Datelâs completely unauthorized TurboFire2 wireless Xbox 360 controller not only directly connects to the Xbox 360 without a dongle, you can connect it to your PC to apply âcustom controller enhancements.â Microsoft should sue! Oh wait

But that doesnât stop Datel from introducing new features to a controller thatâs already traversing shadowy territory.
Using a USB cable, players can connect the controller to any PC and use Datelâs Customizer application to download custom controller profiles. With it players can, say, remap Halo: Reachâs controls to mimic Call of Duty: Black Ops, which seems innocent enough.
They can also adjust the rate of the turbo fire, set up a special Sniper Mode, or limit the recoil they normally get while firing a weapon. Players can even set up macros for special moves. The video on the Datel website shows Super Street Fighter IV as an example.
Itâs no more cheating than tweaking your PC controls, but Xbox Live is normally a more controlled environment. If another player came at me with his service pistol firing like a machine gun, I would probably lose it.
The TurboFire2 is available at the Code Junkies website for $44.99, so not only is it more flexible, itâs also a little cheaper than Microsoftâs standard controller.
Pick one up at your own risk. With the recent PlayStation 3 firmware update blocking out unofficial third-party controllers, I donât see why Microsoft couldnât do the same.
