Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Macally iShock II USB Force Feedback Programmable Game Controller
Customer Review: AWSOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got this Gamepad, which by the way is the ishock ii. It is great! Works with 10.2 after downloading drivers from the macally website. Fully programable. A heavyweight gamepad with plenty of buttons, and very comfortable for an adult's hand. You can even program it to be a mouse, but the controls are hard in "mouse mode." If you need a gamepad for the MAC, I definitely would suggest this one.
Customer Review: 10.2 Compatible
Summary: 5 Stars
This seems to be the only gamepad out there with Mac 10.2 software for customizing buttons, at least in this price range. Believe me I've researched everything I can find from Logitech to Gravis.Customer Review: iShock and Pangea's Bugdom 2 in Mac OS X
Summary: 4 Stars
I have continued to tweak the custom settings control for the iShock Game Controller and I have been able to get it to do everything I want it to do. Even make the Directional Control Pad as responsive as I want it to be. I have been able make the force feed back work as well.
The OS X iShock II Manager is not as intuitive as I'd like it to be but it works after you learn it.
After learning some more I can say I can indeed recommend this game controller for Pangea's games for Mac OS X like Bugdom 2, & Ottomatic etc...
Customer Review: Nice controller but compatibility issues
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two of these, actually, for two different Macs in an attempt to run Zuma with them. They're really nice controllers, they feel great and there are quite a few buttons for different functions. Yet finding configurable drivers for them was a pain. We tried GamePad Companion but it made the device jerky and uncontrollable, especially when shooting.
It's too bad someone can't make one that is easy to configure for the Mac users who actually enjoy gaming.
Customer Review: It does work on Intel Macs
Summary: 3 Stars
To all those who say it does not work on Intel Macs. Please note that Macally has simply stopped development of their proprietary driver. However, the controller does work with OS X's built in support for HID input devices. Applications that support HID through OS X will work with the iShock II. One feature of the controller that will not work because it requires the Macally driver is the rumble feature. The Macally driver also provided the ability to map the controller buttons to other applications that do not support OS X's HID interface. This feature can be replicated using third party utilities such as USB Overdrive
