3.0 out of 5 stars Good, just not great, May 12, 2001

Let me start off by saying this is a good joystick. However, if you are choosing between this and a Dual Shock joystick, I suggest going with the dual shock. Firstly, you can just tell the dual shock is higher quality. Also, the buttons are way too close together. There are 6 buttons on the face, but the 2 rightmost buttons default to L1 and R1. You think you are hitting triangle or O, but you end up hitting L1 or R1 by mistake due to the buttons being so close together. Also, the D-pad is analog which can be good for some people. However, if you plan on using it for a fighting game then it is horrible; it is very hard to do a double-tap on the d-pad because of its analog nature. In my opinion, the thumbsticks are made to be analog, leave the D-pad under digital control. Finally, the rumble is a little overdone. It is cool to feel, but the joystick sounds like it is about to explode. The sound can be so loud at times that it drowns out the game. In conclusion, I feel this is a decent gamepad; it does the job. But if you plan on playing fighting games or want the highest quality joystick (in my opinion), go with Sony's Dual Shock.

2.0 out of 5 stars CONTROLLER IS A WASTE OF MONEY, June 29, 2002

This review is from: Stormchaser Gamepad (Video Game)

this controller is bulky, its not very comfortable the bottom line is even if you think your hands are big enough to handle it, buy a regular dual shock 2 controller thats what i did pay another 5 bucks and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble, the program function is useless, the analog joysticks are too tight, the two extra buttons are just plain annoying, and the shoulder buttons are impossible to use, by the way it look like something batman would use

2.0 out of 5 stars not average, January 1, 2002

This review is from: Stormchaser Gamepad (Video Game)

thois controller is good but it does have problems.

#1 the sides of the controller are good for larger hands like that of shaq but for us smaller peeps it makes it too hard to press the buttons
#2 the analogs are hard to reach because of the placemens of the grips.
#3start and select buttons are hard to reach.
#4 the shoulder buttons are very hard to reach and are put at an awkward angle .
#5 too rounded. slips out of your hands if you dont get a good enough grip.

the controller isnt crap, it is just angles for a more bigger handed gamer. if you are feeling fine with the dual shock 2 and want another controller and if your hands are small, dont get it. opt for a regular dualshock or a dual shock 2 only diff between these 2 is the colour
