1.0 out of 5 stars Problem filled Gamepad, March 14, 2005

By	G. Guberlal - See all my reviews

I want to make this review rather short. First, it's an easy to install Gamepad and looks very promising. You have the easy PS2 feel, dual-analog control pads, and a comfortable fit. You can install the drivers or not. It doesn't really make a difference because Windows will recognize it.

The problem with this Gamepad is that it is not very durable. I bought and tested this controller with MVP Baseball 2005 & Need for Speed Underground 2. What happened is, I had to take the controller back 3 times to have it replaced because the analog sticks would give out or get stuck in a certain postion. Now, in MVP Baseball, for example, you need the right stick to dive/slide with. Well, the analog stick stuck to the right in 2 of them I tried, so that ends up leaving you to have automatic fielding because you can't get to the ball when the player is diving for no reason. With Need for Speed, I found that the 1 controller where the left analog stick went out, the cars were just out of control.

There are many reviews online as I have found that confirm that Logitech never addressed this controllers issues. Even Tech. Support kept telling me I had just bought a bad controller when I called them on each one.

Be aware, once the analog stick goes, whether it is 2 days or 2 months, you can't calibrate it. The GamePad is useless. I would suggest you go with Nyko's AirFlo Gamepad instead. I've had no problems with that one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Gamepad Ever. EVER!!!!, July 5, 2005

By	Jon Brett (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

Question:

Do YOU enjoy using gamepads that don't allow you to move in a single straight line, allowing only diagonal movement, because the directional pad is so screwed up?

Do YOU enjoy gamepads that don't allow full calibration or adjustment of sensitivity?

Do YOU enjoy products that don't work, will never work and should never be placed on the market by a company that clearly doesn't give a flying flip about whether or not their item actually correctly functions???

If so, the Logitech Dual Action Gamepad JUST MAY BE FOR YOU!

I've bought some terrible gamepads in my time, but never... NEVER... have I experienced a pad that caused so much immediate frustration. The controls are not even close to anything resembling precision. They're unresponsive, laggy, and hideously loose. There's no way you can play any sort of competitive game with this pad. There's no way you can do anything with this pad.

In fact, the very eve in which I bought this pad, I became so enraged with its dysfunctionability that I threw the mother on the floor and began wailing on it with a baseball bat. As the circuitry began flying into my face in little bits and chunks, I realized... this was my destiny. It was my fate to brutally destroy and conquer the Logitech Dual Action Gamepad. I wish I could assassinate every single model. I wish to cast this beast back to the depths from whence it came.

Quite simply put, this pad is a sin upon humanity. I despise you, Logitech. I will never trust you or your bred-of-darkness-evil company again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Everything is well until the left analog starts to act weird, January 25, 2004

By	W. Khoe (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just like what everybody is saying, but it doesn't seem that severe to me though. Played NFS: Underground and Prince of Persia with it, when you constantly move the analog button, you won't feel any difference. It is only when you let go off the button and suddenly your guy started to walk by itself! Pity pity, it could be the perfect gamepad out there that resembles PlayStation gamepad...
