Customer Reviews

Green Fingers
When looking for an additional pad to go with my XBox this controller certainly caught my eye.
Not only does it look good, due to its semi-transparent green casing, but I also knew from using the black S Pad that I already owned that it's wonderful to use; so wonderful that I wasn't about to be swayed by the multitude of much cheaper, unlicenced alternatives on the market.
It fits in your hand so well and is so much nicer to use than the Playstation controller, especially, if like me, you have large hands, and the layout of the controls is superb (just wait till you blow away a Covenant Elite in Halo using the right trigger), although if you're playing something that requires frequent use of the black and white buttons it can be a little tricky.
This little beauty is definitely worth the price tag and, because of its robust build quality, should last you many a late night frag session.

Official Microsoft Clear Green S Pad
Whereas the original Xbox controller was big and clumsy (especially for girls and midgets), almost causing you to pause game play in order to find the required button. The new S pad fits well into the hand and has a much more accessible button layout. With the clear and black buttons being moved down under the ABXY buttons and the start and back button now placed to the left of the d pad much less finger movement is required. This may seem a bit pernikity, but in high paced games such as halo or unreal championship this can really help. Last but not least the green colour is real nice, although u can get it in black if u want it to match your black console (I'm lucky as I have the limited edition green console, sooo good).
I highly recommend the S Controller as extras or if u can get them with your Xbox purchase, Halo rules!! Be cool, peace.

IT'S THE DAMN SAME!
This pad is exactly the same as the original black version, but see-through green. The only advantage of this is when you bring the pad round your mates, you can avoid the mix up because it will stand out. This is definltely better that the Original Huge one (which is being phased out, anyway). That one was for people with hands the size of tennis rackets. This is for the more petite of fist. Firstly, the the plastic thing which you can use instead of the analogue controllers is shaped like a cross instead of the weird moulded thingy of the original. Also, the black and white buttons are positioned near the bottom of the pad, which is easier to reach, becuase when you are playing driving games, you need to keep your thumb on the A button and press the black button to see who's behind you. So, buy it!
