Summary: Sidewinder USB
Review: The add shows a controller with 4 buttons, the D button and two triggers. The description says it has 6 buttons, the D button and two triggers. I ordered the Sidewinder USB and got 4 buttons which is not enough for Madden football. Someone has their wires crossed here. Be sure you know what you are getting!

Review: There are only four buttons and two triggers. That is NOT enough for any game! I recommend the Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad USB. It has the same Plug and Play capabilities, but with 4 more buttons. I think it is a little more expensive, but trust me it is worth it.

Summary: Where are the improvements?
Review: This controller is worse than the MS Sidewinder I bought around '96. The only decent thing about it is that it uses the USB port. Much too basic for many of the games that are out there today. Probably would be good for Ms.Pac-Man or Pong. Thumbs down!!!

Summary: Works fine for us
Review: This game pad has workd great since the day we got it. I bought it for my teens for Christmas, and they are perfectly happy with it. Of course, they don't have the new Sega or Play Station, so no, they're not really big gamers. But they know a game pad when they use one. This one is just fine for the games they play on the computer. After reading the other reviews on this, I was very skeptical about buying it, but went ahead because it seemed like just what we needed. And I was right. I don't know what the other people were expecting, but this isn't a bad product as far as I can tell.

Summary: Mostly Excellent
Review: This is one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever held, its price is great, and it even works in MacOS 8.6 just by plugging in! Unfortunately, its direction pad is asymetric; its left side is not as good at rolling motions, which are important for fighting games, as the right side. For all other games this controller is fine, provided they only need six buttons.

Summary: Doh! - Not enough buttons !!
Review: This is potentially an excellent pad, but Microsoft have shot themselves in the foot here, because there are only 4 buttons. Why on earth they on put four buttons on such an otherwise excellent product is beyond me. The USB installation is a breeze and the D-pad is much better than the one on the Pro pad or even the original Sidewinder pad. Of course the price is unbeatable too. So - why, why, WHY did they only put 4 buttons?! I can't think of any modern games that need less than 6 at the absolute minimum. Such a shame ...

Review: What's not to like? This is a lightweight fully functional 6-button USB pad for your PC and it works FLAWLESSLY! It truly is plug-and-play, no installing drivers and minimal configuration is needed. Simply plug the pad in, Windows loads the necessary drivers, go to the the gaming options under your control panel, set the controller ID to 1, and test! The pad is made of durable plastic and all the buttons, including the D-pad have a nice, satisfying tactile click each time you press them. The D-pad is similar to the one on the XBOX standard controllers which is good news. No analog or rumble features are included, and guess what? YOU WON'T MISS THEM! This is the PERFECT controller to use for your emulation gaming needs! MAME, SNESX, MAGIC ENGINE, etc all work FLAWLESSLY with this controller. The games play perfectly and there are no issues or lag times associated with any moves. The setup matches the SNES pad perfectly, even down to the two triggers on the back. NEO GEO games are dead on as well. So, don't listen to the whiners who claim they need 20 buttons/rumble/and analog on their gamepads. For emulation and general PC gaming, you can do better feature and price-wise than with the MS Sidewinder pad! BUY IT TODAY!!!!
