1. I've had really bad experience with Madcatz controllers. Granted, the last one I bought was the N64 era, but the controller was absolutely awful.

It felt fine, but it automatically turned on all the buttons to turbo. Some might call it a "feature" and not a defect (*cough psp disc eject cough*), but it was extremely annoying. And you couldn't turn it off, either. Just the rapidpressing. Was greaaaat. There were BUTTONS to turn them off, and they worked... for a split second.

2. I just got one of those MadCatz controllers last week.. They had a white one like the one pictured there. but the black one didnt have the side grips.. i ended up with the black no-griper from EB for 2499 i think.. much better than MS price for a 2nd controller (guest controller)..

Currently Im using it to play Flat Out on my PC and as far and PC play goes its been great.. Triggers are a lil different than the ones on MSs controller..

For the money, I recommend, cuz its currently out preforming my Saitek p2500 on the pc, which is a nice pad too..

3. I have Microcons for my PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube and they have always been fun to use. My girlfriend has small hands so she always plays Metal Gear and Killzone with a Microcon.

4. I love the Duke and I'm not afraid to say it. The original XBox controller was the first controller in my adult life that actually fit my hand.

I'm thinking a slightly larger XBox 360 controller would suit me fine, but I doubt that will ever happen. Damn you small handed people!

5. Microcons are great controllers. Once I got one for my ex-Xbox, I couldn't play with anything else. My only gripe with those was the analogsticks couldn't hold up to my constant Halo 2 playing everyday. They started acting funny after about 2-3 months. The rest of the microcon is great.

I'd say it would actually be worth it to transplant s-controller analogs onto a microcon.

I wasn't aware they made microcons already for the Xbox 360. This is great news for me, as I also needed a PC controller. I've been using a PS2 controller with a USB adapter for that....and it sucks. Gimme a 360 Microcon!

6. I have this little guy's bigger brother for the X360 (same size as the MS X360).

I bought it to act as my 4th controller (NHL2K6 and 3 friends), overall it seems pretty good. The 5year warranty was a bonus.

Hate to say it... but I am sooo hooked on the wireless, I really can't get myself to use anything else.

7. Hear Hear!
When I went to try the 360 before I ordered it the only thing I did not like was the small size of the controler... even the Duke is on the small size for me (I am 6'8" tall and my hands are in proportion ) I would get a Duke sized (or larger!) 360 controler in a New York Minute if one were offered... there are a lot of folks out there with bigger than average hands and I bet it would sell well
