It lasts nearly 50 hours on 2 AAs so get some rechargeables and you’re golden. It shuts off after 5 minutes of inactivity, there’s a mode button for switching from digital to analog and that’s all you need. I never once had to pair the controller over the 10 years I owned it. The controller connects the receiver easily with just a press of a button and no need to re-pair it. My only complaint would be that the analog sticks are too loose for my taste and they take some getting used to.
#PDP XBOX ONE CONTROLLER LOUD FACE BUTTONS PLUS#
The D-pad is much improved and works well with fighters as it’s a rolling D-pad over the standard plus D-pad. The controller fits so nicely with shorter arms and a thicker back with larger top buttons. There’s more bulk and it feels heavier and more solid in your hands. What makes this controller the best wireless option for PS2 is that it just feels good and is more solid than the official controller. There is no other controller on the market with a built-in LCD like this and it’s great. I would have liked the startup sound as well, but I’ll take what I can get. The coolest feature is the LCD at the center that plays the original Xbox startup animation and displays the Xbox logo with a crisp clear LCD. The face buttons are slanted and at least the bumpers were retained as small buttons on top but the black and white buttons also function as bumpers (I mean…the black and white buttons were converted to bumpers on the Xbox 360).
It feels ergonomic but so bulky and heavy it’s both satisfying and weird.
I have large hands and it’s almost too big for me. Once you do open the box and pick up the controller you realize just how gaudy this thing was. It’s been this way since the Xbox 360 sadly. Sadly, this is not wireless and part of this is due to the fact that Microsoft will not release the codes to third-party developers so Microsoft is the only company with wireless controllers. In the box, you get a very long USB cable and the controller itself.
