It's definitely very 360-like. My main concern is those triggers, the triggers on 360 have a very specific feel, and the Retro Fighters triggers look like they'll feel very different (almost more Xbox One in appearance) 😓
@Broosh yea, they have never been about preserving the feel as much as creating modern feeling controllers that work with those consoles and their games.
Just ordered one. My first RF controller but I have been wanting to try one for a bit (OG Xbox) and my 360 controllers are starting to get some age. Fingers crossed for a positive experience
Decent price not bad!
@old-dad Would be good to know! I have a Retro Fighters controller for PS3 and sadly it has some weird issues with the analogue sensitivity, so if that issue doesn't exist with this model I'll consider it!
Now if we could just get a good, affordable, wireless series X controller…
Question is, does it feel like a 360 controller?
not feeling it. I have the hyperkin 360 controller, but even that doesn’t compare to the OG 360 controller. it was like a hard rubbery material with a heavy duty build to it and sturdy buttons; controllers nowadays are way too plastic & feeble
@Kaloudz hell no. you can tell by just looking at it. the hyperkin controller fooled me once, never again though
Wireless make my pants go boink
EDIT: wish it was for Xbox Series of consoles too 😭
@nomither6 Yeah I agree. It looks airy, if that makes sense. Like, not very heavy.
The fact that the controller is for the 360 and not the series X is hilarious but kinda cool too, i still use my 360 regularly so this is perfect for me
As someone who has not bought an Xbox since the 360 I will probably pick one of these up. I have a black and white one and I can get this one in transparent green.
Third party Xbox 360 controller that’s actually wireless? That’s pretty decent for once. Looks cool also.
