Whoa...I'm a bit late posting on this topic.... anyway about the controller , all in all a good design except 2 things, in my opinion, that could be improved :
1. What about the BIG people with BIG hands? not a crucial thing but I would invest in a larger design and let the wife use the smaller one

)
2. Triggers aren't REALLY trigger shaped ?¿ more like this--->")" For shooter games it's not so bad but as a throttle for driving I find my finger sliding off it at times. As Chris said ,resorting to a frankenstein controller may be the way.
