 K.I.S.S. or Keep it simple stupid November 23, 2008
Michael Hall (Alabama)
What can be said about this product other than it works, and it needs no driver disk. You can plug it in and be playing with it in the time it takes your emulator of choice to boot up. I've used it for NES, SNES, GENESIS, MAME, and it performs beautifully every time. THIS is the penultimate controller to get before you go analog stick. It does everything it's supposed to and it is easy to use, what else do you want? For it to serve chilled vodka shots? Well it doesn't, because it's a game controller, silly. That would be awesome though . . .
good controller! November 22, 2008

I did suppose I can buy a good control using small amount of money. But I really did, it is a good purchase for me and thanks!
Works great with EA sports games. November 20, 2008
A. Gibson
I have had bad luck with plug n play controllers in the past, but I must say this is a great little gamepad. If your looking to play sports games on your pc, this one works great with any EA title. I have not tried with any of my FPS games yet, but I'm sure it will do just fine. Well worth the $10 I paid for it.
 Excellent controller; poor software support. November 17, 2008
Mark Twain
This is an excellent controller at a great price. The ergonomics are comfortable and the buttons are as responsive as you would want them to be every time. That being said, the software support is terrible.
The controller is technically "plug and play" (with Mac or PC) but in reality this is basically useless since the ability to program the buttons is NOT plug and play. I used this on both a Mac and a PC, and there are issues with both operating systems. Here is what I found:
Mac:
There is no software included with the controller for Mac and more importantly there is no Mac software available from the Logitech site. To advertise this as a Mac controller I think is slightly misleading. Again, the controller is only as good as the software. So, you will need to download a program called Gamepad Companion from the internet which works perfectly to program your buttons on a Mac.
PC:
There is no software included with the controller. You have to download the software from the Logitech site. The software is extraordinarily frustrating. In fact I have never seen such a poorly designed controller program. It will not let you program any of the keys unless you tie the program to a specific game located on your hard drive. I tried tricking it and tried going around the back door but the program is smart enough to know this and it still won't work. You have to have one of about three different types of executable game files on your hard drive in order to use this program to program your buttons. Once you have finished it will even try to open the game program itself and if it won't work it won't let you save the program! Pure fascism! So, I'm sure there are some third party options but I just ended up using an emulator program to do so since I just got this for emulation roms anyway.
So bottom line overall this is a good value on a great controller with miserable software support.
2D control all the way! October 22, 2008
1000falcon (Mobile, USA)
I got this controller to play 2D games. The D-Pad isn't as great as I expected but it still works very well. Its sturdy, light and very comfortable. These controlers are very hard to find and most with analog sticks tend to have horrible D-Pads. Im happy with this purchase and have many hours of play time on this controller.
