Customer Review: good
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this for BF1942, NFS games. This is a very nice gamepadCustomer Review: PS2 controller on a computer?
Summary: 4 Stars
Logitech is well known for its Mice, Keyboards, speakers, and now game controllers. its Wingman series is pretty good with joysticks and gamepads. while you can play FPS with this controller (dual analog, one stick for movement and the other for view), it really isn't recommended. if you play sports games, then a gamepad is really needed, but for most games, just save money and keep that keyboard and mouse.Egronomics of a gamepad is pretty important, and the Wingman RumblePad is pretty good with this. your middle fingers have a groove that they can rest inside and your index fingers go onto the shoulder buttons (aka triggers). buttons are pretty easy to press, but the analog sticks do not have any rubber grips on them or anything. all there is present is a slight groove. the force feedback feature is pretty accurate. i cannot wait until Halo comes to the computer. then it'll have an authentic "xbox" feeling. (not really cause the analog sticks are positioned like the PS2 controller)
overall, stay with your keyboard and mouse. if you want a gamepad though, this is a pretty good one that you should consider.
Customer Review: Good pad, Shoddy construction
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll get the bad stuff out of the way first:This pad is a very poorly contructed device. Both sticks have come right off several times, the first two buttons have taken to making an annoying clicking sound, and that throttle slider falls off ALL THE TIME. The last time it came off, it was trampled and nearly broken. If it wasn't for Microsoft's idiotic swapping of the left thumbstick and D-pad on the X-Box controller, I'd be using that controller instead (the X-Box controller uses a USB interface).
On the good side, the Wingman Pad is a great staple for the PC gamepad market, setting the standard with its basic features and design. The throttle makes me think Logitech was aiming to compete against joysticks with this pad. It ain't gonna happen. That space isn't large enough for a quality throttle slider, and it poses problems that I've already mentioned. The mode switching is pretty cool (as I use the pad mainly for emulators, I need the D-pad to function as such when playing, say, Super Nintendo, but I use mode switch to use the left stick when playing Nintendo 64).
Customer Review: sturdy and works good, but a little small
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had mine for over a year and it still works(no button failure anyway) but it is too small for my hands. If you have large hands and play Return of the King then you'll be sorry, I promise. I have cramps in my thumb-to-index finger tendons and last night my right arm went numb. Find another controller if using extensively. Works better in flight sims where you don't have to have a click-click dexterity fest to beat your foes.(Hmm Richard Garriot said that!) maybe an automatic rep mode(Like Nintendo did fifteen years ago with thier turbo stick.) My how we have evolved people!(sarcasticlly rolls eyes)
