Sat Nov 29 2008if you are using this for a fighting game that requires using arrows pad (the grey on far left) to do some super moves or final moves like Mugen, or street fighter style games then this is absolotely not good for you unless you use the analogue instead. till now 2 of these are broken and about 1 hour back the third one is broken too (i mean the grey arrow tab). i bought this cause it contains 6 bottons and it's rarly found anywhere.

Mon Sep 22 2008An excellent gamepad all around--my weapon of choice for nearly every game (despite the fact I own several Logitech Dual-Actions). I find that the controller size is perfect: a bit bigger than the Logitechs, they tend to sit better when I pick up the controller. Both analog sticks are right where your thumbs end up, making it very easy to accurately move them, even when you need to nudge them slight distances with great accuracy. The shoulder triggers are large and well placed-whether you use your pointer and middle fingers or whether you just use the pointer fingers, you'll find that you won't hesitate for a millisecond to find any trigger button. The fact that there are six face buttons is a dream for those arcade-style games that need them (Marvel vs. Capcom, etc). There are two downsides that every single person will face with this controller, though they shouldn't be nearly enough to discourage you. The first is the FPS feature activation button--it sits on the top of the... Read more

Mon Sep 08 2008I do most gaming on my PC but if you want to do any racing games you really need a decent gamepad. This has a plethora of buttons, always gets detected properly, and is very responsive. This was my second purchase of one of these btw. My son needed the first one I bought...

Thu Jul 03 2008This controller has an excellent control layout. However, the analog controls have fairly large deadzones, and the cord is particularly short. The dpad does feel really cheap, but works fine. Unfortunately, there isn't really any other controllers out there right now with a layout like this. It works great for numerous games, from shooters like Goldeneye to platformers. However, one thing this controller is NOT good for is fighting games.

Mon Jun 16 2008I got this pad to play games on my PC (obviously) and love the six face button, four shoulder trigger, two clickable analog stick layout. It's really nice. Unfortunately, the controller isn't the most comfortable thing in the world to hold. It feels a bit bulky and a bit cheaply made, though I haven't had any problems with it. The middle FPS button is nice, as I've found it just swaps the (kinda crappy) D-Pad with the left joystick, but I haven't used the button on the right yet. Finally, there's no start or select buttons! Such a natural pair of buttons to add to any controller and they've been neglected here. Not a huge problem but it just feels weird not having them there. Anyway, this controller's layout is almost perfect. I think a few people here complained about drivers, but it's worked flawlessly through plug 'n play. Zero configuration and it's been great.
