5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, October 16, 2003

This review is from: Belkin Nostromo N45 Dual Analog USB Gamepad (F8GBPC001) (Personal Computers)

This is a cool PSX2 style controller that can be used with just about any game offering gamepad support. I just plugged it in the usb port on my laptop and Windows XP instantly recognignized it-didn't even need the CD. I use it to play all sorts of games including vintage NES and Genesis ROMS and it works fine every time. Theres better controllers out there, but at under twenty bucks, this is the best deal for diehard and casual gamers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars This controller is the best controller out there! Hands down, August 27, 2002

The coolest thing about this controller is every single button is programable you could program the entire keyboard into it if you wanted to. If you have ever used a playstation controller then there is no learning curve its just a tiny bit bigger and has a bar on the bottom of it so as not to infringe on the copyright of the playstation controller( don't worry it's more comfortable and doesn't interfere with gameplay ). So far the games I've played with it are all of the CARMAGEDDON SEIRIES, GRAND THEFT AUTO 3, and other racing, flying, and shooting games. Buy it and you will not be sorry (unless you have small enough hands to hold that .. nintendo game cube controller)
Oh, and shame on the quitters who write bad reviews and blame this most excelent controller because they can't beat the first level of a game! OH DID I MENTION IT HAS A LIFETIME WARANTEE. Buy it now it works with about every operating system, AND HAPPY GAMING (or is happy shooting?)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Controller, June 7, 2003

This controller is the greatest ps2 clone type controller out there. Especially with its ability to use keys from the keyboard. With that ability you can use the controller even on games that dont support controllers. Say you wanted to use the controller with quake 3 (for whatever odd reason) then you could set the up D-pad key to w, down D-pad to s, A to left D-pad, and D to right D-pad and so on.

Anyway its a great controller and it controlls pretty well. Its not very big however maybe a 6 year old or someone with hands of that scale may have trouble grasping it i suppose.

Anywho 5 stars *****
