Reminds me of a DC controller (which if you don't remember, most people thought with the original Xbox controller).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Well its a korean company, plus samnsung got into business by making cheap ass knock offs , so this is kind of going back to their roots.

the design team was like "oppan Xbox style!"

I would say its a little too similar. they need to cahnge the color of the buttons and possibly the symbols on them too. Other than that I am glad to hear this news. As more people connect real controlers to their phones and tablets the more likley we will get better games on them. I dont like how it attaches to the phone

Ugly as F.

If they were going to copy, at least they could have kept real sticks and ergo form factor.

Does the 360 controller have a giant screen on it? No, this is far from being a ripoff.


It's similar. At least admit that. D-pad is the same shape and design, it's white like the 360 controller, hell even the buttons are the same color, all 4 of them and in the same pattern in the exact same spot were the 360's are. The analog sticks are also in the same position. It has shoulder buttons, that is pretty minor though. Not sure if it's sue-worthy but to deny they look the same... Admit that at least!!

Nope.
