Logitech WingMan Rumble Pad

Rating:
Summary: Very easy to use
Review: Great gamepad. I needed something with USB for my laptop, and this one is great. Installed on WinXP with no problesm. Has perfect control. Works very well with NFSPU. I also like the size. It isn't as bulky as some of the Game Pads I've used. The throttle control can be a reach for some people, I would like to see it corner mounted, but it doesn't seem to pose a big problem. Well, worth the money.

Summary: Decent controler
Review: Has realistic rumble for most games. But it is not durable. Both joysticks broke off.

Summary: A good choice!
Review: I am using this gamepad with windows 2000 and FIFA 2001 and I did not noticed the problem that the other guy had with this gamepad. So, I think it is a problem with his Win2000.

Summary: Not So Flying
Review: I believe this is not as good as compared to the Sidewinder that Microsoft makes. It is a very clumsy controller. It may look like a dual shock playstation controller but by no means does it perform up to the standards of the playstation controller. I got it for(X)and I sold it already for (X) . I tried the Sidewinder and thought it was a better controller and as the old saying goes, " You get what you Pay for."

Summary: A terrific controller for typical computer gamers.
Review: I bought this controller because I recieved a pack of sports games for my PC as a gift. I found them difficult using only the buttons on the keyboard. When I tried this controller, I was amazed. I then looked up this product right here on Amazon, and found a few reviews from dissapointed customers. They said all the problems they had with it. Well, I believe those problems are from the computer itself, and not this particular controller. I have had nothing but good luck and hours of enjoyable game play with it. Sure, you can go out and buy the most expensive items with the most features, if you want. But, If you are looking for a controller that will fit your needs for all of your computer games, I highly recommend this product. Well done, Logitech.

Summary: Wingman, what a waste of money
Review: I bought this controller thinking it would be top of the line, but after having it for about a week, everything just started to go wrong. The first thing then went bad were the joy sticks, if you goto the game controller properties in the control pannel ou will notice that even though the joy sticks are still, the properties show them moving slightly. I accepted this imperfection but then then one of the buttons just completely died, i called logitech, which by the requires to you to pay long distance charges. I was able to get a replacement for the controller. Also from what i read in logitech press-releases while trying to get my problem fixed it seems like the wingman 2 should be out in the fall, so if you can wait it might be definitly worth your while.

Summary: Good Layout - Shoddy Quality
Review: I got two of these as gift. One controller went bad, and then the other. The problem is that the 6 buttons on the right spring back up after pushing them down partially because they are attached to some medicore plastic chassis inside the controller. Anyone who pushes these buttons repeatedly(I do this for speed bursts and checks in EA NHL games) will ultimately break the button away from the plastic. As a result, the buttons will start to stick. To put it another way, you push down, but the button doesn't come back up. I took one apart and cleaned the buttons out a little, and seems to be functional again, but the responsiveness of the buttons is not what it used to be and it's only a matter of time before the buttons go bad again. And another thing, there's too much space between the buttons and the controller, and it allows grit to get into the controller and affects the buttons, too. I'm probably going to get a gravis next time.

Summary: sturdy and works good, but a little small
Review: I have had mine for over a year and it still works(no button failure anyway) but it is too small for my hands. If you have large hands and play Return of the King then you'll be sorry, I promise. I have cramps in my thumb-to-index finger tendons and last night my right arm went numb. Find another controller if using extensively. Works better in flight sims where you don't have to have a click-click dexterity fest to beat your foes.(Hmm Richard Garriot said that!) maybe an automatic rep mode(Like Nintendo did fifteen years ago with thier turbo stick.) My how we have evolved people!(sarcasticlly rolls eyes)

Summary: Great Pad with a problematic throttle slider
Review: I love these pads. I've been using them for almost two years and have been happy enough with them to not only recommend them to friends, but I give them as gifts to my gaming nephews. The problem is the sliders come off quite easily. While they snap back on just as easy, I have lost at least two while traveling after they came off in my baggage. I wish logitech would offer replacements by the dozen cheapley.
