Customer Review: Shooting button get stuck
Summary: 1 Stars
After having my gamepad one year, my shooting button got stuck. So I can't play anymore with it. I even tried to lubricate it, but does not work.Playing with the gamepad did not hurt my hand, but it could be more confortable.
Durability is a problem!
Description of Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad Pro (USB)
SideWinder Game Pad Pro is the next level of control for sports, action and racing games. Program your best moves to the joystick buttons, the hat switch, the trigger, the throttle wheel, handle rotation, and axis movements. For twice the functionality, use the shift button (in supported games). Optimize Precision Pro for your gaming style by programming keystrokes, keystrings, and chords to single joystick buttons. Save winning profiles to use again and share with friends. Tighten your controls by making large stick movements equal to smaller ones to fit the game you're playing. Make the most of every move by choosing whether to use the handle to rotate or move left to right in your games. USB connection means instant plug and play setup.Anyone looking to bring a little console feel to their PC should check out the Microsoft SideWinder Gamepad Pro. This sturdily constructed silver boomerang of a gamepad can endure many hours of healthy abuse and still supply quick and responsive controls.
One of the great things about the SideWinder series has always been the ergonomics of the joysticks, and the SideWinder Gamepad is no exception. The grip is comfortable, and the buttons and directional pad are all within thumb's reach. The USB interface makes setting up the gamepad a snap, and the SideWinder configuration software lets you set up your gamepad to operate differently for each game installed on your system with the SideWinder game profiles.
The SideWinder Gamepad Pro also includes a shift button, which allows you to program twice the amount of functions per button. About the only thing we didn't like about it was its D-pad design. It felt a little too mushy, and had a lack of tactility to it. It also had a tendency to wiggle around, causing our fingers to slip a bit. Other than that, we thought the SideWinder Gamepad was a winner, and a must-have for serious or casual gamers everywhere. --Dan Simpson
Pros:
- Sturdy design

The Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad Pro is a video game pad controller with digital control for sports and fighting games that require the fastest response. Proportional control is perfect for racing games and advanced, next-generation sports games. It has been ergonomically designed to feel comfortable for hands of all sizes even after hours of play. Its features include six action buttons, an eight-way cross-key pad, and two trigger buttons for games running on Windows-based or MS-DOS-based games that run within Windows.
Included SideWinder software enables players to map complicated multibutton combo moves or keyboard strokes to a single button on the pad. The Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad Pro also allows players to daisy-chain, connecting up to four SideWinder game pads at the same time for multiplayer applications while maintaining full functionality in each pad.
