Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 with Vibration Feedback (Black)
Customer Review: Great Controller
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this controller only two days after I ordered it, even though I chose the super saver shipping option. The controller itself is quite heavy due to the two AA batteries, which is nice.
The controller design is similar to that of the Playstation 2, but the directional pad is nicer as it is not segmented, better suited to fighting games and original Nintendo games.
The battery life seems to be good, I'm still using the batteries that came with it. The wireless response is also very good, and the controller will work from across the room, which is nice if you hook your computer up to your TV.
This is the first wireless controller that I have purchased, as previous experience with wireless controllers (specifically the Nintendo Wavebird) has not been impressive. However, I would highly recommend this controller.
Customer Review: Works perfect with Vista Ultimate 64bit
Summary: 5 Stars
For easy installation on Windows Vista 64 bit, don't even use the cd software it came with. Just go [...] and download the driver for vista 64 or vista 32. After installing the driver, it automatically searches and finds the device. After it installed the controller successfully, I plugged in the second controller, and Windows automatically installed the device for it as well.
Easiest hardware installation yet on Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. I couldn't be happier, but don't expect the rumble pack to work with all games. My wife and I use two of these Logitech Cordless controllers to play Lego Batman and similar games, and it works perfectly. Very nice not having cords in the way, and there is no lag. We have a projector TV and sit far away from the computer/receiver, and have no problems with getting a signal.
Outstanding product.
Customer Review: Logitech did it's best...
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this controller about 3 moths ago and I have been using this thing since then. Here's what I think:
Pros:
- Great Range (I think even more than what is written on specs)
- Stable, durable..
- Neither too heavy nor too light..
- Fast response time..(I couldn't feel any difference between this and a wired one)
- Plug&(little installation)&Play ( Nearly Plug&Play )
Cons: (Not a real con actually, thus I gave 5/5)
- If and only if you used to the PS terminology for buttons ( like rectangle, square etc.) you couldn't find any of it on these. Although it is not meant to be like PS contr. numbers seems like a little bit "too simple" :)
All in all, great controller if you are looking for something to get with your PES (Winning Eleven) on PC...
Customer Review: Great hardware, but careful with bundled games
Summary: 5 Stars
Used the gamepad with Sierra's "Grand Prix Legends" and it works flawlessly - neutral calibration, responsive controls, and the analog sticks feel solid.
The only qualms I have is that Sierra bundled a shareware game, Reiner Knizia's Samurai, without labeling it as such. Nowhere during the installation process did it warn the user that the game is only playable 10 times. The game is discontinued so you'd have to find an existing registration somewhere, but even after registering, reinstalling the game shows that it still remembers the old play count, so it must have stored a hidden file somewhere on the hard drive.
Conclusion: install the drivers, but check each game before installing, don't assume they are special-edition versions like normally ship with graphics cards.
Customer Review: Great gamepad, supports multiple controllers
Summary: 5 Stars
We picked these up (two initially, just bought two more for four total) for playing legacy Nintendo 64 games on our theater PC. Nothing like RoadRash64 on a 100" screen!
The controllers fit our hands well, are of suprisingly good build quality, and all buttons feel solid.
Multiple controllers (which I could find no-one talking about) actually work easily and well. We have all four plugged into a USB hub, sitting next to one another, and they all appear in the game controller control panel in Windows XP. My only complaint about them is if you unplug and reconnect the receivers you have to reassign controllers to receivers. This makes it difficult to label controlers 1 through 4, as they may change.
All in all, great controller! I'd highly recommend it!
