A few years ago I saw a controller made for the PC that had a fan and vents to cool your hands which looked amazing. I don't recall the brand name, but I do remember it was PC only and being an Xbox 360 gamer, while it was compatible with my needs, it obviously wasn't compatible with my equipment.
Fast forward to a year ago when I came across the Air Flo by Power A. Now they only have the Medal of Honor version, but whien I bought it the controller was just released, so it was in basic black. I instantly loved the feel and design as well as the features. I have quite a collection of various controllers with unique designs and features which I purchased over a few year period as I searched for my favorite weapon against online opponents -- I finally found it with the Air Flo! All other third party controlers I had used either broke after a month, or I just didn't like/couldn't get used to so I'd go back to a regular Microsoft controller. The Air Flo was different...
It has been almost a year since I made the video below and the Air Flo is still plugged into my 360. It is my ONLY controller...so much so that I even bring it to friends' houses when we're going to play Xbox. All others feel wrong to me now. I love the fan, it works as it should and as strong as it did day one. The rubber grips are great for keeping a tight hold while in an intense gaming session, and the LED lights always get a reaction. It has stood the test of a year which, as most gamers know, is quite an achievement for a third party controller that only cost about $35. I can't recommend this controller highly enough, it is solid, its features are unilike any other controller...and yes, it works on PC too.
If you are in the market for a new controller but don't want to shell out the $55-$60 for a first party Microsoft one, get the Air Flo -- you won't regret it, I guarantee it.
Below is the original video I did for Facebook on my initial impressions of the controller after a few days of use and my opinion has not changed. (I apologize for the somewhat low quality of the video, it was shot on my phone.)
