Customer Review: P3000 Wireless - Good deal for the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the P3000 from Saitek last weekend and have enjoyed using it. It was real easy to hook it up and I am enjoying the gaming freedom of playing without an additional wire hanging around.It has a good feel to it with grips on the handles and a sturdy sense for the buttons (six of them) and joysticks (2 analog with that also act as buttons).
Saitek also includes software that lets you program in various commands for the buttons which is an added bonus.
This is the second Saitek product I own - the Cyborg Evo is also a great product.
Customer Review: Great feel, one prob
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the feel of this gamepad...after trying several others this is the best. The wireless works ok, i was 20 feet away and it was working.The batteries are what needs improving according to many posts. I thought i had a dead battery but it ended up being a bad connection inside. With a small screwdriver pushed up through the bottom can take apart the battery case. on the positive side of each battery there are two small pieces of plastic. you just need to push these down so the battery has a better chance of connectiing. i also found new batteris at interstate battery store, 1 dollar each. The analog sticks could be a little tighter, but i like the d pad. wireless is great!Customer Review: Awesome Gamepad
Summary: 4 Stars
Good feel to it and very light. Rubber handles are a nice touch. Highly recommended gamepad. 1 small quibble, the CD with the drivers on it came warped so I downloaded them from the saitek website, it the only thing that kept the P3000 from earning 5 stars from me.Customer Review: The batteries WILL break. Here is the solution
Summary: 3 Stars
Saitek made an interesting battery operated wireless game pad. I like how one charges while the other one is being used so that you always have power. The problem is that the batteries can get loose inside the battery holder or that they have a problem with being overcharged. If your batteries stop working, you can get a free replacement from saitek but while you are waiting, you should just open the battery holder. Stick a small flat head screw driver into the front part of the battery. (The part that has three metal parts)Stick the screw driver on the upper left and upper right part of the battery. ( Where it curves) Open up the battery. Inside are two smaller batteries that look like short AA batteries. You can go to a dollar store and get 12V alkaline replacements or if you are not lucky, a more expensive store like radio shack. Now you can get back to playing games! If you don't want to go through all this, just don't buy this gamepad.Customer Review: Problem with the analog sticks
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know if this problem is with the product or my computer, but the analog sticks stick from time to time. For no reason at all the left stick will make my character move in one direction or the right stick will cause the camera to spin in circles. I have to disconnect and reconnect it until it stops doing that. It doesn't happen too often, but it is annoying. I had a similar problem with another game pad from a different manufacturer, so it might not be a problem with the product. In general, I like the idea of a docking station, an extra battery pack, and battery meter. The game pad just sits loosely on the docking station so it will fall off if I bump into the desk. In conclusion, it has some good features but there's room for improvement.
