I know most all tournaments use microsoft controllers exclusivly, but I recently picked up this dandy looking controller with the A B X Y buttons as 'triggers' for the index and middle ginders of each hand. I was wondering if anyone else has a controller like this and wondered if the 'analog' sticks acting differently was just my controller or if they all act like that. The controller is quite 'gimmickey' but it seems to have a solid desiign idea (no need to ever take right thum off stick [well, except for switching grenade types or turning on the light.]) It looks all green and camoflauge-like. Only one memory card slot. has anyone else had any experience with these controllers?

Is it the fps-master controller? I've seen this in stores looks interesting, but i dont think it has that much of an effect on your game. Does it? I mean it only takes 2 seconds to press a button on the controller...

Oh, I've seen that FPS controller. It looks interesting/cool. I would buy it at least to try it, but I'm a cheap bastard. I use the S, just because my other is a third party wirelesss that sucks horribly (as I found out too late). I'm used to the s, and its one of most comfortable controllers. Comfort is the only real differance between controllers, I think.

that 'two seconds' (it's less time by the way ~_^) you have to stop aiming to jump (or switch weapons, I can jump and aim/keep a bead on my target at the same time. But like I said (at least on mine) the thumbpads seem... off. It works very different from the microsoft ones. I know it really does not sound like much, but over time those seconds add up...
