Tweaked version of the X-Box controller, 25 Sep 2003
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.
