Product Description

Product Description

The Xbox Official Controller S is a smaller version of the Xbox game controller, with new button layout that provides greater flexibility when gaming. Just like the Xbox controller, the Xbox Controller S is designed to offer maximum comfort, extremely high accuracy and total control. It has complete analogue control with six analogue action buttons, two sticks and two triggers and a three-metre long extension cable.

Product Description

Well used but all buttons/joysticks working good, would make an ideal spare or replacement.

Great 14 Feb 2004
This controller really is brilliant. It fits snuggly into your hands and is just the right size. A lot of people think that Xbox controllers are terrible, and i would have to say that the original controller was to bulky, but this dinky little number really sorts out that problem.
I, at the moment, am in the transition phase from Sony PS2, to Microsoft's Xbox, and this controller makes it a lot easier, to change from PS2's tiny controllers to these.
A great little number...

The X-Box Controller S, as the other reviews suggest, is a major improvement on the original controllers. They're much easier to handle, smaller, lighter and all-round user-friendly, especially for someone like me who plays mainly first-person shooter games (Halo, Counter Strike etc).

The major plus is the location of the black/white buttons and the shape of the D-Pad. For games like Splinter Cell and Counter Strike where you're heavily reliant on these buttons, life has been made much easier by packing them into a smaller space (making them much easier to reach and press).

The general feel is comfortable, with better ergonomics: the control sticks now have flat heads (easier to click) and the triggers underneath are closer together (more comfortable to crouch and shoot at the same time).

Overall impression is that it's an ergonomic, comfortable larger version of the PS2 controller, but of a higher quality. An essential piece of kit, and at the reduced price (decent official controllers are difficult to get cheap), it's a steal!

Having played with both the official X-Box controller (the big chunky thing) and with this official X-box S controller, I prefer to use the S controller more often.

Sometimes, the big controller is just too awkward to use, especially when playing something like Splinter Cell, where using the black and white buttons is a necessity, it was awkward to reach all the way to top on above the ABXY buttons.

Now on the S controller, they have been repositioned to below the ABXY buttons, so it is much easier to press with your thumb.

The start/select buttons have been pushed over to the right hand side of the gamepad.

The D-pad has also changed slightly so it now appears as a cross, as opposed to the slightly awkward wavy layout of the official controller.

The ABXY buttons are also actually easier to hit now as the pad has been condensed in size. It will suit people with smaller hands down to ground, and its not too small for people with big hands either.

Both of the thumbsticks have a better texture on them, and they seem slightly easier to manoeuvure.
All in all, I definetely prefer this controller to the official chunky one.
