The Microcon has a turbo key to save the thumbs of button mashers. We like the triggers a quite a lot, and the longer throw allows for greater touch on the gas and breaks in driving games. Like the GamePad Pro, the Microcon's triggers have a longer throw than the MS 360 pad. The difference is especially apparent in a game like Fight Night 3, allowing for a great deal more precision than the slightly loose official sticks. The analog sticks are quite nice and have a "meaty" character that makes them feel more responsive and tight than the official 360 pad's sticks. The Microcon retains many of the best features of the GamePad Pro.

Quite a bit smaller than the GamePad Pro 360 as well. The soft-plastic housing is comfortable and pleasant to hold, definitely nicer than both the GamePad Pro and official MS 360 controller. Whereas the GamePad Pro makes use of smooth, hard plastic, the Microcon is composed of a very nice feeling rubberized plastic. The second big difference between the Microcon and its big brother GamePad Pro is the texture of the plastic housing. It's not exactly bad, but it's the big difference between the Microcon and the larger controllers. The downside of using the Microcon with big hands is the fact that the triggers are small and close together, meaning you end up pulling them with the middle of your index fingers instead of the tips. I've got pretty big hands myself, and I really liked the Microcon a lot. A fair number of people with large hands really liked the Microcon, while a few with smaller hands actually liked the larger controllers more.
We sat down to some Fight Night 3 sessions and got a variety of feedback. Even those with larger hands might get a kick out of the Microcon. If you're a gamer with small hands and you've found the official 360 pads unwieldy, the Microcon may well be an excellent alternative. Face buttons and the d-pad are all slightly shrunken compared to the GamePad Pro, as are the LB, RB, and Triggers. Compared to the GamePad Pro and official MS 360 pad, the Microcon is a good 30% less bulky, most similar to the original Playstation controller in overall measurements.
In fact, the only major differences between the Microcon and the GamePad Pro are their size and the texture of their plastic.Īs the name suggests the key point of the Microcon is the fact that it's small, very small as a matter of fact. The Microcon is quite similar in design and function to the MadCatz 360 GamePad Pro, which impressed us months ago with its nice analog sticks and solid shoulder buttons. MadCatz is expanding their line of Xbox 360 peripherals with the release of their new Xbox 360 Microcon Controller.
