You can't blame a man for wanting something different. Take a look at this orange S Pad - I never even knew they did it in such colour until i perused the Xbox accessories today. I have an Old type controller - which I love dearly - but they don't sell the old style in funky colours do they? No - they don’t.

Are these S Pads any good? Or are they for the guy with small women-like hands? What about the triggers at the back? Do they nip your fingers at all?

You cant really try these out at the shops - because they are sealed in one of those unfriendly packets that you have to destroy to open, so I need to know if you like the S pad - or if you'd sooner stick with the good old Eye-Saw X pad? Anything else I should know?

Thank yee.

I really want to get a wireless one but, the one on the market now has had bad reviews due to it feeling "plastic" and breakable.

I definitely prefer the original. Better than dislocating fingers trying to reach the black and white buttons.

I think the orange s pad looks sort of tacky. I much prefer the blue one.

EDIT: Although I have a green one. Which is cool to.

I much prefer the S pad. The moved buttons (start, back, white and black) can take a bit of getting used to if you've been using the bigger controller for a while, and it does seem to be slightly cheaper in build quality, but it is generally better IMO.

That's the most disgusting colour I've ever seen. If it wasn't see-through it would be ok.

Although I don't really mind either, I'd just like to have a controller S, because the triggers on it are by far lighter then the original, which can hurt the old fingers after a bash on PGR 2

That orange one, I imagine, is American...just like my blue one from SR.

Exactly the same though :D

The S Pad is far better than the original.

And I've met nobody with bigger hands than I have.
