Great if you can't give up the mouse for FPS games
The Bannco Scorch was worth trying after playing games primarily on the PC for 20+ years.
- Setup only worked with an official Xbox wired controller. The third party wired controller I had did not work.
- I experienced a bit of interference but was easily solved by adding a USB extension cable and then moving the receiver/adapter away from the Xbox. You can also adjust the frequency of the controller but I did not need to after adding the extension cable.
- There is no port for a wired headset. Plugging a headset into the wired controller did not work. A wireless headset is required to be able to talk online.
After the above issues were solved, the controller worked very well for me in the Call of Duty Games, Borderlands, and Orange Box.
The Bannco Scorch was an improvement for me over the regular controller for FPS games.
great game fast delivery
Mouse is great but you need to be really great with computers to use it to the max. Im not really into computers i gave it to my bro for an hour and he had it set up. No real Manuel so you have to figure a lot of stuff at first go to a lot websites . The only downside is if go to other shooters you need to spend a good 10 mints to reset the sensitivity of the mouse and game plus the buttons. It is great better then a controller only if you use it with one shooter finish then start an other online career.
Practice makes perfect
Although this product is not perfect, once you work with it a while and install some firmware upgrades it's not too bad. It is not as good as pc game mouse control, but it is the next best thing. There are some snags such as RF interference, but the firmware allows you to change the frequency to one that fits your environment. If you are one who hates using an Xbox 360 controller in FPS games, then this is the contoller for you.
Headache
Where do I start? jumpy laggy movements I have tried everything to remedy the problems. I went to the bannco forums and I see many posts with the same troubles.
People mentioning the radio frequency adjusting, shutting off router, be closer to xbox, mouse surface, this device conflicts with just about all things in my household I was told. I'll stick with the gamepad this has been some ordeal another lesson learned.
