Hmmm I liked the ergonomics of the 360 controller, more than the successors, but the dpad and triggers are pretty dated now. If they put wider triggers and a more modern dpad I'd snag one.

Yeah, I also love how the 360 pad feels in the hands but why make a direct replica without new good stuff. Missed opportunity here.

Hate the noisy xbox series controllers, my xbox 360 controller in PC age is finally catching up with it, have emailed and asked if they ship to uk.

Also think the 360's dpad is way better than whats on the new controllers.

That's a new controller sorted. Loved 360 pads and hope these are as good as the OG.

I like the red one. I use to mod these with metal buttons and shells and give them away somehow.

Still have my original 360 pad completely modded black body, red and gold buttons.
