User Comments about the XBox Phoenix Controller with Built-in XBox Live Communicator

This controller is great. I enjoy talking trash on halo 2 now, and the controller is very well built.



So A few years back I bought a controller like this one by gamester and loved it, then i BOught another one that had an invert switch and then this one over the course of like three years and they all still work perfect, and this one is by far the best, the intergrated communicator works perfect and i love not having to have it sticking out, the grip of this controller is also amazing, and all though I do expect the rubber thumbstick grips to come off they haven't yet but they did on my other gamester controllers, it really isn't that bad, cause you still have a groove to put your thumb in, as well it allows for homemade grips, of course you can also contact gamester and they well at first i sent them my controller and they gave me a new one, and I think they still do that or they send you new grips with the howto put them on or something, but yeah to sum it up this controller is a solid xbox controller that is great for communicating on live



I have had this controller for about 4 months now, and the headset that came with it just broke, i would have liked this controller alot better if it was wireless.as other reviewers have said it is flimsy and creaks, i have not experienced that and i have thrown it at my wall before ( i was playing halo 2, i was about to beat the game and the power whent out) and it stayed together and i have snapped two ps2 dual shock controllers and 1 xbox controller s controllers clean in half before and i couldn't break this one.excellent product worth every penny except for the headset, it will last a few months but thats all.



Overall. there's no harm right. instead of going through each game's seperate menus just flip the switch and it's taken care of. It inverts the right control stick. I play every day and each button feels perfectly warn in while keeping integrity.


Each button has plenty of "action" if you will. with GREAT efficiency. Purchase and shipping took just a week. but not by much. I'll rebuy these if/when the ones I own now wear out (IF they wear out). The controller itself is slightly smaller than the newest XBOX S-Controller. The durability of these controllers is far past that of other "third-party" controllers.


As for the "invert switch", personal preference is what matters. I have not yet tested the Live Communicators but for coming with the controllers. not the left (just to be clear). This smaller size adds to the comfort. If one is playing a Shooter and decides to switch to a Third Person adventure game for example. perfect 5.


For the money, this controller and communicator are a great deal. They are good quality and releyable. The controller has no drift and the communicator works great.
