The Advantages of Xbox 360 Modded Controllers

The Xbox 360 controller is an instantly recognisable and well made piece of kit. However, the practice of making modifications to, or ‘modding’, the Xbox 360 controller is becoming increasingly popular. There are several advantages of Xbox 360 modded controllers for gamers of all levels, but how does an Xbox 360 modded controller behave differently to a regular one?

Rapid fire mod

The most common improvement made to modded controllers is the rapid fire mod. Used in first person shooter games like the Modern Warfare or Battlefield series, this mod will vastly improve the effectiveness of your weapon. An Xbox 360 modded controller with the rapid fire mod will turn any weapon that results in recoil before you can fire it again, into a virtual machine gun. By forcing your weapon to fire again immediately, shot after shot, the recoil effect is removed and the effectiveness of your weapon is vastly increased. The advantage of a rapid fire modded controllers when gaming is immense. Not only are you able to let off more rounds than your opponents, allowing you to cause substantially more damage, but the reduced recoil will also improve your ability to move. Not only will this modification allow you to progress through a game easier, but the use of modded controllers in this way can actually improve your enjoyment of a game.

Critics

Critics of Xbox 360 modded controllers may say that their use can give you an unfair advantage in a game. However, how many people have games that they were never able to complete lying around gathering dust? A modded controller with the rapid fire mod can breathe new life into these games, giving the gamer the chance to experience the latter stages of the game that otherwise they would have never reached. Using the rapid fire mod can also provide a different gaming experience to playing a game without it. Many people actually like to play a game both with and without the modded controller, effectively doubling the lifespan of the game. Whatever the critics may say, modded controllers are here to stay. Not only can they enhance your gaming pleasure, they can also extend the amount of gameplay you get out of a title. There is also the option of having a custom modded controller too. Altering the look of the controller by changing the colour, and even making design changes, all add up to a personalized gaming experience that make Xbox 360 modded controllers so popular.
