 Same as the old one---very good May 17, 2004

In my mind, the thing is a great controller. However, I thought it was just as good as the old big ones. The only reason I'm glad that microsoft put out a smaller one is now my dumb gamecube owning friends can't say "the controller is too big."
Perfect color for the XBox November 19, 2004

Those who bought an XBox when it first came out remember the monstrously oversized controller that came with it. Fans complained, and Microsoft created the Controller S ("S" for "small") to alleviate the cramped hands and aggravation the original controller caused. The control layout may take some getting used to, as many games require the use of all of the buttons, and reaching the small black and white buttons near the bottom of the controller can be risky in heavy combat (such as switching grenade types while battling an Elite in Halo). Otherwise, this controller is great. It's just the right size for most people, although if you're buying a controller for someone with small hands (like a child, for example) then I suggest the Mad Catz MicroCon, perfectly suited for smaller hands. This semi-tranparent green controller goes well with the black and green Xbox. The Controller S is also available in black and blue.
I hope this review was helpful

Since this is the same as the blue S controller, I'll just copy/paste my review for that for the most part.
I'm not going to compare this to the other system controllers out there, as they're all good in their own right. But this Controller S is very comfortable. I got my Xbox a few months ago I just don't get what everyone's problem is with holding this. All the buttons are where they sould be. The 'start' and 'back' buttons are easily accessable, as are the white and black ones. Not to diss on the original controller, but I like this model better, as the Xbox logo doesn't take up so much space.
Unlike previous system controllers (ie- the N64), my hands weren't sore or cramped after playing. You shouldn't have any problem when using this model, or the original one. A nice addition is that the cord is seperated into two parts. The first part connects to the controller port in the Xbox console, which connects to the rest of the cord leading to the actual controller. This makes it so that if you trip over the cord at all, it'll seperate and not screw up the game at all (a menu will pop up, pausing the game, stating that the controller isn't plugged in properly). More companies need to start using this system, it'd save a lot of stress on gamers.
So get an extra one of these, or one if all you have is the first version of the Xbox controller. They're well-made and shouldn't fall apart or anything. Plus the rumble feature actually lasts a long time unlike the ps2 dual shocks.
Great addition to your XBOX setup September 25, 2003

This is a great addition to any XBOX owner's setup. If you havn't used a Controller S before, you'll fall in love with it after only a few minutes. I swear I'll never go back to the original controller again.The blue color is darn cool. And it's not third party junk, either. Always go with Microsoft if you can.

This controller is great. I've owned it for about two months and no problems. The 'S' design is great. I mostly play Halo, PGR, and Top Spin for hours straight and I'm not sure why, but my hands dont sweat as much with this controller as with a PS2 controller. And the clear green makes it look awesome. And another feature that's very much overlooked is the detatchable cord that comes apart when you trip over the cord, this way your console stays safely on the shelf. I've tripped over the PS2 controller a few times and it comes tumbling down onto my foot. And the end of the controller easily snaps into the port. XBOX Rules.
