But yeah, I know gamepads are like ties, and that everybody has their own preferences and tastes. The legacy/modern switch seemed like a godsend for an FFXI user, but probably not if you've had bad experiences with Logitech controllers in the past.
I don't know what it is. Maybe I just have bad luck with logitech. I've been playing with this Xbox control since they launched the game on Xbox. I moved it to my PC when my original Xbox broke and I've been using it ever since. In the same span of time, I've worn out buttons on 4 of the rumblepads.

The last time I took it apart, I removed the motors and filed the edges of the buttons in an attempt to make them last longer. So far so good, but I'm still reluctant to buy another wireless one. I duuno, all this talk has me wondering though. Maybe I'll give it another shot. Costco still lets you return pretty much anything right? :P
