Hi Zappy, many many thanks for your information regarding the controller! Looks perfect and seems to even improve the 360-controller, nice! Have fun further on and enjoy!

I made sure to try the car one twice for you!  But I didn't get to race as they didn't have a playable Forza 5. 

But did get the 'vroom vroom' feedback in the triggers.

Awesome. I planned on getting Forza 5 day 1! I usually don't go with rumble when playing, this seems similar yet completly different. Forza 5 better utilize the feature well!

 

How do the controller's shoulder buttons feel? I've heard they're harder to press.

Don't go with Rumble?  This I just don't understand.  It's like my friends with 3D Tv's that never watch things in 3D.  (I have some games that I am waiting to have a 3D TV to play.)  Or being in a comitted relationship with a hotie and never having sex.  Or peole that hate warm brownies with vanillia ice cream; I just don't get it/can't relate.  I am not picking on you, just curious as to why.

I know some people find it distracting or don't like the feeling.  Why don't you like rumble?  I feel it is safe to assume you can turn it off.  It it distracting? Uncomfortable? Just curious.

"Also how were the a,b,x,y buttons? aren't they a little closer together now?"

They felt very comfortable.  I didn’t really notice a difference.  My thumb knew exactly where to go, but I did have like 40 people waiting in line behind me.

Oh, and I forgot to feel for the bumpers.  Now I want to go back and try them some more…
