What should also be bad?

One reason for the purchase of an Xbox One instead of the much more manageable PS4 Contoller were the former. PS controllers feel the direct comparison of small and unwieldy, especially for men's hands so less suitable. Disadvantage: it is not supplied battery.

Therefore, the controller is to be the equivalent supplied as original equipment, and works just as well. The device is intended for a second player because I play online for rare but offline with friends. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer games that offer such a mode (split screen), but is not the fault of the controller.

For, as seen similar device to that of the XBox 360 used, only the high-gloss trigger buttons that can now also vibrate "for themselves" (as if in a racing game during acceleration by turning the wheels), are new. It's also nice that complete illumination of the entire XBox logo key.

The battery itself is meticulously crafted, can not be 'wrong', he used, according to the experience, also in use by quite a long. The charging time is also appropriate and to notice while playing hardly except precisely through the cable. A big improvement compared to Vorgängerset for Xbox 360 is that the controller even when the console is switched (which is probably more like a standby mode) can be loaded. Nice is also the LED on the cable, the color from amber to 'white' changes when fully charged.

In addition, the cable is long enough again to actually be able to charge while playing. (Here is particularly referred to the short charging cable with the [but still comes standard with battery equipped] controllers of the PlayStation 3 (PS4 unknown), in which you have to crouch while charging at one meter distance in front of the TV.) The principle of general interchangeability also offers the opportunity to exchange defective batteries without having to dispose of the same the whole controller.

I really should, because of the fundamental error, a battery only as an accessory to sell and not (like the competition) as standard enclosed with the plentiful but expensive equipment, only awarded fewer stars. But for the good working accessories can even now nothing ...
