Interaction Design Review - Xbox 360 Controller


- Extremely comfortable to hold, which is one of the main purposes of the product. The hand prongs are molded in a way that fit perfectly into the hand, and the smooth plastic texture of the controller accompany this nicely.
- The buttons are all positioned in a way so that the hand doesn't need to be moved too far in order to press them, apart from the start and back buttons which are towards the centre as these don't need to be used as often.
- The vivid colours of the four main buttons make them easily distinguishable, however the plastic used for the buttons is quite hard and may cause some finger pain after a while.
- The fact that the controller is wireless provides the user with the freedom to sit where and how they want, even if they were to face backwards there would be no loss in signal.
