It's pretty. Still need to research it before applying the bank account, like I don't understand the dome-like d-pad thing (though I know you can change it out)

Looks cool. What are the little green things on the bottom for?

Would this thing work on a PC?

Man, this controller is sexy looking.

What's the purpose of the 1/2 button on the middle?

Looks great.

They probably should have cleaned the controllers (and sticks) a tiny bit better before taking such close shots, but hey even in porn there's the odd bit of stubble the actresses miss.

Looks good , how is the build quality?

Also I find it toooo expensive with ~ half the cost of the whole system (+controller+game)

It's a very beautiful controller, reminds me of the silver Xbox 360 one which I like very much as well.

I'm not ready to put 150€ for that though.

I'm telling you right now. If you value your money, saving for trips, or just want to pay off debt... do NOT handle this controller. You will be sunk. I have seen faces of the most disdainful snob melt into adoration in seconds after using it.

Can someone explain what that stuff underneath is, P1 and the switches? Like, how would I use them in CoD or Halo?
 
Looks so damn sick. Can't wait to get one. I always thought the xb1 controller needed a little more weight like how the 360 controller felt once it had the chat pad attached.

They are pressable "paddle" buttons, which you can map to various buttons in your control scheme. For example, you could map "jump" to a paddle so you don't have to take your thumb off the right stick to jump like you would have to if it was mapped to A.

Oh gee. I can't wait until mine comes in. It makes me feel so dirty looking at these pictures. I think we need a NSFW tag on the topic name.

Switches are for the hair trigger. They allow you to have a much shorter movement when you fire in FPSes. The other levers are remappable on any other button. For example in halo, if you don't want to move your fingers from the triggers you can remap the bumpers to the bottom levers. Or for example you could use them to sprint/snipe instead of having to push down the analog sticks.
 
Looks great.

Just hope they've improved the thumbstick microswitches and got rid of that damn grey grommet/clip that causes all the left stick issues.
