Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Black


Hi

this is an ideal bit of kit if:

1: your console came with a wired controller
or
2: You need an extra controller

In my opinion the xbox 360 has the best controller of any console. The size is absolutely perfect for me and the layout of the analogue sticks is spot on. The controller has pressure responsive buttons so you can do various moves or accelerate/brake at different rates in games and has a guide button right in the middle which is an unbelieveably useful button for 2 reasons:

1 - it will turn your console on and off without having to get up out of your seat!

2 - You can access the xbox 360 dashboard from one simple press and harness the full functionality of your xbox from it.

As I said before I think this is a must buy. It is extremely comfortable. The range is atleast 15 feet, obviously being wire free means you can sit absolutely anywhere you want. It is extremely responsive and I have never had any lag at all from it and it lets you know when the battery is low wih its ring of light.

I must also add that the controller comes with a compartment for putting 2 x AA size batteries in. This is great because you can either stick with this like a lot of peolpe do, or you can buy a rechargeable battery pack to pop into it so you save a fortune on batteries.

The guide button has 4 leds in a ring of light around it. These will all flash at once to notify you of varous things - such as a friend coming online, gaining an achievement or a download completing. They will also flash around in a circlular motion if your battery is low, and finally as there are 4 - it will show you what player you are - eg 1, 2 3 or 4.

To score this from 1 to 5, 5 being the best I would say 5!

Prices do range significantly (£20 to £35)but the more savvy users out there would buy it in a pack with 2 games called a wireless entertainment pack. These are available for the lower price mark above if you look hard enough!

To sum it all up - absolutely essential piece of kit for the xbox 360 - dont get caught without one!
