Xbox 360 controller replacement!

SeraphX · 16 Jun 2014 at 19:09

Hey guys!

After having my wired 360 controller for umpteen years (Bought new from a B&M Woolworths lol) It's starting to get a bit long in the tooth, buttons aren't working etc etc

I've been looking at the Speedlink Aeox Pro
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GC-005-SL&groupid=702&catid=288&subcat=351

as a replacement, Can anyone offer more insight into the controller? how similar is it to the 360? are the buttons nice? is it a worthy replacement?

Does this controller work with xbox 360 or just PC?. At that price i will buy one for the kids.

were you happy with the 360 controller? if yes and its lasted years then surely you've already found what your looking for

Why not get the xbox one controller? Cheapest I've seen them sell for new is £30

Is it PC compatible yet? I know MS were teasing drivers/support at one point.

Edit - seems wired works via micro-USB. Drivers here:

Bit of luck that means a wireless receiver isn't far behind.

in my experience, nobody does a console controller better than the oem. if it were me i'd go for another 360 controller, or if you really want to an xbone one

Yes just get another 360 one

Agree with above, the ms controllers are the best available I think

If you don't mind wired then grab the new Xbox One controller, if you prefer wireless then get another 360 controller.

i went for the official wired one, it was 20quid. there was an offer on HUKD a while ago for the wireless controller for a little more, so that may appear again, but for the cost of it, id stick with the original and best

the Xbox one controller is compatible with PC now, microsoft released the drivers, just need to have a micro USB cable to plug into your PC and away you go!

If it says for PC then it won't be automapped like the Xbox controller. E.g. the reason the Razer Onza works is becuase the computer basically recognises it like a 360 controller.

Just get another Xbox controller would be my bet, can't really go wrong with them.

Another recommendation for the Xbox one controller, now microsoft have released the drivers.

The improvements they made to the 360 controller although subtle add together for a much smoother experience. Any games that supported the 360 pad will support the xbox one controller so no worry about compatibility.

Wireless 360 controller. Love mine.

Just Bought the Xbone Controller .. lovely feeling controller and works great on PC

shatpank81 · 19 Jun 2014 at 23:50

Will echo what most people have been saying, just buy the xbox 360 controller again
I got the wireless one with the dongle for like £22 off amazon a few months ago.

After trying many controllers on the PC I can not find one better than the Xbox 360 controller. The quality and accuracy of the controller is just second to none compared to the other counterparts.

Twirlywoos · 12 Jul 2014 at 11:44

Razer's quality is hit and miss but the Microsoft controllers are well built. Check hukd as I just got the Titanfall LE controller for £35. You will need a micro USB cable though as stingely there isn't one included.
