Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The PiranhaPad is the ideal intro pad for every sports gamer! Four fire buttons, four turbo fire buttons, plus two speed auto fire makes this a great pad for those fast paced sports and action games. Combined with a great design and a raised d-pad for precise control, the waters are whole lot safer with a PiranhaPad.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the money, December 10, 1999

"-prometheus-" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Interact SV231A Piranha Control Pad (Personal Computers)

While this controller is not as responsive as the newer USB models, it has the advantage of being really inexpensive. This controller is set up just like the Sony Playstation controller and hooks up through your gameport. If you don't want to spend the money this one is for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars DCA Star, September 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Interact SV231A Piranha Control Pad (Personal Computers)

First thing is 1st, it only really has 4 buttons. Those top 4 are turbo buttons. THEY AREN'T SEPARATE!! Installation was shakey... Spend the extra $10 and go get the Gravis... it's the closest thing to the playstation controller that you'll be able to find. If you want $40 will get you the Xterminator by Gravis... That by far is 3 controllers in 1 !!

4.0 out of 5 stars It works!, November 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Interact SV231A Piranha Control Pad (Personal Computers)

All I can say is that it works. I have no complaints about its performance. It's a good deal for the price and if you don't have the $$$$ for a more expensive controller, get this one.

The pad only allows for four button manuevers and cannot be adjusted for the 10 buttons required to play games such as Madden.
