Customer Review: Overall great gamepad
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always had good luck with Logitech gamepads. Having used the excellent wingman extreme for awhile, I wanted a controler with analog controls. The wingman rumble pad had what I was looking for, along with an excellent rumble feature. Used over a variety of games from flight sims, racers, and first person shooters I can say this gamepad will send my previous favorite wingman extreme to the closet.I have large hands, and the controller fits perfectly. I had no trouble getting used to the control layout, the joysticks are well placed and are easy to use for long periods. The analog sticks have a diffrent feel from the ps dualshock controlers, but it didn't take long for me to adjust. The digital joypad is easy to use as well, and in some games where you can swich between the two either feels equally comfortable.
The one problem I had was the feel of the buttons. Compared to the Wingman extreme, the trigger buttons feel stiff (almost like mouse buttons). The buttons on the front of the controler have very little tactile feedback. When you press them you know you pressed them, but if they were raised a little higher maybe they would "feel" better. The throttle slide control is a great feature for flight sims, but it slides so easy you need to pay attention to how far you move it. Not distracting, but this keeps the gamepad from being perfect.
Compared to console game controllers this gamepad pales to the N64 layout, and tries hard to mimic the playstation.
