@Arsenal86:

I'm going to raise you a big fat 'No'.

That's your opinion, and that's awesome. But mine is totally the opposite. They are way to loose and as a result, I am physically unable to play first person shooters with them, and convex tops just make my thumbs slip off. Concave gives a much better grip, combined with the stiffer resistence makes them much more accurate. PS sticks are all over the fucking place. Also I don't like them being on the same level, I much prefer the left stick being where the d-pad is on a PS pad.

While I wouldn't even consider a PS pad for an FPS, those same features that make the xbox pad so appealing for that genre (and similar) to me, are what make it completely unacceptably for fighters, as for me, fighters must have the d-pad on the upper portion as well, and to have both there is impossible. Also the xbox d-pad is the worst ever. Worse even than the gamecubes tiny one and the dreamcasts sharp and pointy one. I would take the PS pad over the xbox pad for fighters 100% of the time.

But those sticks, I don't understand how anybody can use them, ever. But my hands are huge so...

" @The_A_Drain : PS sicks are far better than xbox sticks as have a better feel to them and they stick out instead of sticking in compared to the xbox sticks "
You will naturally have more control over the sticks with concave design. I can't actually believe you say FAR better as well lol. I guess it's a difference of opinion.

Some modded controllers can look pretty kickass but I hate it when someone uses a rapid fire mod on their trigger to cheat.

first of all I don't know this as I have not modded my controller in any way but if you do change the analog sticks in the xbox controller then the response time is quicker now can anyone tell me that is true or is it a big fat lie and do lot of mlg players use ps2/3 sticks

There is a small amount of polishing you can do on the inside of a 360 controller that makes the sticks feel a little smoother but it has nothing to do with response time. Do a lot of MLG players use PS2 or PS3 sticks? I do not know of any MLG players that given the choice would choose a PS3 controller of a 360 controller.

Side note! I can't wait to go to Dallas next month for the MLG tournament. I'm not competing but I can't wait to watch and meet some of my favorite players.

@Azteck: That controller looks awesome. I don't think I would pay that much money for it though.

If you mean the PS360 controller, he actually has a sort of tutorial on his website.

But yeah, controllers are expensive enough as they are without all the flashy stuff.
