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.

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 !!

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.

This a great! If you get it to work. First call Tech support. Great price too!

First of all, the directions on the website are better then in the booklet you get. The ones in the book skip over steps and basically make it very confusing, to even the experienced gamer. When I finally got mine to work, the only buttons on my controller that even worked were the direction keys, so I'm returning mine. I never even got to use mine other then making a character walk around, which is boring because I couldnt jump or do anything. I should have went by the other reviews and stayed away from this and just spend more on a better one. Well now I know, and now I have to waste another 2 or more weeks to send mine back ... just to get ...refunded. Let the good times roll.. :(

This controller is great. It's just like the one for play station. it's probably real good for games made for the computer that are also for playstation. i just ordered one myself.

I did have some problems installing it because I'm not the PC tech, but the 1-800 customer service people were amongst the best I ever encountered. I don't get the previous reviewer's problem, what do expect for the price. I guess if I become a better game player I may look at more expensive pads, but this does the job and I saved enough to buy a new mouse.

I guess I am not along when i say i would really like to rate this game pad, but can not use it. it seems i need the driver to run it on my windows98 system. I have tried all the trouble shooting and my game port works just fine when i plug in my Gravis flight stick but does not recognize the game pad. does anyone know where to get drivers for this thing?

i have owned this controler for 6 months, i can`t use it because i have no drivers? to run it in my system! thankyou!
