Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to set up, very acurate almost like cheating the games (playing the NFS series).Customer Review: Works well at being a controller AND an air conditioner for your hands
Summary: 4 Stars
The Logitech ChillStream Gamepad looks very similar to an XBox 360 controller in button and control placement. It feels a bit hollow, but that is because it has fans that blow air on your hands while you play. This air flow does help nicely when engaging in a long gaming session.
I use this controller on a Windows 7 (RC) machine, and I did not have to do anything special - plugged it in and it worked.
The size is a tad smaller than an XBox controller, and as an XBox owner, I could feel the difference, but it wasn't enough to cause any problems - just noticeable.
PROS: Works well, gives all the controls that one would find on a console controller. Fan does help cool the hands.
CONS: Feels a bit hollow due to the fans. USB cable instead of wireless.
OVERALL: I'd recommend this controller to anyone looking for a good "XBox style" controller for the PC.
Customer Review: Great for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: Fan, layout like the Xbox 360 controller, price, easy install (especially on Vista), fan has an automatic shutoff feature to prevent fan from burning out.
Cons: Center Logitech button is useless (unless you have a "Games For Windows Vista" game), takes some breaking in, no rumble (not really a problem is you use it for games that don't use rumble, like me).
Conclusion: Although buying and expensive controller would probably be nicer, this controller is great for the price. At first the fan seems like a lame edition, but once you use it, it is perfect. The controller takes some breaking in and the buttons are touchy at first, but once you begin to get used to it, the controller works like a charm.
