damn you microsoft!

The controller is good especially for FPS like Halo.  And as for those black and white buttons, they aren\'t used that often at all.  The xbox controller has 6 buttons in easy reach and two that are a bit of a stretch.  I don\'t see what the major problem with it is.

You can\'t jump while looking in a different direction.  That\'s the problem.  You have to take your finger off the R analog just to jump.  That is why the PS2 controller is still #1 IMHO -- because the 4 shoulders make playing FPSs a breeze.

I like the jumping button right where it is and it was the designers decision.  I read a bungie interview that said they didn\'t like the way most FPS are filled with people jumping and shooting--every online shooter I\'ve played caters to people who jump constantly and shoot.  The way Halo is configured makes more sense because you can\'t dodge nearly as effectively.

It\'s a great change and it\'s the way a FPS should be.

The 3 prong bomerang sucked, PS2 has THE best controller. and x boxs controller sucks a fat nut

I really like the N64 controller.  It fits right into my hands.  The Z-button is a really good idea, and only the C-buttons leave something to be desired.

I also don\'t care for two shoulder buttons on controllers.  I think if they structured say the GC controller to give your middle fingers a specific place to rest in the back of the controller, they could put the second shoulder buttons there.  That way you could support the controller and still hit the buttons without thinking about it...

Hey watchdog I am big xbox supporter and I have big hands. But lets be  honest the damn pad sucks ass. The button are spaced to far apart. It sucks you have to be like 7\'1 300Ibs and have giant hands in order to say the xbox pad is perfect.

moving from the black and white buttons down to A,b,Y,X and that analog is horrible. I hate it.

That is why the ps2 controller is so better. The buttons are so much easier to access. ANd moving from L1,R1 and down to Triange or cirlce take no brains at all.

anyone know if the japanese controller will work in my US xbox?

mm, I\'m just curious. I know a lot of ppl accuse you of being a PS2 fanboy but I believe you\'ve stated time and again that you\'re more of a Sega fan but I take it you don\'t like Dreamcast\'s controller either?

 Personally, I own the dual shock for the PS1 and it feels a little small to me and it cramps my fingers around the first joint and sides. My Dreamcast controller feels a little bit more comfortable but it cramps my fingers around the second joint and only at the joint. Although I haven\'t tried the Xbox controller for an extensive amount of time, my initial impression was that it felt the most comfortable for my grip. My question is, what is the most comfortable controller that you\'ve ever played with?

Quddus, no I don\'t think it is a bad controller.  How often do you go from black button to analogue stick?  Not very often.  And even in Halo when I have to turn the flash light on or in Amped when I want to switch the song or change the camera angle I don\'t find it to be a terrible inconvienence.

I too find the PS2 controller to be a little small, but once you get used to it, its fine too.  I suggest you use the xbox controller exclusively for 5 years and then come back to me.

The "Dualshock" is the best controller ever designed IMO. It was innovative, and has always been viewed as a great controller.

The N64 controller was horrible, the dreamcast sucked ass too. The X-Box, It\'s alright from what I have used of it. I haven\'t spent a great time using it though. Once when I played Halo at Software ETC. Thats it though, so I can\'t really judge it.

The Japanese controller looks so ugly.

You really care how a controller looks? As long as it works well.
