Summary: like every other gamepad I had for the pc, a piece of junk
Review:
This pad fall in the catagorey of all the games pads for the pc that I have tried. CRAP!!!! It broke after a week of play. The software that came with it was good, but all the software in the world can't make up. I threw it into the street in frustration. Why can't they make a durable game pad for pc's? They have them for console systems.

Summary: Several things wrong
Review: 1) Stiff, clicky, small, inset buttons. Nothing like a PS2/PSX pad's nice buttons.2) Badly placed throttle. The shoulder buttons (which are the clickiest of them all) are big, but if you're like me your pointer fingers tend to travel up while using the shoulder buttons. And that makes for a badly placed throttle above the right shoulder button. 3) Sticks will eventually break off. I got a free replacement LWMRP, but I'm afraid to use it because I know that one will break as well. I suggested to them that they use sturdy metal sticks if they're going to insist on the skinny necks of the sticks, but they haven't modified it yet. 4) Stiff D-Pad/POV pad. And it's hard to navigate with it as well since you can't feel the direction without looking down to see if you're pressing it right. 5) Inset Mode and Rumble buttons hard to press in sometimes. Two great things? The handles and rumble feature. Very comfortable grips and very solid rumble features.

Summary: No Comparison to MS Sidewinder
Review: After reading the reviews listed here, I decided to go with the Logitech WingMan Rumble Pad over another Microsoft Sidewinder device (my previous Sidewinder Pro broke after a year's not-so frequent use). In comparing the two, I'd have to say that, aestetics aside, the WingMan beats the Sidewinder hands down. The analog sticks are great with games like NHL 2002 - directional movement is excellent with the WingMan, while I had some issues with the angled and often inaccurate direction controls of the Sidewinder. The WingMan is a bit sleaker than the Sidewinder, which is good if you don't have gargantuan hands (my hands would get tired after playing a few games on the Sidewinder, due to its girth). My only two criticisms of the WingMan are somewhat minor: 1) the six buttons on the right side of the controller don't seem as natural as those on the Sidewinder, but that could be because I've only been using the WingMan for a week and a half now; and 2) when will the rumble aspect of the pad ever be utilized??? Are there any PC games out there with this feature? Overall, well worth the money.

Summary: Solid controller, but...
Review: After two years of use, both the plastic sticks have broken completely off. Now heck, the rest of the controller works great, except for the right trigger becoming unresponsive at times, but those crappy plastic sticks are what's holding back an otherwise quality product. Numerous attempts to contact Logitech failed, and when I finally did get somebody I was informed I couldn't buy replacement sticks, I'd have to buy a new controller. I'm now buying a Dual Shock 2 and a PSX to USB adapter. Forget this.

Summary: calibration problems
Review: As one of the other reviewers mentioned, there seems to be a calibration problem with the left joystick, at least in the batch that Amazon is selling (and Logitech doesn't make this model anymore, so you can't get a fresh one). I've tried two of them and in both cases, the left joystick won't stay centered.

Summary: Great Pad
Review: Before buying this pad, I looked at every other single one that was being sold on amazon first. There were others that looked better but I didnt want to spend 40 bucks on just a pad. This one looked good, only 27 bucks. I was expecting it to be a fairly good one, because the price was lower than others like it, but I was amazed! The pad is great, it has 2 analog sticks, a regular directional pad and 9 buttons and a slider. The gamepad works great with EA games, try getting NHL 2001 to go along with it. I even got two pads so I could play with my friends. It also has two modes, you can switch it so that the analog sticks work as a directional pad, helpful for games like Frogger where you only need to go in 4 directions. The controller also works well with Playstation games released on the computer, for example Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. (I am running a Dell 1.8 ghz computer with Windows ME and I havn't encountered any problems. It comes with its own calibration software.)

Summary: Really a great gamepad
Review: Despite the few bad reviews this gamepad got, it's still a REALLY great gamepad. The unpesponsiveness experienced by that other guy was also experienced by me, but I realised it was becasue of my USB modem, since all USB devices share the limited bandwidth of the USB line. But when I'm not on the net it responds immediatelly. The Rumble feature really adds a whole new dimension to a game, Need for Speed will never be the same for me. If you're looking for a great gamepad, get this one. It's comfortable, response and it rumbles!!! (yay!)

Summary: Good, but Not Great
Review: Go to an electronics store and feel this in your hands - it's the best review you could ask for. Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to like this controller, there is a negative for every positive. I mean that quite literally - for every good feature, that feature also has something wrong with it. I noticed all this after only 1 day with it: Layout - the positive is that the Rumblepad is nearly identical to the Playstation's Dualshock controller. There are 7 buttons, 2 triggers, 2 analog sticks, a d-pad, a shift button, and even a throttle slide! For many games, you will not need to use the keyboard when you've got this gamepad. However, the Rumblepad is different enough from the Dualshock that if you are trying to play Playstation games on your PC (Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, bleem!, etc) you will have some relearning to do. You might want to wait until Sony starts making USB Dualshock controllers. (which should be in 6 months) Feel - this gamepad is nice and big, and doesn't cramp my large (adult male) hands at all. However, the buttons are terrible! They are tiny, hard to press, harder to reach, and even harder to figure out which one you want without looking at the pad. I can't simply rest my thumb naturally on the buttons, but have to bend it akwardly and press the buttons with the very tip of my thumb. This is a design flaw of the pad, not because of my particular build, which is quite average. Analog Sticks - these are both very responsive, and perfectly positioned. The negative is that they don't have a good gripping surface or shape, so your thumbs don't stay centered on them. Because the sticks are curved inwards, (console sticks on all major systems are curved outwards) I often find I am controlling the stick by its very edge, which is uncomfortable and very inaccurate. As if by the Hand of God, you usually won't need to repositon your thumb until you reach a particular important part of your game! USB - this speaks for itself. USB is great, if you don't know yet. You can unplug the pad and move it off your desk easily. However, this gamepad requires a -powered- USB hub. You can't plug this into your keyboard USB ports. Great if you already own a powered hub, but if you don't that means you either spend another $ on one, or you plug it into the back of your computer case (thus defeating the ease of USB) (as of Oct 2000, the Rumblepad doesn't work well with Windows ME. I downloaded the latest update from Logitech, but my computer locks up whenever I plug the gamepad in. I have to have my computer off to plug it in. However, this might be caused by the power requirements of the Rumblepad, not the software.)
