I really really like the way the Hip Gear looks link but I cant find a decent review. So has anyone used this before? If not what do you use & how do you like it?

I'm hearing it's the Logitech one. The battery life is ridiculously good in comparison and the quality of logitech is always :thumbsup:

the best one when i did my research was the logitech one. they are like $40. i picked one up at target a while ago for $30 but ended up selling it because it still didn't feel right. i personally don't really like 3rd party controllers, but the wires from the xbox live headset and the controller tangling was starting to irritate me, so i tried this. however, in this wireless controller, there is no xbox live headset, and the port is on the actual receiver for the controller right near the xbox.

the controller feels good, and is very close to the S controller in size, however my fingers tended to slip off the analog sticks.

i ended up selling that one and getting the logitech wireless headset for xbox live, and now i don't have any wires tangling anymore w/the S controller.

Logitech. I have it, it works great. Batteries last forever and the force feedback is great.

related question - I'm about to purchase the Logitech NASCAR racing wheel (in preparation for Forza, and I have NFSU2 already)... any reasons why I shouldn't ? I've never owned a racing wheel of any kind before... does it add to the gameplay that much more ?

yep..:thumbsup:

great controller.
with force feedback enabled, you should still get great battery life out of it.
only thing i dont like is the dpad, feels a little off for me. (flimsy?)
also, the analog sticks are a little higher than normal, but after a month, you get used to all of this.
