    I am not a gamer. I was expecting that I would plug in the controller and it wold work, but it would not work with the setting for the game. I do not know if there is a patch that will make this plug and play without a third party app that will need formatting. Not sure if this is a mac issue only...

    I have had several of these controllers over the past few years and found this to be one of my favorites. It has an easy connection to my computer and controls are very smooth. Other controls I have used bugged out from time to time on games, but this one has remained consistent. I highly recommend

    This controller has 2 modes which affect the feel of the anolog sticks, in one the anolog stick is overly loose, but in the other the inputs dont register as easily. Also this controller has an awkward fell to it.

    This is my first pc controller experience, so I can't be sure how it compares to others. Overall it seems to be a good product--I trust in the brand and it seems to do what it's supposed to. My only gripe so far is that the default button settings are off and need to be re-mapped. Plus, I had to look on here to find out why the right joystick wasn't working (you have to turn turbo off). Basically I have to do a lot of googling just to set it up properly, so that's a pain, but once that's done it should be smooth sailing. It's worth the price, at least.

    Ok controller, Mac users beware

    This controller itself is decent enough, although it isn't as refined as Sony or Microsoft's (the sticks in particular feel loose). My biggest complain, though, is that the packaging clearly states that it compatible with Macs, it does not plug-and-play nor does the company actually supply a driver (either in the packaging or online) for it. Instead you will have to find a third party app to set it up to work. In the end I had to pay another $5 to be able to use this on my Mac and I am still trying to figure out the best configuration for it. If you want a cheap controller to play games on a Mac this is probably not your best option.

    I bought this a month back, I did not used it much, but working perfectly for all the time I have used it. There is one problem I was facing, the vibration does comes up while I play it using NFS, I have tried all the settings on the game, but didn't worked out for me.

    Device is easy to to set up and easier to use. Setup was basically plug and play. Vibration feedbak was a plus. I have no complaints about this controller.

    Even though it's unsupported by the manufacturer it is still a solid controller for games that do not need an Xbox 360. But it is an easy fix to make it Xbox 360 controller compatible

    It's an ok controller that doesn't particularly impress. If you're an emotional gamer - like me - then you might find it loses sensitivity after serious use - like mine.

    I was told to buy this instead of logtech version by BB rep, it doesnt work well with Neverwinter online, and trade it away to my nephew and got logtech to work better. so i am not happy to buy wrong brand. (just off topic) this same BB rep just had almost made me go for lay-away for Asus PC gamer tower, decided to look for reviews before decide. i have been turn down few times in past.

    Solid, reliable game controller

    I am pleased with this purchase. The gamepad is not too heavy or bulky but fits in the hand comfortably. I wasn't expecting any rumble or vibration technology built into this thing, so the absence of that feature doesn't matter much to me. Basically, what you get is a solid and reliable game controller without much in the way of frills. If you want something with more hotkeys or with vibration, you'd need to seek a different item. Good value, as far as I'm concerned.
