LinkiesNew Xbox 360 controller, been made available for pre-order in the US in a bit over a week, so hopefully UK won't be too long after. For those of you that don't have an Xbox it's also PC compatible. I'll be after one, anyone else interested? The video they've released for it is here.

I wouldn't mind one for racing and certain flight games (Dogfighter!), but it's probably going to be at least twice the price i'd be willing to pay.

I don't think I quite understand. Basically it's a controller which has all the normal stuff in slightly better quality, two extra buttons and customizable stuff which no one will ever customize? That's worth money? I dunno man just seems like an extraordinary waste. I mean everything on it is pretty much the same as normal controller, it's not more accurate like a gamer mouse or mousemat would be. I really don't get it  . edit: basically wat hzza sed |

The adjustable resistance thumbsticks/programmable buttons are what I like the look of. For the latter so I program them to be alternatives to thumbstick presses which can be a pain in the ass in FPS games sometimes.

"Hey guys, we need a fancy way of saying you can press the buttons quickly" "How about 'Hyperesponse action buttons allow you to actuate buttons faster'" "GENIUS" Looks alright, although I'd rather they just got rid of the stick click entirely and I worry that it's getting a bit crowded on top of the controller now. Would have to be <£15 for me to consider getting one though, and that ain't happening. Edit: adjustable sticks and rubber grip are apparently an extra $10, and whoever wrote the FAQ needs a beatdown. |

The stupid thing about this is it's designed for 'pro' gamers but it's been banned from most 360 tournaments.

I hope the d-pad is better, I can't play fighting games with the x360 controller because of its cheap dpad (and because I fail when using the analog stick)

Reprogrammable buttons could be handy, I guess. But surely you can get this functionality on the reg cntroller through software?

Not if you're using it with an xbox.
Unless you mod it, but then you're a douche.

I hate this attitude amongst xbox users, they all seem to feverishly support ms locking down the system because they think mods=cheats. |
