The Final fantasy XIV controller is one of the newest accessories Snakebyte. this controller will work with 32 and 64 bit version of Windows XP, Vista and 7. It also functions on the PS3 however a couple buttons didn’t work in our testing (namely L1 and R1).

At first look the Final Fantasy XIV Controller is  bigger than a standard Playstation controller but thinner as the Xbox controller. The two grips are longer and not so round ,they totally hypnotize you, you feel a sort of need to touch it, discover the sensation of hefting it in your hands, the vibrations are stronger than in a smaller controller and  thanks to its size you have better stability in yours hands.

The Final Fantasy XIV Controller does remind me of  an airplane control, so when you see this uncommon form you have only one desire; hold it in yours hands and start to play and never drop it. For lovers of Final Fantasy it is a pleasure to see the game’s logo on the top of the controller. Otherwise it seems really similar to the other controllers they make for the Playstation 3.

The first thing practical point is that the Final Fantasy XIV controller is sold with a 3 meter  (9feet) cable. It is quite long enough, I think there aren’t a lot of player who have so large of a screen to need to be 5 meters away from it, so 3 meters are enough. The Final Fantasy XIV Controller has a USB connection so it is easy to connect it to your computer, and another positive point is that there’s no driver to search for, nothing to do, your computer should detect it automatically and your only duty is to wait wisely until it finishes installing.

After a few minutes you can use your Final Fantasy XIV Controller, the second step is to configure all of the buttons, 12 in all. They are almost the same as on the other controllers, L1,L2,R1,R2, start button …the biggest difference is that instead of letters or symbols you have numbers.
