect the wireless controller xbox one either wired (Micro USB cable is supplied) of the same name on a console or PC, wirelessly or on Xbox One (for this, the controller requires 2 AAA batteries).
It is super comfortable to handle and does not tire the hands and fingers, certainly thanks to its size and ergonomics. The buttons and 2 analog sticks respond well.
The Control Stick to 8 directions in real cross (unlike that of the Xbox 360), yet responds better than the PS3 controller. Ultra precise, comfortable and close enough to the design of the old 8-bit console controllers, it provides unparalleled playability whatever the type of games including retro games (oldies) type NES, SNES, Gameboy, Sega Genesis, etc .
I lai tested on PC. To install it just plug the stick into a USB port. First observation in Windows 7: it is not recognized by the system directly contrary to the instructions quindique (Windows does not find the drivers). We must download the correct drivers for their system architecture (32 or 64 bit) and install them. There it is automatically recognized and ready for use.
Conclusion
This handle is a real surprise. Of all the models tested i (Dual Shock 3, Xbox 360, and other Logitech RumblePad 2 of dubious manufacturing), this is by far the one that brings the best comfort and better grip Universal hand in video games. If you frequently play the old games to ugly démulateurs this is undoubtedly the best controller available today. Yes it is expensive but worth every penny. A safe bet.
