Controller Experiences

[Vipershark]

As far as 360 controllers go, I'd have to say that this one is much more comfortable than the original.


The Afterglow controller. You guys may remember me posting about buying it on a whim a while back, but I'm so, so glad I did.
It's a wired controller so I only use it for PC games, but its shape is just ever so slightly different than the original 360 controller which causes it to feel really really comfortable in your hands. The plastic for the controller is glossy and smooth, but it doesn't get slippery during long sessions or if your hands get sweaty, and the controller just feels really sturdy overall.

I have to say that this is the best 3rd party controller I've ever used, though it does have a few drawbacks:

• The D-pad is just a regular 360 D-pad and is still terrible which is really unfortunate
  
• The start and back buttons are no longer directly beside the guide button which takes some getting used to but isn't too bad
  
• The guide button is flat, not 3d, and doesn't light up on the inside
  
• The slightly changed controller dimensions mean that the 360 chatpad is incompatible since it doesn't fit (but then again i dont think that has any use on the pc anyway, does it...?)
  
• I wish the buttons were backlit too...
  

edit- Now that the Xbone is out I'm waiting for 360 controller prices to bomb so I can buy up a bunch of them to use as PC controllers
