Thrustmaster Wireless Dual Trigger Gamepad

Smart button layout is the key to making a quality controller, and that’s where the Thrustmaster Dual Trigger Wireless Gamepad (296655) comes up short. With two analog sticks, an eight-way D-pad, twin triggers, and eight control buttons, this unit offers endless remapping, but the smallish triggers are uncomfortable and often pinch your index fingers. That might be acceptable if the additional set of left/right buttons weren’t so awkwardly placed. The hard plastic casing is durable but not exactly inviting.
