This review is from: Game Elements Wireless PC Control Pad for Windows Operating Systems (Video Game)
This is the same controller as the Phillips brand, and it's total garbage. The analog sticks work okay, but the unforgivable part is the d-pad. You can press up and down or left and right at the same time. (actually, up/down/left/right can all be pressed at once, just by pressing down in the middle of the d-pad). This makes the controller completely useless for emulated games, platformers, side-scrolling shooters, or any game for which the d-pad is the primary input. When both up and down are pressed at the same time, most games have no idea what to do, and your character will just not move, or will do something totally unexpected.
If you're going to use this stick for Quake type first person shooters or a flight sim or some game that uses the analog sticks, it will be okay. Not great, but okay. But for old school gaming, this is not the controller for you.
