At the bottom of the screen is the profile listing. It's sorta like a Paint-By-Numbers book but entirely different. You see a picture of the Air Flo EX with numerous configuration buttons pointing to everything on the controller. Console ports are usually the biggest offenders here.

But if you consider that there are very casual PC gamers out there who, for instance, spend most of their time playing Halo 2 but would like to try out Half-Life 2 with a configuration and control scheme they know and love, this can be helpful.Īnd even ignoring FPS games, there are plenty of games out there that don't include full joystick support for whatever reason or sometimes don't allow you to customize the buttons however you'd like. Now, this is PC gaming we're talking about here and FPS games should be played with the keyboard and mouse.

While many action games will already include joystick compatibility and (hopefully) let you map whatever keys you want to whatever buttons you want, that's not always the case, especially with something like first-person shooters.

I'll get back to the "pretty much" part in a second.

The Air Flo EX mapping software is the main difference between the old Air Flo for PC/Mac and the newer Air Flo EX in that it lets you assign almost any keyboard or mouse button, and even mouse movement, to pretty much anything on the controller. Instead of just using it as a Plug-and-Play joystick however, you'll want to check out Nyko's GamePad Mapping Tools. Speaking of USB powered, the controller is Plug-and-Play for either WinXP or Mac, so you can just pop it in and it should work perfectly fine. One nice thing is that the fan is USB powered so you don't need batteries or any of that nonsense. While I can deal with the low setting, the high setting is probably only usable while seated next to a running jet engine. It feels good, sure, but it's annoyingly loud. The airflow in the low setting is enough that you probably don't need to switch to high, which is rather noisy. I could see how it could bother some people though. If you have your sound cranked or are wearing headphones it may not be too big of a deal. The low setting makes the controller put out a bit of a whirring sound.

Off is obviously silent (this controller would probably fail all kinds of FCC regulations if it wasn't, plus I'd be afraid). There's a three-way switch in the center that swaps between off, low and high speeds. The fan works really well in keeping things cool. If you've ever used any of the other Air Flo controllers then you know exactly what to expect here. Air gets sucked in there and then spat out through numerous tiny holes throughout the grips. The back (or bottom, depending on how you look at it) of the controller houses the large intake fan for the controller's air circulation. The main selling point behind the Air Flo controllers is the fan, of course. The analog sticks are sized pretty nicely and have a fairly good amount of resistance a tad looser than the Controller S, but tighter than the Dual Shock 2. Like the size thing, it's not something that can be overly complained about, but it isn't perfect. The buttons are still a tad clunky, which while imperfect are very usable and responsive. I wouldn't say it's too big, but I'd personally appreciate maybe a 10-15% reduction in size.

The controller is still a tad large, much bigger than a PS2 Dual Shock 2 controller but smaller than the original Xbox controller. You'll also find the three-way power switch for the fan in the center of the controller. Two analog sticks, four main face buttons, four shoulder buttons, a d-pad and three buttons in the center. It certainly makes the controller look much more busy and less plain than the past release.Īside from the superficial looks though, the button layout is exactly the same. There are now thick, shaped outlines around the controller, much akin to Van Gogh's "De Meisjes van de Rookwolk van de macht" phase. The casing itself is physically the same, though there's been quite a bit of tweaking done to its look. If you look at the images in the Air Flo review and compare them to the one below, you'll notice that the two look quite similar with regards to button layout. Otherwise we'd be repeating ourselves, wouldn't we? Aha! But there's more! For that is why this review for the Air Flo EX exists. If you've read our review of the original Air Flo for PC/Mac, then you'll have a good idea of what's in store here.
