4.0 out of 5 stars Definite Improvement over the previous Controller(s) from Datel., October 8, 2010

Recommended additional accessory: We strongly recommend also picking up the, Grip-iT Analog Stick Covers by Total Control, available on amazon for about $5. You can find them here: Grip-iT Analog Stick Covers ' Xbox 360/PS3. The reason being is because of the dome shape of the Analog Sticks can cause you to lose your grip. These little silicone covers work wonders at correcting this issue, and you get two sets for $5. They are also universal so if you have the PS3 version of this controller, they'll work just as well. They are also Made in America, always a good thing.

UPDATE: #12: November 2011. While I no longer have this controller I have found out that Datel updated the Customizer software to version 1.6 in November 2011. I don't know if they added any NEW Features or any new games to the Combos but apparently this... Read more

I've tried many third party controllers and I keep coming back to the original Microsoft controller. Why? Because they're all lacking in quality in some way.

Out of all the third party controllers, the Turbo Fire 2 is probably the best due to the Control Customizer software but that's not saying much. It's like being the tallest dwarf.

The D-Pad on this controller is absolute garbage and the analog sticks are incapable of giving you precision movement in first person shooters like Call of Duty Black Ops or Modern Warfare. Even adjusting the stick speed through the software can't make up for the fact that there is a significant dead spot. The movement of the stick either results in very slow increments of movement or very fast and wide movements. There's no in between and there's no precision. I tried the special "sniper mode" and adjusted the sensitivity of the sticks through the software and I still can't get the precision of the original XBox 360... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Windows 7 64 bit cannot update Turbo Fire 2 via certain USB ports, October 5, 2010

I've tested two Windows 7 64 bit machines and "No Datel TurboFire Device Detected" is displayed on the TurboFire 2 Customizer program. Program will not recognize controller and so you cannot update the controller firmware or assign features to the two function buttons. On a Windows XP 32 bit machine I had no trouble connecting the controller and I was able to update the firmware immediately. However, there was not a way to assign macro functions or custom configurations via the Customizer software. I've contacted Datel and so far no response. I will update once I hear back.

UPDATE: John (another Turbo Fire 2 owner) informed me that he had no problems installing. So, I went back and double checked everything. What I discovered that not every USB port works with the Turbo Fire 2. So, if you have any problems... re-install the program as Administrator. Then run the program as Administrator. Then check every single USB port you have and see if the program recognizes the... Read more
