Batarang Wired Controller for Xbox 360 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

yes this controller looks amazing with LED's that change color and the layout is very close to the 360 so it feels great in your hand. this sounds great right? well the greatness ends there because the analog sticks are some of the most inaccurate i have ever used and as others have stated the dead zone is awful. also the bumper buttons are real flimsy feeling and sometimes do not mash correctly. i would say buy this controller if you're a collector or play games other that first person shooters.

The controller looks really cool, and the lighting effect is awesome. The sticks are very sensitive and buttons work fine. But looks can be deceiving. the controller is prone to losing connection to the Xbox, and also is not durable. The headset jack is hit and miss, and the light feature can cause the controller to get very warm after prolonged use.

In my opinion, stick with the MS controllers, I've tried multiple aftermarket ones and they all fall short.

Best Deals for Batarang Wired Controller for Xbox 360

I borrowed this controller from a friend after getting Skyrim PC. I ended up falling in love with the style, shape, and size of this controller. I bought my own and have used it for nearly 30+ hours of gameplay. I'm not necessarily a huge Batman fan, nor even a Xbox 360 platform user, but this controller fits well with my style and what I'm looking for in a controller.

I see a lot of complaints about the size of the controller. I do have smaller, dexterous hands, but I can't see why someone with larger hands couldn't use it as well. The controller does have different ergonomics than original Xbox controllers.

The lights are cool, but normally I keep them off. Due to the brightness of the LEDs it becomes more of a distraction than added aesthetic style. It is wired so no batteries to worry about and the chord is a good 9 feet.

Overall a good buy and if you're a Batman fan this would definitely be for you.

Honest reviews on Batarang Wired Controller for Xbox 360

I've had this controller just over a month, probably used it around 100 hours total. It works great, all the buttons & sticks are nice & responsive, & the only difference I noticed between this & my official Microsoft controllers are in feel. It is lighter, due to not having batteries, & is slightly wider. The back of the handle grips have angled Batarang edges, which are the most marked difference compared to the MS's curved, wide grips. I don't have any discomfort playing long periods with it, though. I play with the decorative lights on with friends, around 1/2 the time used, & have not noticed any additional heating of the controller versus without the lights on. I paid $20 for this controller, & I consider it a steal!

[Update 1/25/2013]: After playing around 2 hours the controller began to disconnect & reconnect to the console as it was slightly moved. Twisting the cable near the controller causes it to stay connected, so I'm assuming a wire has become loosened. Because its become unusable after three months of pretty light usage, having not dropped it or stored it with the cable wrapped around the controller, I've lowered my rating accordingly. I've contacted PowerA describing my issue, & hope they hold true to their 2 year limited warranty on this controller. Hopefully this is just a defective unit, & not indicative of an overall poor product design.

[Update 11/3/21013]: I received a new Medal of Honor Air Flow from Power A about a month ago. There was some problems with my home address not being the one UPS delivered to, so that's why it took quite a few months. I'm happy with the new controller, & its working great.

I bought this exactly 1 month ago. Loved it & still do. Feels great & the lights are awesome. Although, after one month of daily gaming & gentle use, the triggers stopped working. I called Gamestop & they said that since it was over a month, I could not return it. With that said, I opted to fix it myself by swapping parts with my old controller. Upon taking it apart, I realized that the triggers themselves were fine, the plastic that was holding the triggers in place broke off & the plastic that connects the triggers to the motherboard was broken as well. I checked online & it seems that I'm not the only one going through some type of issues with this controller. Most of the issues tend to deal with the triggers & bumpers.
