Customer Review: Never liked that "fan your hands" idea.
Summary: 3 Stars
Wireless I guess has some reason to exist, and Turbo was always nice, but I never jumped on the "fan your hands" bandwagon. It just seemed like a dumb idea, gadgetizing the controller way too much. Though I do like the design of this pad. Very nice "cross" d-pad unlike the stock "4 slivers of hard plastic" the standard PS1&2 pads give you. Its got rubber grips, so it probably has more ruggedness than the common flimsy PC gamepad. But if you really want console ruggedness on your PC, just go get an adapter from Lik-Sang and Joy2Key software, then you can use any PS1 or 2 pad you've got lying in your closet as a PC device and you'll have the ability to map it to keyboard and mouse.Customer Review: good controller, but could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
pro's: good grip and feel, lots of buttons, dual analog, best directional pad on a pc game controller ive seen and works well with fighting games but not as good as a ps2 or super nintendo directional pad, the fan does prevent sweaty handscon's: i bought 2 of these controllers and 1 of the fans would not work after some use and i ended up having to take it apart and pieces of the fan fell out, at random moments your controller will think the analog stick is being pressed left when it is not
overall it is sadly the best controller available for pc's
Customer Review: Compatibility issues
Summary: 3 Stars
This controller is not fully compatible with vista 64 bit. Also the buttons are numbered different from the logitech controller that I have so I have to change them in the game if I want to use the controller (ie when I push the jump button on this controller it makes the game attack instead).Customer Review: paper weight?
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this controller so that I could play all my favorite games with a step back and a better handle on controls like when I play on my PS2. I remembered "back in the day" a friend of mine used to own a game controller that you could map the buttons as you liked. i.e. if you currently use E D S F to move up down left right in you games on your keyboard then you would map the d-pad on the controller input the same keystoke on whatever button you chose. Therefore it worked with any game!When I got my Nyko game pad I was expecting something of the same. BUT IT ONLY WORKS WITH GAMES made for use with game controllers or joysticks. I wanted to use this controller on games like Deus Ex 2, Call of Duty, Unreal 2004 demo, Max Payne 2, Vice City, etc. and it didn't work for a single one. The closest that I got was in Deus Ex 2. I was able to map all the controls because the game acutually recognized all the inputs from the pad. When I played it I got no reaction from the right analog stick. I had mapped this stick to be for looking around in the game. when I started my game the character slowly started look down until he could no longer do so and it was stuck there because the game wouldn't respond to the right analog stick. I got similar resutls with Unreal 2004 but the game didn't even let me map the analog sticks. What a crock! I was so dissapointed. Most of the games just didn't recognize the analog sticks, and that is probably the worst part about an otherwise great controller. It was comfortable, had a 10 ft cable, and all the buttons a PS2 does (including the button of pressing the analog sticks into the pad). The airflo idea was nice, but I never really had the problem of too sweaty hands. Besides if you grip the controller into your palms you cover up the holes for airflo.
I wished it worked like I wanted. I hope I can return it.
(probably not)
Customer Review: Solid and easy to set up however...

No diagonal on the direction pad or the sticks. That's a big problem.
