Speedlink Xeox Pro Analog Gamepad Review
Hello Friends ! Today i will review my newly purchased gamepad- SpeedLink Xeox Pro Analog Gamepad. I love playing Video games & i have used a wide range of different types controllers so far.For example Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller,Logitech F710 gamepad,Enter E-GPV Gamepad,
Havit HV-G82 Joystick and many more.That is why before buying this Speedlink Gamepad ,initially i was bit skeptical,But after using it for one week i must say that it surprised me a lot.It performed beyond my expectation.Before using this speedlink gamepad my thinking was Microsoft Xbox 360 controller is the best controller out there in the market.But after using this Speedlink Xerx Pro Analong Gamepad it seems that really i need to change my thinking .
It is an excellent Gamepad...in my opinion it is even better than Microsoft's XBOX 360 controller.
Pros-
1.Works Perfectly in Windows 10 .Just plug & play.(Driver CD was provided. I didn't need use them ;) )
2.Special rubberized coating on the entire controller made it more premium & Stylish looking.It gives better grip.
3.The buttons are neither very hard nor very soft.Just perfect ,and very stylishly colored.
4.The analog sticks are far more accurate and responsive than xbox 360 controlelr, giving far better physical feedback. On top of that, their deadzone is very small..
5..Bumpers and triggers are totally perfect.
6.I saw a lot of reviews saying the D-Pad lets it down,but i don't feel it.Although this D-pad is bit different than other controllers,but once you get used to with it, you will love this...D-pad is better than Xbox official controller.I think intentionally it has been made a little loose , which helps to move in 8-way directions more easily
7.There is a switch on the back to alternate between D-Input and XInput. Most people overlook this awesome feature & they complain their gamepad is not working.This happens because they are using it in wrong mode.Xinput mode works for the new generation games and Dinput mode works in old age games.Change it according to your game.
8. Good quality 1.9 meter long cable.
9. It contains a Rapid Fire Button which is awesome for fast firing .
Cons-The only CON i found is that you cannot use RT & LT at the same time..These two buttons’ signals are on the same axis. As such, they cancel each other out when both buttons are pressed at the same time .Another issue is that the light ring doesn't function the same as the official controller. The whole ring lights up, giving no indication of which controller is assigned to which player.
Conclusion- I have two Microsoft's official Xbox 360 controllers and i have been using them for last 2 years & trust me this Speedlink Xeox Pro Gamepad is far batter than those xbox controllers.Although at this very moment i can't say anything about durability of this controller.Because i'm using this product only from last one week.I hope it lasts longer. I think Microsoft Xbox 360 controller is over priced.I got this speedlink gamepad from flipkart at ₹1799 ($27).I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good comfortable controller for PC .
PS-This product is not easily available in India( i didn't find this in any other nearby shops & E commerce stores).You can buy this product only from flipkart right now.Maybe later this gamepad will be available in different E-commerce stores .
You may Buy this from flipkart here .
Install Flipkart app from here

Can the LT and RT be used for diff. functions?
ReplyDeleteYes..but you need to configure the ini file to change mapping..and for your information LT & RT of this gamepad doesn't work simultaneously at the same time in few games.

ReplyDeleteIn older games that require direct input if you play with this when switched to xinput mode even the 360 controller has this problem. Just switch the controller to direct input and you are good to go
