 An excellent controller....with a very annoying flaw..... December 29, 2008
Coming off a long relationship with the Logitech Rumblepad 2 Vibration Feedback Gamepad I felt it was time for a change. So many controllers available, most were garbage, pure eye-candy but lacking that functionality most gamers prefer. A trip to Microcenter yielded the 360 Controller for Windows. I was really excited to get my hands on it and tear through those gaming genres I haunt the most.
Opening the package I discovered my first gripe about the controller: you're paying the sticker price for an adapter. If you already have a 360 controller, you can use it in conjunction with the 6" USB cable adapter since it seperates from the actual 360 Windows controller cable itself. Money lost, lesson learned, but this really won't deter most buyers.
Overall, I was really pleased with it's performance: an excellent feel, button placements, response, since it's still a 360 console controller there's not much to expect out of the ordinary.
...that is...until Need for Speed came into play.
I've been a faithful NFS gamer since the very first title back in 1994 and this may just be an isolated incident, but, I really wish I purchased another Logitech Rumble strictly for racing games. Twitchy response on the digital pad is putting it lightly as it seems to happen to ANY racing game I endeavor. With the Sensitivity settings at "0" the slightest graze or feather touch of my thumb across the D-Pad results in a unreasonable turn in that direction in-game. Bear in mind, it's TOO sensitive, most controllers can't reproduce this and their dead-zones are way off but this is too much even for what I need it for. I spend most of my time weaving in and out [45 turns or more] of that perfect line I'm trying to ride during races. If it were an obstacle course or a driving exam with road cones spaced apart I'd be king but in NFS:U, for instance, I hit more traffic than I do that perfect line.
Again, this could be an isolated incident, but I've tried multiple systems and toyed with the settings of the controller numerous times, even opting for controller emulation to further fine tune the sensitivity to anything other then "hair-trigger", no luck. Third-person adventures and fighting games [Tomb Raider, the DMC and/or Dynasty Warriors series] don't exhibit the same behavior, FPS do but only once in awhile. It's strictly limited to racing/driving games and, unfortunately, this equates to lost time and positions during races. Not good.
I'd recommend this controller to other gamers only the grounds that the first sign of this same erratic steering you promptly return it to the retail outlet you purchased it from, or buy a Rumble, even a steering wheel setup.
Great Choice December 9, 2008
This is a great controller I've had no problems with this make. It is definitely better then other controllers made for PC only downside is the compatibility to games not enough supported. I recommend Pinnacle to solve this problem though you have to pay for its use. Google for other free support programs though Pinnacle is easiest in my opinion.
great control but doesn't work with most games October 29, 2008
This control works great but it doesn't work with most games. It only works with games that say made for windows. That totally sucks! That's why I gave it four stars.
 2-second delay September 7, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
This controller is the biggest letdown I've ever experienced with a gaming console. Since it was standard with the system I bought, I had no choice. There is at least a 2-3 second delay with each action I take with it. I press 'A' to accept the letter 'a' for my profile name, and three seconds later it appears. Try selecting plays in Madden with that kind of delay. This is a completely worthless piece of garbage. BTW, I'm working within 4 feet of the console, with nothing in between the controller and the console. Perhaps I got a lemon. Garbage.
Just One Controller, please... September 4, 2008
Hey!
I have a few things to say about this controller.
It was easy to connect and install on my PC, but I was led to wonder...
I have not been a big fan of first person shooters, etc. but sometimes you need a controller. Let's be honest: Who here is tired of playing Battlefield 2142 with the keyboard?
This one is compatible with both the XBox and the PC. So it seems ideal, but it begs the question as to why, in this day and age, with PC technology advancing rapidly, I should need different controllers in the first place.
I mean, why should joysticks, etc. be necessary, when PC, and console users, have access to such a capable and compatible controller?
It works well, and it is easy to install, so it gets top marks. The fact that it does not interface with all applications knocks it down a little. Perhaps in the future a universal controller will be made available...
