Xbox 360 Second Controller?

Shikkaka · 30 Jun 2006 at 15:27

Hi all,

Just wondering how many of you buy a second wireless controller or go for wired?

I'm not sure which to go for. I just imagine it to be a pain having to swap out batteries all the time.

Whats your preference?

2 wireless with play and charge kits here, wireless without the hassle of having to find/charge batteries

Same here, cant stand the wired ones tbh.

2 wireless pads (one bought to replace the one I semi-broke) with a PnC kit.

Wouldnt want to go back to a wired pad again.

but surely with the play and charge kit, you may aswell just have wired?

Not 100% how the play and charge kit works. Care to enlighten me?

It just plugs into a USB port when you need to charge the battery pack, at all other times you dont need it. I use mine probably once or twice a month

How long does it take to fully charge the batteries?

1-2 hours IIRC.

so it lasts up to 3 - 4 weeks?

2 Wireless and 2 Play and Charge kits.
If one goes flat I just plug it into my PC and charge it through that.

For me yes, but I only play 1-2 hours a day. It obviously varies with use.

i just recieved my 2nd controller.

It's a joytech NEO Se 360 controller, looks exactly the same as an official one and got it for £12.99 delivered.

Just tried it in my hands, and I'm not just saying this, but it feels better than the official one. It fits my hands better and isn't completely curved so my hands don't slide.

I've got two wireless and two wired. I play a lot more 2-player than 4-player, so I didn't think it was worth getting 4 wireless pads!

2 Wireless and a Uniross Quick Charger. Works a treat, always have spare batteries and it does all my other stuff too.

Smit · 30 Jun 2006 at 18:02

2 Wireless with 8 rechargeable batteries

Kreeeee · 30 Jun 2006 at 18:53

I got a wired one but only beacause I want to use it for my PC too.

cokecan · 30 Jun 2006 at 18:59

i got a wired and a wireless. the wired ones handy to have so i can use it on my PC too (i also got hte core system so kinda had to have a wired one no matter what lol)

I couldnt go back to a wired controller now. 2 wireless controllers + a play+charge kit here.

Playing on my PS2 etc seems horrible! I really dont like being tethered to the console any more!
