Great transaction, quick shipping. I'm not sure why all the reviews that I read said that this game pad did "not" work for them. This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game pad works outstandingly and not just on my COD:MW2 but on all of the first person shooter games that I own and even on my racing games, I am still working through my games to see how many it works with but I haven't found one game that is doesn't work with yet. The profile editing software also works great. The game pad makes playing games so much better than using the keyboard and mouse at the same time, with 20 different programmable buttons {You do need to change the POV pad from a 4 way to a 8 way in the profile editor but that is really easy to do} plus the two joysticks this game pad has everything you need all in one really nice feeling controller. Considering that other people are having issues with this item I would add that you need to install the drivers and SST {Profile editor} software according to how the instructions on the disk that accompanies the game pad tells you to, put the disk in and follow the instructions before you plug in the game pad, it's really in the middle of the installation process when it instructs you to plug in the "controller that you want to update". Other than that it should work as well for you as it does for me so, Buy with confidence. Thanks Amazon.

Sure is people that dont follow directions in here. Followed them (and they're pretty simple, derp) works fine on Win7 ultimate 64bit so PROBABLY works just as well in xp. It does say, however, that you dont have to install the profile software for the controller to work but.. you pretty much do. Configuring was a bit confusing at first but after reading a little of the online tutorial you realize how simple it is. Protip: make a ps2 profile, delete the thumbstick inputs, set to startup profile. Good sticks and also the best feeling controller I've ever owned. Almost silky >.<

The only complaints that I have are the bumpers (need a little too much force), Dpad is hard and shouldnt be used for movement, and the cord is a little short (maybe 3-4ft).

Giving it a 5 to even out the tech impaired but would only give it a 4 because of the negatives.

EDIT July 26, 2011: After 9 months of very light use, I've noticed poor button quality. Having to use a lot of pressure to the point where it feels like applying any more would break the sensors. Even then, holding buttons down is a gamble, you never know when it'll fail to register. This is most apparent in games that require aiming (like resident evil or MODERN WARFARE). It's more of a hassle then a controller and I regret not getting 360 controller to begin with. 3 out of 5!

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Work Properly / Poor Tech Support, February 28, 2011

This controller looks and feels great. Unfortunately, the fun stops there. With Modern Warfare 2 on the PC, the controller's buttons aren't assigned properly. There is an installable profile editor that should allow the user to modify button assignments, but it doesn't work. I can view the profile and adjust the button assignments, but they aren't saved or updated on the controller.

I sent a message to the tech support people. No response for weeks. Sent another message...finally got a response with one suggestion to download new drivers. That didn't fix the problem. When I replied that the problem continues, they stopped responding to all messages. I now have a worthless controller.
