- I got the madcatz Pro controller for Xbox because it had a cross as a D-Pad (easier to go form right to left without hitting up or down) but the AB/YX buttons felt very poor: the press down easily, like a soft "click" and then you have to press a little more to get it triggered. Worst experience ever. The L and R triggers felt cheap. The D-pad was like the AB/YX buttons, but I think it worked a little better than the original controllers D-pad when it came to holding up without touching left or right.

- WTF?! Isn't Lynx a program that will allow Linux software to run on Windows-based systems? What the hell are you talking about? Talk about name-dropping...

Don't want wires dragging you down when fragging your best friend in Halo? Then this wireless XBox controller is for you. Developed by Mad Catz, the Lynx wireless controller features 900MHz communication with 12 sub-channels, dual rumble pack, and 50-foot communication range and runs on 3-AA batteries.
The downside to the product is that the memory ports are located at the base station, and not at the controller. This makes the Communicator package for XBox Live! difficult to use. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself.
