![]() Performance: Aside from its unique extra function, the AirFlo is a solid controller. Even when compared to both of Microsofts first part offerings, the AirFlo delivers a smooth, yet floaty at times, experience. Unlike the Dreamcast controller-like shape of the standard controllers, the AirFlo takes a shape reminiscent of the old Star Trek insignia. After a year of holding the former shape, the latter takes a little getting used to, but in the end proves to be the more comfortable of the two. ![]() As I stated before, I have never thought about sweaty hands as being a problem while gaming. I have caught myself rinsing my hands off or wiping them on my clothes a few times, but I have never really noticed the problem. The fan function is easy to use, just press the On switch and you are in business. For gamers with hands that are sweatier than usual, the fan can be switched between slow and fast at the press of a button. The sweat on your hands is water, and the air generated from the vents is usually cold. What this means is that after about an hour or so of playing, I had to let go of the controller because my hands were cold. I also found that I actually noticed that my hands sweating while playing with the AirFlo, which was not the case when playing with a standard controller. This is mostly due to the previous problem of my hands being so cold. ![]() As far as the fan goes, its something that is neat for the first few days, but ends up being an annoyance in the long run. I am sure some gamers will love this feature; I on the other hand, did not.
