i find it a little big. my guess is it's probably heavy... whih means you'd better have really strong wrists or you wont be playing too long with that one by the way, i dont think its better for fps than a regular s-controller.
hey, check oki-mod.com we got some really nice wireless controllers in stock

yea my friend had one he said the best feature was reprogrammable buttons. but then you get use to those and use a reg controller and it doesnt feel right. he said for the $ its not worth it unless youre really desperate for that LCD screen that comes in handy as much as Bush at an anti-gun rally _________________ Xbox v1.0

Cheers for the comments guys.Weight is a good point because when i do have time to play a game its for several hours.For some reason i overlooked the weight issue.Any i`ve decided not to buy the pad and i`m going to buy the smartjoy frag.The thought of using my logitech keyboard and mouse appeals to me much more.I used to do alot of pc gaming but havent upgraded the hardware for ages so doom3 is terrible!So for £15 on the smartjoy frag i can play doom3 keyboard and mouse style on the xbox which is awsome.

A guy who works at a GameStop hooked one up for me to try, but I didn't like the FPS controller mainly for the reason that it has buttons on the insides of the pistol-grip handles, and I kept hitting them accidentally.
