Customer Review: Great gamepad, but it needs some tweaking.
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought the combo PS2/PC version of this on Ebay for $25. I did not install any of the bundled Drivers or Button Profile Software, all I did was put the batteries in it, plug the Wireless Receiver into Player 1 slot on my SuperJoy PS2 to USB adapter I bought from Liksang and I was ready to go. I loaded up Joy2Key (a homebrew freeware Button Mapping app which is simpler and takes up less processing power than the one's bundled with most PC gamepads) and right away I was playing Emulators on the TV (via my Svideo and Audio out cables) from the comfort of my couch.

The controller is huge, almost as big as the Xbox "Duke" stock controller, which is good for me because I have large hands. It has nice features such as Turbofire and Macro, and for once they put Start and Select in a place where I can reach them without banging my thumbs on the analogue sticks like what always happened to me with stock PS2 pads. I'm happy I got this controller, but if I could change anything about it, I'd change the "Rolling Rocker" D-Pad into a standard Cross style seen on most Madcatz pads, and I would make the L1 L2, R1 R2 buttons bigger as they are a bit small and don't have much pressing depth to them. Circle, Square, Triangle and X could also stand to be wider in circumference.
