The one with four triggers instead of two. I think it would be sweet if it worked properly but I don't want to drop 30 bucks on a piece of junk.

I always wanted a Xbox controller with the buttons on the underside, so that your other fingers can press them instead of having to take your thumb off the right-analog.

It seems good in theory. But the only real problem is that, well, it sucks. The sticks wear out far too easily, and it's just not...that...comfortable.

I bought it and I would have to say it's an alright deal for $30. The joysticks don't have the quality of Microsoft's, so say good-bye to your sniping skills. However, if close combat is your passion, you'll love it. The analog just isn't there so when zoomed in you really jerk around a lot. It took me about two or three days to get accustomed to the buttons, but it absolutely rules in melee fights. The first time I played campaign using the FPS (on legendary of course), I jumped over an elite trying to hit me, turned in the air, and hit him in the back in one quick motion without taking a lick of damage. The freedom of movement is glorious, but I would kill to have Microsoft make a similar controller so I could also use my beloved pistol.
