Advantages: makes you feel like you are playing a console game
Disadvantages: no drivers for wireless version as yet.

...but there is a downside. Microsoft have not as yet created a driver that enables you to use this controller to it's full functionality on older games such as gta san andreas. That said though i feel it was well worth the money and the connection to the pc is superb using bluetooth and a usb reciever. There is the added bonus that comes with this controller and that is the fact that it can be used on a xbox 360 aswell. This is because the controller ...
...the one inside the xbox 360 console. Overall feel of buttons: All the buttons on the controller are very well situated for any gamer. The joysticks have a very smooth feel to them and that makes the gameplay feel more real. So far i have had no problems at all of buttons sticking or joysticks starting to lack the original smoothness but in time i will post an update if that changes. Conclusion: If anyone is thinking of buying this then i would ... Read review

Advantages: It's one of best game controllers I've found
Disadvantages: Not for people who hop from one game to another

...been previous versions of this Belkin pad, it only has one competitor that I'm aware of: the Saitek Pro-Gamer Command Unit. I bought the Belkin product first, and loved it. Lured by the fancy lights, and my good experience with Saitek in the past, I bought the Saitek product to replace this, and I only half regret doing so. I've never liked using the keyboard to play a game, and this is an excellent solution. The software that comes with it does ...
...with the joystick, whereas the Belkin unit is laid out in a way which makes this more difficult. However, although the Saitek software makes for much, much better programming - it does everything the Belkin software does, and much more - I've had a problem which I suspect is a conflict with my Saitek joystick (x52), resulting in frequent system crashes. Even with the joystick disabled, the profile manager locks up or fails to load. There's nothing ... Read review

Advantages: Superb build quality and design
Disadvantages: none

I bought one of these originally to play Pro Evolution Soccer with, and it was so good that i was harranged into buying another one by all the people who wanted to play. The build quality is stunning and i have yet to have any sort of problem with the pads. The buttons are responsive, and the analogue works well. The vibration worked well when i tried it in Combat Flight Sim. The pads are great value for money if you look around, i found them for ...
...they retail for about 25 quid on logitechs website. The pads are strong enough to survive my use, which involves falling off desk, getting stood on etc, so they are pretty sturdy,. There are 10 buttons if you include the two middle buttons, then 2 more buttons which are used to swap the d and analogue mappings around and then to test the vibrate and to switch it on / off. Overall, Superb pad ... Read review

Advantages: Wireless, dont have to get up to turn on/off console
Disadvantages: Runs on battteries so you need a plug and charge kit really

Ever since getting the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) when I was 9 years old I've had a bit of a obsession with consoles and gaming. Having gone through a massive list of different machines and accessories over the years (such as the SNES, Megadrive, Mega CD, Neo Geo, Dreamcast, N64, Sega Saturn, PS1, PS2 and more) I've used many different controllers of different shapes and sizes. The Xbox 360 Wireless controller is one of the top ...
...and grey design with coloured buttons, the wireless feature is a priceless addition to gaming. No more people tripping over wires and yanking your console from the stand, no more spending time unraveling knots before packing your console away to take elsewhere, add to that the feature you can turn your 360 on or off just with the press of a button on the controller and we have one of the best pads on the market. It may not be as comfortable as the ... Read review
