Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this controller yesterday and works very well. Been using it for 7 hrs staright and no disconnection which is way better than their previous product the dual action gamepad. It shape like a PS2 but the buttons are labled like Xbox 360 controller as well the comp reads it as xbox 360 controller. install takes about 3 minutes.

This gamepad is excellent. It is the best controller I know of at the moment for retro gaming. I am running Vista and it installed without any problems. The profiler software is great. With the switch on the back of the controller set to "D" you can map all the controls to keyboard keys. This means you can play old adventure games like Ultima IV almost entirely without using the keyboard. The switch on the back must be set to "D" to use the profiler software. Also pressing the mode button on the top will swap the D pad and left analog stick. The xbox controller does feel more sturdy but the Logitech feels fine. I don't get the impression the buttons or sticks will fail soon. For regular gaming I would prefer the xbox 360's D pad placement. The D pad does seem a bit flimsy. This controller has a lot of configuration options, its constructed well and works fine. As far as I know it is the choice for retro gaming.

Works for all my Emulators, NES, SNES, Sega Genisis, N64, and Nintendo DS. I used it with Windows XP Professional SP3, needed to install the software, and configured the controlls in my emulators, and works 100%. I used it with Windows 7 Ultimate, didn't need to install the software for the controller, and configured the controlls in my emulators, and works 100%. There is absolutly nothing wrong with this controller. Doesn't need Batteries, has a decent cord length, and works flawlessly. Thank You BestBuy, well worth $26.99, after tax. I did a video tutorial on YouTube using this controller, can play all the games I want now, Thank You So much. Don't go to GameStop, Don't Go to EBGames, they SUCK. BestBuy Pwnes RadioShack and GameStop / EBGames. Don't get a wireless controller, unless your willing to spend about 40 to 50 bucks on rechargable battereies, this controller is the best,. My old controller even works with a Mac OS X, and Emulators.

More and more PC games are supporting the 360 Controller for WIndows. Logitech took advantage of this and made a controller with the button layout of the 360 Controller, and the shape of a PS3 controller. It is excellent. It read as a 360 controller when I initially plugged it in. Worked fine for my games. No more mapping keys, like with my old RumblePad. No, since most of my games support the 360 controller, everything just works. Excellent product. It even has a kool little switch on the underside that changes it's layout from the 360 Controller to the "Logitech Dual Action", which is helpful in many situations.

This was the perfect gamepad when I upgraded my PC. Smooth controls, dual triggers, dual sticks and really good software. Great for racing & sports games and for FPS games. Inexpensive and comfortable so it;s a good gamepad for those getting started

The controller itself has a great design. Installing it and getting it to work on my computer was a breeze. I play some sports games on my computer and the controller has taken the burden of having to use the keyboard away. The top 4 buttons, also known as the triggers, however, seem a bit flimsy. Not terrible, but they seem like they would be the first to break over time. Other than that, it works perfectly! So far, no problems at all and I highly reccomend this product!! Cheers!

I play all sorts of games like Sonic Mega Collection Plus, Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast, Lego Star Wars 2 , Lego Indiana Jones, and I can flip the switch to accommodate any game if one mode does not work. Installing the Gamepad was easy. This controller is essentially two products in one. An XBOX 360 Controller, and a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad. Flipping the switch toggles these modes. It also works great with classic game emulators and it was easy to configure. Really do reccomend this for people with Netbooks, its like having a portable game station in your bag with a 10 inch screen.

There aren't a whole lot of options for computer game pads, if you're trying to avoid the Microsoft brand. This is worth the money provided you can catch it on sale. There isn't very much finger room under the controller which gets annoying in a longer gaming session but the controller itself feels solid enough to throw against the wall a few times in fits of rage when you need to blame your sub-par gaming skills on your internet connection or out-of-date video card.

the controler is great for what i use it for online fighting games/ racing games it fits my hands well i do love these controller but iv gone through about 5 or so and now im ordering another one they last about 3 months then start to fall apart if u can keep your controller from not falling on the ground and not wrapping the wire around the controller when not in use then its fine the wiring falls out to easly after sometime and if they do drop the wrong way u may lose some bounce in ur button pop ups but other then that its plug and play good for the price range i guess

I have gone through about 8 of these controllers over a period of about 3 years. They are great, but they break REALLY easily. The wire comes out, frays, and disconnects inside the housing very often. I'm disappointed because I love logitech. However, if you spend the extra money on the protection plan, then you can bring it back in for a brand new one. To avoid these things I recommend buying the logitech WIRELESS controller. There are a few people that don't like it, but it breaks in about a year to two years off everyday play versus the three months with this wired controller.

This is a great controller, works with any game, has analog and easy to use. However the biggest problem is that the cord is cheap, thus it dies out quick, after 2-3 months at most. Its not worth the price at all, price should be 9.99. Buy a xbox 360 controller instead, but buy this at a cheaper price for a secondary pad.

I bought this controller mostly for game console emulators (nes, snes, playstation, etc..) and it really works great. I used to use my old Microsoft Sidewinder controller but this one is 10 times better. One problem I had with the Sidewinder was that in a lot of games that require you to duck to avoid something, you had to press exactly down on the d-pad. If you weren't perfect about it then you'd get up and get hit by whatever it was you were trying to avoid. This controller doesn't have this problem at all. So now a lot of games that were practically unplayable with the Sidewinder work great with the Logitech controller. Another thing that's great is that you can use the analog stick instead of the d-pad if you want. For some reason you have to press the 'mode' button to switch between the d-pad and analog stick though, but it's not a big deal. I took one star off the 'Ease of Use' category because if you have Windows XP the driver that comes with the controller doesn't seem to work. It doesn't detect the controller. It turns out you need to install the drivers for a Microsoft XBox controller. The reason is that this Logitech controller and XBox controllers both use something called XInput. Here's the link for the driver you need if you have Windows XP: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming Also, the switch on the back of the controller needs to be set to 'X'.

Works well with the PC and it is set up like a playstation controller so it is a familiar button set up.

I bought this controller so my 4 year old son can play some of the more complicated games and not wreck his keyboard out of frustration. The Gaming Profiler that comes with this gamepad can be really easy to set up. For those that are a bit confused by it, the Gaming Profiler just makes it so instead of pressing your keybinds, you press your gamepad buttons. I tried it out for Diablo 3. It took a little bit of work to get it going in D3, because it seemed like the controller was being recognized as a keyboard and mouse. Had to go into my Keybinding to set it up rather than the Gaming Profiler. The Analog sticks and Trigger Buttons seemed to be a bit stiff compared to an actual PS2 controller, but I imagine that it does take time to get use to it. The housing for this gamepad does feel a bit cheap, so I imagine it's not that durable... BUT I do know I had a different controller model about 5 years ago that seemed to be the same way and lasted a couple of years. I'm hoping this controller has the same outcome, but we'll see. Also I was not able to get an extended warranty on this product when I bought it in stores. So if you can get one online, I highly recommend it....just in case.

I use this for playing games on my tablet through the connected USB port on the keyboard dock. The controls are easily customizable and very accurate.

I've only had this controller for about 3 months and the wire housing against the controller split and exposed wires when coiling the USB wire around the device after each use. This is a durability fail. After about 2 months of use, I noticed calluses forming on my middle finger knuckles. The shape of the controller is a problem for rubbing skin. Otherwise this controller worked great. I however would NOT recommend it to a friend because for $40 ... I would expect a lot more from logitech.

I can think of absolutely no drawbacks to purchasing this controller. The gamepad utilizes the comfortable and easily recognizable layout of the playstation controller, and delivers all the quality and response that one can expect from a long-standing leader in electronic technology like Logitech. From the simple plug and play set up to the quick response of the controls, this is the perfect gamepad for just about any game you can think of. Add to this the extreme affordability of this product and you get something that is almost impossible to find these days; an amazing deal that gives you MORE value than the price. I would strongly recommend this game controller for gamers of every level. The only thing I have ever had anyone complain negatively about is that it has a USB interface instead of wireless, but honestly it has quicker response than any wireless PC controller with none of the buggy issues. This makes it a plus.

Worked perfectly out of the box! I am a PS3 user so this was a perfect fit for me since the layout is basically the same. Having the cord is not a problem at all since it is very long.

Great controller I hve windows 7 64 bit and use it to play ffxi Great great great

Don't ask me why but it mimics the xbox 360 controller on the pc. I was downloading some drivers so i could my xbox 360 controller on my pc but it didnt work.
