4.0 out of 5 stars Better than their Dual Action, April 26, 2005

By	J. Darpinian - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This controller is better than Logitech's Dual Action USB, even if you ignore the added vibration feature. The area under the four main buttons has been hollowed out, making it easier to hit them, and all the buttons have a slightly higher-quality feel.

The biggest improvement is in the D-Pad. The D-Pad of the dual action is terrible, which makes it unusable for many types of games. For example, it is impossible to reliably use even simple fighting game moves such as SubZero's freeze or Ken/Ryu's fireball. The Rumblepad's D-pad, however, is much improved, plus it has a useful button that swaps the D-Pad and the left analog stick in case your game doesn't recognize the D-Pad (some don't). The D-Pad feels a little strange, and it doesn't quite reach the quality of the D-Pads on Nintendo or Sony products, but it does the job.

I have this pad, a Logitech Dual Action, and a Saitek P880, and I recommend this pad as the best of the three (unless you need six thumb buttons or a shift button, in which case Saitek is still a good choice, with or without vibration).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice gamepad, August 1, 2005

By	R (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

I like this gamepad a lot. It's got a very solid feel. I'm using it with emulator games on my pc, like snes, n64, etc. Everything feels right on it, and installation was easy (just plugged it in). It feels very similar to a Playstation 2 controller (and similar control layout) but feels thicker, and the ergonomics are better (the surface material has a very nice texture and seems to fight hand sweating). Rumble feature works well if your game supports it. Looks slick too. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a good gamepad.

5.0 out of 5 stars great gamepad, January 14, 2005

By	Dennis D. (Oregon, United States) - See all my reviews

This is my first ever gamepad for a PC and it sure beats using the keyboard (for gaming). This USB controller is the best on the market for PC gaming. It's very simliar to the PS2 controller. Fits very comfortably in my hands. Logitech did a fantastic job w/ it's ergonomics. Personally, I wish they would've added some color to it by using transparent "jewel" buttons instead of the black. Maybe even make the whole thing transparent (like some PS2/XBOX controllers). It has a steel blueish metallic finish. Great price point, I got mine for 23 & change. WIN98,2000,Me, & XP, Mac OS X (v10.2.3+).... no "rumble" feature w/ macs
