XFX Xgear Dual Reflex Controller Review

Conclusions

The rubber that covers this controller is very good, making this gamepad very comfortable to hold. To test its vibrating function, we played Need for Speed: High Stakes and every time we reached the grass or passed over subtle bumps on the road the gamepad vibrated according. It was very comfortable and a lot of fun playing with this gamepad.

Since its fully programmable, you can play any game you like, since you can program its buttons to behave as keyboard keys.

As we said, this game controller comes for free with XFX GeForce 7800 GTX. A piece of advice: we’ve seen some stores not mentioning this free gamepad. Maybe they (or their distributor) are taking the gamepad off from the bundle and trying to sell it separately. According to XFX, they don’t sell this video card to the distributors without the free gamepad, so we think it is your right to get it from free from the store you are buying your XFX GeForce 7800 GTX. ZipZoomFly, TigerDirect and New Egg are three online stores we know that are correctly offering this bundle.

But you can buy this gamepad on the retail market as well, for USD 40, which we think it is a fair price for this product. We think this is a great product and you please even the most hardcore gamer.
