bit-tech Shopping: Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - Black

Rating: 10

Strengths: Nice looking controller!

Weaknesses: None

Summary: This is the black version of the standard Xbox 360 controller and it looks great whether you have the matching black Elite 360 or not. In fact, it would make a nice counterpart to a standard white 360. If you are going to buy a new controller you might as well go for something different!

Strengths: To me, there is no difference between this new controller and the one that came with my Xbox 360.

Weaknesses: Didn't know that the headset is a separate purchase.

Summary: I thought that I was wearing out the original Xbox 360 controller, and guests were coming over, so I thought to purchase the additional controller for multi-player enjoyment. The XBox 360 didn't immediately recognize the new controller until I pressed the small, round configuration/reset button on the front. After that, the controller and console were happy together. I found out that I played just as terribly with the new controller as with the old, and so, there is no difference between controllers (at least for me).

Strengths: Looks & feels better than white

Weaknesses: Doesn't match the color of original 360

Summary: Although it is suppposed to be same, it feels better than the white controller. I don't think there is a weight difference but this one seems more solid while playing. Couple of things that I don't like are the fact that it does not matches the white color of xbox 360 (unless you have the latest hdmi models) Also I had a white play & charge kit which looks ugly with this one so I probably will have to buy a black kit For some reason this one is difficult to buy at a bargain price while there are lot of deals on white one. Still I have found it a pretty good buy so far

Strengths: wireless rangebalancenonslip covering

Weaknesses: none

Summary: I think this controller is a little bit nicer than the white model because the black colored controller seems to have a different outer coating on it that makes my hands slip less. The controller is just as balanced as the older model and it appears the only change that was made was in the color and possibly the coating.

Strengths: Matte black color matches your Xbox 360 Elite!

Weaknesses: None

Summary: The new black Xbox 360 wireless controller performs the same as the original white one. It's great for those who want something new, want to stand out at the party, or have the new Xbox 360 Elite (black colored system). Comes with a 2 pack of AA batteries, so the item is ready to use right out of the packaging.
