Logitech Cordless Controller for Xbox
One
thing I hate most about having so many consoles in my house is all the
wires. Okay so that really is the only thing I hate about it. It seems
that once I get all the wires looking like there hasn’t been a recent
apocalypse something happens and they all have to be moved again.
That’s only with the back and then you have the roommate, two cats and
two dogs traipsing back and forth in front of the TV while playing.
Instead of concentrating on killing the big bad boss I am stuck holding
my breath hoping someone doesn’t trip over the controller cord. That was
my life until I found the Logitech Cordless controller for the Xbox!
Here is
what you get in the package plus your first set of 4 AA batteries.
Technical Specifications:
- Have complete
freedom of movement with a 50-foot range
- Feel the hits,
crashes, explosions and many more effects with vibration feedback
- Dual analog
mini-joysticks, D-pad, eight pressure-sensitive buttons
- Enjoy 50-plus hours
of battery life
Notice
that the expandable memory Xbox memory unit goes into the receiver and
not the controller.
The Logitech controller maintains the sleek design of the S controller.
Although it is bigger then the S controller, it still is not as big as
the original Xbox controller. It does weigh a considerable amount more
then the regular controller due to the batteries though. After an hour
of game play, I didn’t feel any real fatigue due to the differences in
controllers.
Here is an example of the difference in size between the two.
All you need to do to get started is simply insert the batteries into
the controller, plug the receiver and push the connect button. You are
now ready to play, yes it is that simple. Here it is hooked up to my
Mt. Dew Xbox that the guys of the forum helped me get.
In
Conclusion:
I must say when Logitech says a 50 foot range they mean it, even if it
is the other side of my house. Also no matter where I was sitting in
the living room the controller responded perfectly without delay. I have
two major concerns with the controller though. First is the weight
difference, while it may not matter to most it may cause fatigue to the
wrist with extensive game play. Another thing I should point out is
that the buttons are a little tricky to get used to for those of us with
smaller hands and a little stretching is involved. Overall though I
highly recommend this product to any avid gamer who want to be more into
the game rather then worrying about who or what is going to trip over
the controller cord next.
