Logic 3 USB PC Game Pad

Advantages: Cheap & Reliable
Disadvantages: To many buttons in the middle

...I have been playing on Rugby 06 for about 2 weeks before I decided to buy a controller to play the game on. I didn't really want to spend over £15. So I decided to buy this controller because it was in the half price sale, so I managed to get it for £5. I found a problem while playing with my keyboard that I could not press more than 3 keys at once, so while you are trying to sprint, and move diagonally, it only allows you to do the last 2 buttons pressed, so it would not let you sprint, which got annoying. I found that with the controller I could press more than 3 buttons which allowed me do execute special moves. To use the controller, you just plug it into the USB on you PC, and it will work because it is plug and play. This means that you do not have to install any drivers so can start playing with it sooner than you think...

Review of Logic 3 USB PC Game Pad game pad

Fantastic 360/PC Pad!

Advantages: Great layout, comfortable and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Confusing marketing, crappy D-pad. (wires)

...Refinement: The Xbox 360 wired controller is a refined version of the original Xbox controller S. Taking design hints from the Gamecube controller it was smaller and more ergonomic than the original black brick that was the original design, making it more appealing to a Japanese audience, the pad was so well received they brought it over to the US and Europe. Looks: The Xbox 360 wired controller is a stylish white with a grey band on the underside of the controller. The face buttons are green, red, yellow and blue matching that of the original Xbox design. There is a metallic Xbox button surrounded by a green glowing ring of light in the centre of the controller, which has four quadrants one of which lights up depending on your player number. The analogue sticks and D-pad are grey as is the cord. The pad will look fine just...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - game pad

Best Gaming pad around

Advantages: Wireless
Disadvantages: none

...When we bought the Sony PS3 it came with this controller. The controller itself is uses Wireless technology and does come with a charging cable which can be charged by the PS3. You can also buy a Cintroller Charging Station which you put the controllers on when not using and they will charge. The controller has Dualshock which in Game play vibrates, it does this on fighting games when shot or shot at. The controller is an offical Sony product which cost's around £35 but can be bought online for cheaper. Personally I would always but Sony controllers as they are reliable and are guaranteed to work. We have found this item a bonus as we have a 4 year old who loves running around and used to trip over the old wired controllers, now there is no wires to trip over! I would recommend this controller to all gamers as this...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

Great Wireless pad

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 controllers I have ever used. Coming in a white 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...

Logitech Game Pad

Advantages: Good design, not too expensive, simple installation.
Disadvantages: Force feedback doesn't work properly, only average battery life.

...controllers with integrated buttons, a further 10 buttons including four shoulder buttons and two on the centre console. Stylistically it resembles a slightly more chunky PS2 controller but as that was so well designed to fit in the hand that is no bad thing. I haven't looked but I wouldn't be surprised to find an almost identical pad available as an aftermarket PS2 controller just with square circle triangle and cross on the four main action buttons. Installation is relatively straightforward. The device is class compliant so you can just plug it into a USB port and it will work as a joypad. There is also a driver CD which allows you to configure the button configuration for specific games, but to be honest I don't bother with that. In use the pad is responsive and the controls all fall under the fingers nicely. There is a mode button which you...

Review of Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2 - game pad

Sony game pad

Advantages: very comfort , less in price, etc.
Disadvantages: a bit big in size

...I play games on my computer. And some games are played with keyboard and some are with mouse. So those games which are played with keyboard these are very difficult to play because there are so many keys on keyboard and it is big in size. Those who want play games on computer without any difficulty then they buy Game pad for PC. And In my opinion the Sony Game pad is the best. ?Introduction to Sony Game Pad? It has 12 buttons and one directional button. It is really comfortable. Four buttons are placed in diamond shape and there are 4 different signs on button like Square, Circle, X and Triangle. These are round in shape. It has also two analog sticks. Left analog is also work as directional button. And it has also another directional button in plus shape. Four buttons are placed on its top and they are denoted with L1, R1...

Review of Sony Dual Shock 2 - game pad

A great controller for a great console

Advantages: Wireless, nice design, responsiveness
Disadvantages: Battery issues

...Look and feel I purchased an Xbox 360 Core system on launch day as that was all I could get my hands on so I was stuck for a week or so with the wired controller. When the Wireless controllers finally came back into stock I managed to purchase one and was extremely impressed with it. Do you remember the good old NES controller? a rectangle with some buttons on it! well, controllers have certainly come on since then. The Xbox 360 wireless controller fits into your hands perfectly and feels extremely comfortable. Its not a small controller but it is by no means large either. Its great for long gaming sessions. The standard controller is white, but you can now get a pink, blue, black version too. It a very nicely designed piece of equipment, the buttons all feel solid and the analogue sticks are great. The only downside is the poor D-Pad...

Razer eXactMat Gaming Pad

Advantages: Quaility made mousemat, Gaming grade surface, Excellent for Razer Mice
Disadvantages: Some may fell mat is two big

...Two great mouse surfaces for the price of one! Oneside has been designed for speed and the other side has been designed for control. I use the pad in conjunction with a Razer Mouse and gone of the days of lost mouse control. My own preference is to use the speed surface. The pad is large rectangular aluminium sufface covered by Razer's own special surface. To feel I would say the surface is some kind of advanced plastic coating. Both sides are uniquely different, the speed side of the pad more fine than the control side surface. To complete the feel I also go the Exactmat Hand rest, a gel filled rest that allows long and continued gaming. If your a hardcore gamer and need that little more control I would definately recomend this pad, not only for the control it offers but also for its cool locks. Recommended....

Review of Razer eXactMat Gaming Pad

Wires are no more - wireless is the future!

Advantages: Superb controller with no wires and loads of features and very good feel
Disadvantages: None- except a bit more expensive than wired controller

...back by those annoying wires. The wireless system involves 2.4Ghz technology (not too sure what that means but it works very well) and a 30 foot range. So you can now walk out of the room with the controller in your hand and have absolutely no problems. The fact that it is wireless does mean it requires batteries which fit onto a pack on the back - two AA batteries, but if you don't want to keep buying and changing batteries you can buy rechargeable batteries, which is what I currently own and recharge buy connecting the controller to the xbox through the USB. Look and feel: This controller looks quite cool and is generally white to look the same as the console itself. Of course there are several other versions of the controller including a blue and pink version as well as several different special edition versions such as the Halo...
