I'm thinking about buying the FPS Master and was wondering if anyone has anything to say about flaws, problems or anything you dont like about it. Would you recommend me to buy it? Post any problems (deadspots on thumbsticks, etc.) you have had with the controller. Thanks!

While the FPS controller is an interesting controller with a few decent inovations, it is not without its drawbacks. I have tried to use it and believe that the problems outweigh the inovations.

The good things about the FPS controller include:
-Customizable button settings
-You never need to take your thumbs off of the thumb sticks

The problems with the FPS controller include:
-The thumbsticks lack the fine response sensitivity necessary for pinpoint accuracy and movement in Halo.
-The buttons on the hand grips are too close together, making it difficult for some (especially those with larger fingers) to press one button without pressing the other as well.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend the FPS controller. It was a good idea, but as with most third party controllers, it fails to live up to the excellent quality of the analog sticks of the official xbox controllers.
