Summary: Awesome Gamepad
Review: Agreed that this is a much better gamepad than the corded wingman. Because it is cordless I can play it laying down instead of being "tied" to the computer.I recommend this game for ALL racing games, FSP, and all the Tony Hawk games, and wrestling games. Configuring the keyboard for those games is pointless because of all the functions. Don't forget the rumble mode!

Summary: Was looking for something like a PS2 controller--found it.
Review: From a choice of about 15 gamepads I chose this one. It felt similar to the PS2 controller and had some weight to it (even before the batteries were installed). Installation was easy; installed software on a PC with 2000 for an operating system. I really enjoy the freedom of not having to worry about a cord. The inputs were received fine, but for the most part I was only a couple of feet from the receiver. However, at times I had the gamepad in my lap aiming down and even with the reciver above it it it worked fine...felt as if it must be connected via a cord. Good force feed back, too. Nice and solid and does the job for me. Hope you're pleased with it if you decide to buy.

Summary: Pretty cool!!!
Review: Hardware - This thing rocks. It fits in my hands well, and the sticks move easily. Diagonal movement is kind of wierd right now, but I'll get used to it. Software - I loaded the latest drivers and they need work. Controller configuration is not the easiest, and I get a blue screen about half the time I open logitech's wingman configuration program. Fortunately, I don't have to reboot when this happens.

Summary: Average Overall
Review: I am a long time XP user that just recently got into gaming because of my new PC. I got this controller because I was tired of the old mouse and keyboard action. To my dismay, all most all of the games that I got do not allow the use of the game pad. The games even ignore the custom set-up profiler. And I have found NONE of my games support the rumblepad function. Overall feel is great and the cordless ness is the best. Responsiveness is also top-notch. If more games support this controller and it's rumblepad it would be great buy, but right now I would only recommend this controller if it were on sale or if wireless ness was a requirement.

Summary: No calibration settings with Logitech software
Review: I first bought this to play GTA3 and after installing found that the right stick does not calibrate properly (i'm running windows XP), when I try to use this in that game the person starts to spin around until you nudge the stick slightly towards the middle before it ceases this undesirable activity.
In Windows the joystick calibration portion of the device driver allows you to calibrate based on extremes of movement to pick the mid point and the extreme ends of movement in any direction, after installing the Logitech software for mapping keys and functions to buttons I found that they have absolutely no way of changing your calibration. I supposed they thought their product is always going to be perfectly calibrated and will never have a problem.. Anyhow, at the time I figured it could have been a problem with the hardware so I took it back and exchanged it for another one. Same thing happened with the new one. I called Logitech up and they wanted me to send it back and replace it with one of theirs they had.. Figuring a replacement would still do the same thing guessing the RMA process would waste good 2 weeks of my time. I uninstalled the Logitech software and fought with the calibration built into Windows and finally tricked it into finding the proper center of the stick. The problem with doing this is you dont get full functionality from all the buttons in certain games where you cant map functions to specific buttons in game. I am fairly well versed in Windows so I couldnt imagine anyone doing this who's looking for a non nonsense install and setup, I found myself wanting to bash it with a hammer and chucking it out the window. Though I kind of got it to work, many games will not detect a remapping of the two sticks and your either stuck with their default use mappings or you cant use them at all. Logitech makes decent hardware, but they seem to allways fall short when it comes to drivers and software, I own their Z-560 sound system and a number of versions of their cordless keyboards and mice and find that the default Windows drivers run far better than what they have to offer without irritating programs running in the systray and consuming memory and wasting time with loading useless garbageware every time you boot. Battery life on this stick is pretty good, after buying it and using it for about a month its sat on my desk for almost a year without use and still powered on when i tried it. To my dismay a couple months later when it did stop working I noticed that a couple of the batteries went south and started to leak inside. No damage was done to the unit so I put a new set of batteries in and it started working again, lucky for me because I'd hate to have a paperweight that leaks battery acid. Seriously consider getting another game pad, or buy it from a place that would give you no problems returning it if you decide that you dont like it.

Summary: Good for racing games and emulators, but bad for FPS
Review: I got this after my MS rumblepad (stopped working) on me. The best aspect of this control is the wireless apect as I use it with my CPU and TV for gaming. The ballance and the weight of this conrtoler are one good aspect of it. I have always hated light controlers. This one is a little heavier than most as it needs batteries and the wireless interface. The runble feature is also good, if you can find a game that it works on.
The accuracy of the control is great for games such as GTA3 (in car), Carmageddon or Midtown Madness. I found this controler to be the best PC controler for racing games I have ever used. The software, and most games, offer ways to fine tune the feedback. The control is also fair in games such as FF7 and FF8 where the control are setup in "classic" mode. This conrtol does well on any game that has been designed with controler, not the keyboard, in mind. If you like playing emulator console games, you cannot do better than this control. It works well with Nesicle and Jnes as well as Bleem!, ZSNES, and N64 emulators. Again any game that is built around a controler. An unfortunate aspect of this control is the lack of control you have in a first person shooter enviroment. Many games such as Medtal of Honor: Allied Assult or Return to Castle Wolfenstein have no configuration files. You have to manually configure the control in the software, which is really tedious. Even when you get it set how you would like you guy just doesn't behave corectly in the games. Also stay away from this control if you are thinking of using it for a RPG such as Morrowwind. The worse design feature of this control is the battery connections are poor. If you manage to drop it (or thorugh it against you case in a fit of frustration) the battery contacts can become damaged. This leads it to going dead in the middle of games w/o you're knowledge (well until you die :(.) What this conrtol needs is better battery connections and a more usable software interface.

Summary: OK, but not great
Review: I got this game pad because of it's wireless features and the number of buttons\controls. Overall it's not too bad. I love the wireless aspect of it, and the button layout and overall feel was very nice. Sadly, it lacks accuracy for both the digital pad and analog sticks. It takes a great deal of effort to hit the horizontal and vertical points dead on. So when you want to go left, you go left and up. Very annoying.

Summary: I love my wingman!
Review: I love this thing. It plays better than any corded pad I own.
Pros:
Dual analog, rumble capabilities, and a digital pad.
Triggers. Four of them. Excellent range and it's as responsive as a corded pad.
Cons:
Batteries. You need four of them (AA) I work around that by using rechargebles.
It's heavy.
Before trashing this thing due to compatability problems, go to logitec's website and get the newer drivers. They fixed any problems I had with my wingman.
