review by ryanbob1234
Let me start off by saying this, I dont like to use keyboard/mouse on games because I dont like the way it feels plus my wrists hurt after 30 mins.
I used to own a 360 so obviously I'm used to the controller and when I found out a few years back they can be used on pc's this made me very happy.
I have 2 of the black (elite) controllers because the white ones are nice but show up any marks or stains all to easy.
the wired ones are my pref because it saves messing around with batteries or the plug and play charge kit and this one works out to be ?10 less in most retailers by me so it's a win win all round, the cable for the controller is long so you can be on the otherside of the room (if you choose) and still have plenty of cable to use unlike some pc contollers.
You have the 2 triggers on the back which is handy for shooters or for racing games as a pose to 2 buttons on the back which is either on/off which on a racing game is not very realistic.
They are easy to mod if you love to mod stuff with some led's or change the button colours ect.
All in all a good periferal if you love your pc gaming and not a hard core Keyboard and mouse person like me.
The normal xbox headset can be used on your computer just plug it into the controller as normal and it works fine without more cables going to the pc making more cables or unnessaserly using up the jacks, and windows still controls how loud and quiet the mic/headphone is like all other pc headsets
They will be found in most online/instore places where the xbox can be found.
Pros
Cons
Great looks/great feel/ well built and cheap to buy
I bought this for pc gaming, and the controller is just awesome in these ways:
1. Its comfortable grip allows you to play for long duration and avoids extra stress on arms/ hands which occur during using multiple keys on keyboard while gaming.
2. Good precision and accuracy.
3. Compatible with Almost all PC games.
4. Best for RPG and RTS where multiple keys are required for different functions in keyboard.
5. Playing Fifa with the controller just adds up more fun and the vibrations make the moments for thrilling and then what appears to be realistic is the gaming environment.
CONS
I found the shooter games demand fast accuracy and aiming otherwise "GAME OVER". so if your hands are not that fast to compete with gaming mice users on multiplayer gaming, then DON'T TRY IT ON multiplayer FPS shooter GAMES.
Same me too, bro I recently bought this gamepad and it is nice while gaming. Before this I usually use Logitech gamepad. I have to get used to play games with this controller for awhile.
