Summary: Decent, but wouldn't recommend it
Review: My beef with this controller is that the calibration is continuously getting out of whack on the left joystick. The company has no fix for it, and it is not game specific. This can be temporarily fixed by resetting the calibration, but it's still a pain in the rear end.

Summary: Piece of junk
Review: Nice when it worked, but it quickly developed a problem where the left stick stops working correctly. Logitec tech support is worthless.

Summary: Very unimpressive controller
Review: Overall, I rate the Logitech Wingman Rumble Pad as a very poor controller. My largest complaint is that the buttons are stiff, with very poor feel. Also, the analog joystick doesn't seem to go naturally in the direction you are attempting to go, which is very aggravating. The controller has a nice, solid feel to it, but overall it is very disappointing to use.

Summary: Okay for flying games, stinks for anything else
Review: The layout of the pad is nice...two joysticks, directional pad, and lots of buttons, all within reach. Throw into that the rumblepad and its pretty nice. However, when actually using this pad, I've found it pretty difficult going.The direction pad is almost impossible to use because the buttons are quite hard to push and hold down, and likewise the buttons are quite difficult to use. Overall, I find the pad to be very uncomfortable. Logitech had a good idea with planning this pad, they just should have tried actually using it too.

Summary: A fantastic gamepad with lots of features and a low pricetag
Review: The Rumblepad really brought out the fun in my driving & sports games. Need for Speed - Porsche Unleashed got even better with it. It's got a built-in finger throttle that makes controlling your speed easy, and the added sensation of feeling the road and the car's acceleration in my hands made it more exciting. The force feedback is remarkably strong for a gamepad, stronger than most, and can really surprise you at times. It really shines in Star Wars Pod Racer, where the rumble of the rockets and your scrapes along the ground are translated into different sensations. Mostly a gamepad sees use in sports games, and in FIFA Soccer 2001 I had no trouble moving the ball around & scoring. If you've played games on a Sony Playstation or are giving it to someone who has, the many buttons and controls are completely familiar (with the possible exception of the throttle). Unlike some here, I've had no problems at all installing the drivers & hardware on computers using either Win98, Me, or XP Pro.

Summary: Enter the Thumb-killer Extreme
Review: This control pad has tiny widdle buttons that are for tiny widdle fingers. If you have large hands, don't buy this junk, go for the cordless version. The buttons wear out fast. My buton 1 is already starting to make snapping sounds. It is for kids, not adults or teens. The unit itself is big, but the buttons are tiny. I now have carpel tunnel of the right thumb(aka stiffness and soreness) because of this stinker. I played Big Mutha Truckers and blew the horn, brakes, and gearshift toggle enough to break the buttons and my thumb. I will probably go for Belkin's controller instead now.(of course six months rest is in order 1st + a Dr. visit.)

Summary: Had two RumblePads, neither of them worked.
Review: This is a problem with Logitech controllers that I've seen posted on other web sites. I'm running Windows 2000. My trouble was the same on both of the RumblePad controllers that I owned (I exchanged the first one for another one): the analog controls (dual sticks and throttle) worked fine, while the digital controls (directional pad and buttons) all registered only after being depressed for about half a second. Obviously, this is entirely unacceptable, and although I quite like my Logitech cordless mouse, I won't be buying any more of their game controllers. I'll stick with my Gravis Pad. It works.
