TSZ (Three Six Zero) Xbox 360 Pelican Pad

(Model #PL-3601) Likely one of the first third-party licensed controllers made for the system. According to Pelican (from the c|net review in 2006), "TSZ" is acronym for Three Six Zero, which references the titular Xbox system itself.

The controller's design is near-identical to that of the original XBOX 360 controller, except for it's shape, the design of the START and BACK buttons, and the Xbox Guide being a button with a picture slotted in rather than a physical Guide button based on the logo. Additional design elements include the "TSZ" graphic on the left leg of the controller, and the Pelican logo on the right.

Current Findings:

• Originally retailed at $29.99 USD.
• Rumble was apparently weaker compared to the original.
• 4 Colors were released: White, Blue, Silver, and Camouflage*.* (There were additional plans to add colors like red, light blue, green, and orange, for a summer release, but it's unknown if they have ever released.)
• May have had a revision that reduced the sound of the LB and RB bumper buttons, as evidenced by IGN's review in 2006: "the TSZ's LB and RB buttons make a particularly loud click when depressed... Pelican have told us that the company is working to minimize the click noise."
