Xbox Wireless Controller Advice?

[lotsofdvds]

I'm in need of a replacement Xbox controller and was eying this one on sale at BB this week:

Anyone had any experience with it? Do any online sites review controllers?

Nope... it looks a lot like the massive old kind I have from Pelican, though, and they aren't very good.

The Logitech is the one to get. Of course, there is no plug in for the headset.

I have the one from Pelican and haven't had any problems w/ it yet (aside from when I forget to turn it off and burn out the batteries ;)).

I have the Logitech one as well and it works great. The only problem, as the guy above said, is that there is no way for the headset to plug in. :(

The Logitech responds almost identically to the MS original wired controller. And it's smaller (like Controller-S) and turns itself on (when you press a button) and off (after a few minutes of inactivity).

I found the Pelican to be a little laggy sometimes, and yes, the on-off switch can be a chore to remember ; )

For some games it's fine, but in really fast response games like Halo 2, the Pelly got me killed to many times.

um... maybe we don't have the same Pelican because mine is the "S" type size. Anyway, I think the main thing that kept me from getting the Logitech was the price. For that amount of money I would hope it would work comparatively better -ptth-

No diggity. I hated the logitech. I felt like for sports and FPS it just wasn't doing the job. Plus, it was so wide, it was like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.

Josh, you must be talking about the old, discontinued one. The new Wireless Precision ones are almost exactly the same size as the S-controllers. Except for a less-than-ideal, awkwardly raised D-pad and triggers with slightly decreased travel, it's perfect for use offline.
