Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 with Vibration Feedback (Black)
Customer Review: it just works
Summary: 5 Stars
The best products simply do exactly what you expect them to do. This is one of those items. I've used gamepads for a variety of platforms (xbox, ps3, etc.) yet this was the first time that I used one with my PC. Now that I've got my PC hooked up to the widescreen LCD in the living room, I've been using it more for videogames as well as movies, music and photos. The rumblepad is recognized on my winxp media center edition without any driver installation, and works flawlessly with all of the games I play that have joystick configuration. I was surpised that some of my favorite games are not designed to work with a joystick, and only allow mouse input. No worries, as I find my logitech cordless mouse works just as well as a game controller. I've found the wireless to work without a hitch, even in a room with 802.11g, 5.8ghz cordless phones and a logitech wirless keyboard and mouse all running at the same time. The keypad feels natural and comforable during game play, and I've used it for hours without fatigue.Customer Review: A Gaming Controller
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this gaming controller for street fighter 4 and i loved it! It is accurate controller with a stunning D-pad i have ever felt. However when buying this controller i thought it would be extremely similar to my PS3 controller because of the design but it is BIGGER than the ps3 controller, doesnt really matter to me anyway because i have big hands, but when my girlfriend was using the controller she said it hurt her hands because she cant get a decent grip on it. Other than that you can get all the software updates online and set buttons to what ever you want for any game, however i didnt manage to use the vibrating function yet but it does work! I use it to massage my shoulders when i play games =]. Well what are you waiting for? BUY IT NOW AND LET THE GAME BEGIN
Pros:
-Decent price ($30 when i got it) vs gaming controllers (~$50)
-Amazing D-pad
-Vibration Effects
-WIRELESS
Cons:
-Uses batteries (you probably are going to buy rechargeable batteries)
Customer Review: Good cordless gamepad
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Feels sturdy, its matte finish offers good grip. It's comfortable even with my long fingers. It has good range, I can sit about 10-15 feet away from the receiver. Vibration can be turned off from the gamepad to save battery life.
Cons: The receiver blinks when it is searching for a signal. I find this annoying since it's hooked up to a HTPC that is always on, meaning that the light always blinks. Also, there is no light on the gamepad to let you know that it is on and connected. You can tell that its on by looking at the receiver, since the receiver blinks whenever you press a button. But, if you're like me, then you've hidden the receiver from plain sight. It's a minor annoyance since it makes it difficult to troubleshoot when an application doesn't immediately recognize your gamepad.
Other thoughts: It's a pretty standard gamepad. It doesn't offer any "turbo" buttons, or any other special features that some gamers might look for.
Customer Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was superb quality. The profiling software was simple to use and easy to create new profiles.
Range was beyond phenomenal. I was able to get signal from my computer (on the second story) to my basement. Not only did I get signal, it was lossless. Response time is extremely fast, makes you feel like you are directly plugged in.
The weight of the controller is very nice. It's not too bulky and heavy, it's just the right size and weight. There is only one thing that is not absolutely perfect about this controller. That is, the analogue sticks are bound by squares rather than the ps2 style octagon. This makes it a bit awkward when you're doing things such as madden kickoffs/tiger woods swings. But other than that, this is an absolutely amazing controller. The rumble feature doesn't always seem to work on games, but I truthfully do not care too much about rumble
Customer Review: Greatest Device EVER.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is THEE greatest controller ever made. EVER. EVERRRR. I usually dont review things on here (that is something my husband does enough of for the both of us), but when I saw that there were actually idiots giving this device lower than a four, I had to say something.
If you are having issues with this damn thing, CHECK THE FRIGGIN BATTERIES! All of the problems the people are having are totally battery issued. We had two of these and they are probably still alive and kicking today (I say probably because we lost them to thieves). Never had any issues.
Fact of the matter is... DONT BUY WIRELESS CONTROLLERS IF YOU ARE TECHNOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED. Its as simple as that. Get the good old ones that just plug right into your console or PC. Leave the high tech stuff for those of us who actually know how to use it, and appreciate its perfect greatness.
