Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Isabella ★★★★★

Plugged it in for some Halo and the D-pad still has that satisfying, clicky feel I remember from high school. Cleaned up nicely with no sticky buttons or drift on the sticks.

Hazel ★★★★★

The thumbsticks have just the right amount of resistance for those frantic Covenant firefights, and the button clicks feel satisfyingly tactile. All the original weight and heft is there, making it feel like a piece of gaming history in my hands.

John M. ★★★★★

Picked this up to replay Halo LAN parties with my friends, and the original D-pad still feels better for quick weapon swaps than any modern controller I've tried. The cable is long enough to reach across a living room setup.
