Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 with Vibration Feedback (Black)
Customer Review: Great controller, very good value.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this gamepad for about $25 with shipping brand new. It's built very well and has buttons for pretty much any function you need, though I mainly have only used it for emulators. I play N64 and SNES games on my computer and the controller works well playing Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark, etc.
The wireless funtionality works well, it seems to be very smart about power conservation, as you can see from other reviews the batteries last a good while. The manual says the rumble-feature will be disabled when the batteries get low (you can turn this on/off with a button on the middle of the gamepad as well) and than the batteries should last another 100hrs. I assume the vibration feedback sucks up a lot of juice if you get that much additional time when it's off, so use it as you need to.
The wireless dongle is small, a little bigger than a mathcbox, and has an LED inside to display its status. (i.e. blinking at constant rate shows scanning mode when controller(s) not connected)
Great product esp. for the price. Can't go wrong here!
Customer Review: Nice and Solid, Good Accuracy
Summary: 5 Stars
I bouught this to use with Tiger Woods '07. I had a devil of a time setting it up. Finally, with Logitech's help, got everything going. At first, I didn't think being wireless was going to be necessary, but as most can attest to it grows on you every quickly and eventually you'll want everything wireless in your life. The gamepad is very solid and has a good weight for my arms. I don't get tired of holding it after 18 holes. For me only, it is a little small. I guess my hands are big. I am still on my original set of batteries and I had the gamepad maybe two months now. Of course, I only play with it infrequently. Maybe battery life is terrible if I played with it daily. Overall, I happy with the purchase. I hope I will get more use out of it. I don't play many games, but I got a chance to play Tiger Woods '07 on the PS3 and it was so fun that buying this gamepad and the game was so much cheaper than buying a PS3. The experience has been close, but not the same. After using the PS3 that day, I am nearly hooked on getting one for myself. Just not at its current price point.Customer Review: Quick and Easy

Some years back I got tired of keeping all my old game systems connected (nintendo, snes, genesis, etc), so I created a PC for emulation to play all my old games from a central location. I used to use the gravis gamepad pro (PS style controller), and it worked great. Recently I upgraded the machine to play my old Nintendo 64 games and needed an analog stick, so I made this purchase, and it works flawlessly
1 Drawback however: I would have like to have seen the D-pad be like a real cross (I had the same issue with the gravis gamepad pro), and not a "webbed cross" or "disc". When playing older games, your thumb can slip and instead of pressing right, you're really press more down because part of your thumb is on the "webbed" part between the right direction and the down direction. This drawback however, may be to your benefit depending on what you are doing/playing so take it with a grain of salt. Also keep in mind that if it really bothered me that much, I can always undust the old games and hook them back up.
Customer Review: Can't believe it doesn't have a cord
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this is a new purchase, and I've only used it for just over a month, it is the single best game controller I've had for my PC. I have several other Logitech devices in use on the 2 PC's in my home, and both have been performing flawlessly for over 2 years. This game controller was a stretch for me, I've never had much faith in cordless hardware. This unit may as well have a cord attached to it, it responds better than the Gravis controllers I've had (5), and the action on the joysticks is profoundly accurate. Durability is still in question, since I've only put 30 hours on this unit. My PC is a Dell Dimension 8200, running XP Home edition with service pack 2 already installed (CD version, minimal install). The games I play are Mechwarrior 4 and expansions, NASCAR games. The driving games have been hard to get used to, the controller responds so quickly that I'm not used to that amount of precision. For the price you pay, you can't go wrong. Especially if you're familiar with the Sony Playstation controller.
Customer Review: Works with the PS3
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this gamepad around 2 years ago and it worked perfectly until most PC games now-a-days support the keyboard/mouse and XBOX 360 controller. So I bought my self the XBOX 360 controller and thought I was a little sad until I tested it on my new PS3 Slim, and it worked perfectly fine... Only the rumble feature don't work on the PS3 though. The older PC games don't support the XBOX 360 controller, so I would highly recommend to own both of them if you are a PC gamer... And I highly recommend the logitech brand, it has never disappointed me :D... My wireless keyboard/mouse, and multiple game pads are all logitech...
P.S. All the logitech controllers work with the PS3 that I know of... Even the ones without the analogue sticks, but those can be used with games that don't need analogue sticks... For example; Street Figher IV, or any FIFA game (need to change control configuration from L-Analogue to D-Pad moveing setting)... I can simply switch from my PC games, to PS3... Well enough said, buy this gamepad :)
