this thing works in cooling ur hands and is actually a decent controller, though not as solid as the official xbox ones. My main concern however is that when i went to use it on xbl, the communicator would not fit in the memory slots, it kinda fits in the first one, but doesnt go deep enough for a connection, it doesnt fit in the second one at all. Luckily, memory cards do fit. So if ur planing on buying this u may want to reconsider if u will be playing online alot.

Just wondering, but how loud is the fan in the controller?

It like one of those tiny portable fans, that may not help but its hard to describe. But its not as loud as the xbox fan so its not bad.

Does your hand really get that hot?

Sounds like a gimic to me. Who's hand actually gets that hot where you need a fan? Do you consider playing your Xbox to be exercise?

Some games tend to make peoples hands sweat more than others. Mine would sweat alot playing online football on my DC. But it sounds like this controller has a few bugs in it to warrant a purchase by me.

I wouldn't buy it. I never sweat when I play games. Plus if it is cheap and already breaking I would take it back!!!

There are people that have problems where their hands just sweat. Their hands probably don't even feel hot.. just sweat beening pressed against plastic for possibly up to 3 hours at a time playing video games. Just accept the fact that a controller with a fan came out and let people be.

I like the idea of a fan in the controller, but the craftsmanship sounds a little shotty. Dont think I'll buy one, but I was considering it when I first saw it advertised. I like my S controller.

Thats pretty much it. If they had made a sturdy controller with this fan it would have been incredible. Unfortunately im a compulsive buyer. I own 6 controllers now.
