I especially liked the MLG carry case, ok it looks a little like a wash bag, but this is no ordinary controller and it deserves its own carry case, I wouldn’t feel right just chucking this pad in a drawer or the bottom of my bag, plus it means that you can keep all your spare parts, customisation add-ons, detachable cable and the controller well protected and all in one place, very handy for the touring pro gamer, no space for your tooth brush in there though.
Instead of your standard hardwired USB cable that you get with the Official Xbox Controller, your treated with a durable 3 Meter (9.8ft) pro cable, heavily braided and built to survive severe abuse and heavy use. With the cable being fully detachable thanks to it’s very sturdy locking screw attachment, the cable even has it’s own storage compartment in the carry case, all this means you wont be risking damage to both your cable and controller by just wrapping the wire around the control pad, something most of us a guilty of doing when we put our controllers away, myself included, but my controller didn’t cost £90.
I swear I read a review that said this "Pro" pad had no vibration, and the D-pad had trouble detecting more than one direction at one time. Those are some deal breaking issues for a pad that you gave a Gamer's Choice Award to. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi Joe, I had no issues with the controller what so ever, it comes with two D-pad and while one was rubbish, akin to the current Xbox one, the 2nd is more like the PS3 d-pad and was fantastic and a huge improvement over the standard xbox controller, it also most certainly does have rumble, don't know who told you that 🙂
Sorry for the slow reply though, I forget to check the comments sometimes

nope this all lies this controller is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About the rumble: The PS3-version of the MLG does not have rumble, nor six-axis control.
The XBOX-360 version does have rumble, only slightly less than the original MS controller does.
