Xbox Controllers

MacroGuru · 01-07-2006, 03:09 PM

So...

Someone might be able to help me here.

My Xbox took a dump a while ago, I finally replaced the HD and the DVD drive in it...well, I have also found that my 2 kids have managed to break my controllers...

Well, I could probably take them apart, and attempt to fix the issues. Has anyone tried this...right now, it is like the X key or the right thumb stick are the issues.

2nd, what are the better controllers out there.

3rd, anyone selling any used controllers?

I have a buncha extras lying around, although they're mostly the "Duke" controllers - the ginormous ones that shipped with the system, and two or three extras that I bought for Halo.

Other 'n that...I prefer the Controller S and the Logitechs.

(Although the licensed sports pads from Mad Catz ain't half bad.)

Yeah, it's the Dukes I have(Had).

I was able to take them apart and fix one, the other is shot...

So at least I can play....

Really? Wow. I remember back in the day, everything Mad Catz made either broke in the first week or was just generally awful.

I'm a little surprised, truthfully, but the Clippers pad they sent me, while it's not as good as the official stuff or the Logitech controller, it's still pretty solid.

Enough to where I might have to buy one of the Dodger pads next month.

Why do they call it the duke.

Julio Riddols · 01-08-2006, 07:25 AM

Because in this case, Duke is pronounced with a long e.

Because, only this man can handle that godawful controller

SI

He hasn't asked me for one, and I'm not Santa Claus. I don't have a book that will magically tell me his address, nor can I squeeze my hairy fat ass down his chimney and leave one under the tree for him.

If he wants one, he's gonna have to address one of those two problems.

But i never asked for one yet, because I was working on fixing my own....

But Sack...PM is on it's way...
