If you play fighting games this is a must This controller for anyone looking to play fighting games on the xbox 360 with a pad (Rather than an arcade stick). The D-pad really shows up the original controller by offering such precision it works for any game bteer suited to a d-pad not just fighters. All the controller works great only problem is the shoulder buttons feel a bit mushy but since you will be mostly using this on arcade games or fighting games it never becomes a problem. Do not hesitate but it now!

Damn good controller for fighting games I bought this controller for fighting games, as regular microsoft pads are terrible, and it delivers!!! It is a great control pad, it allows for easy execution of advanced combos in games like kof 12 and garou mark of the wolves.
Now the turbo functionality is really not what caught my interest, but I suppose it's ok, since I'm sure if I had this pad when I played Blue dragon I'd had unlocked some achievements more esasily.
The Analog sticks are adequate (I've seen some other reviwers complain about them, but I really beg to differ).
My only complaints are the triggers, which are very small, and don't convey a full range of presure sensitive responsivenes in racing games...
and the secon one is the lack of rumble, but since I did not have to pay 70+ usd on an arcade stick for fighting games I really can say I'm very satisfied. Hori makes great stuff.

Details One of the greatest controllers for the Xbox 360 , imo.
This Controller will help you achieve achievements while sleeping or away from Xbox 360. The ABXY Buttons can be turbo up to 13~26 times per seconds.
Really depends what the game's button are and what can be achieved while buttons are clamped or rigged.
Controller has it's own D-Pad and much accurate than any Xbox 360 Controller.
Have had no problems with wireless Headset and Hori EX Turbo Pad .
However, the Turbo has 1 Flaw ...
Takes sometime to adjust with FPS titles.
Other than that. Thank you very much to all Japan suppliers and Play-asia for reviving the Hori EX Turbo Pad. And, much thanks for play-asia sending 4 controllers for my future Xbox 360 Mahjong Achievements. ^^

Some analog issues The Hori controller is good & vastly cheaper than the 360. However it's not without it's issues, if you are used to the analog you might find the Hori's too loose. It's Dpad is superior to the 360 controller, but for a fighting game it's analog is much to be desirred. I would say use it's analog for action games like TR Legend, Contra & similar.
