Annual Review: Six Gamepads

You Have To Hand It To Them

The ergonomics are excellent. It is easy to hold and the rubber covering under the palms give it a better grip. All the buttons are in the right place for the fingertips, as are the D-pad and the two sticks, though these are a little too high and might tire the thumbs after a while. The buttons are plainly identified, four big ones and two smaller ones on the tip. The 8 positions are clearly marked on the D-pad, which is rounded to give it greater comfort and performance. The sticks are covered in a rubber, which feels good; handling and the click are equally easy.
