Customer Reviews

Cheap, solid, works well5
Like many others here, I use this gamepad for emulators. I am pleasantly surprised by the compatibility - it works with every emulator I've tried it with (MAME, SNES9x, Nester, Gens, VColeco, Stella). There are no drivers to install if you own Windows XP - detection is flawless.

The button action is good enough to accurately simulate the feel of, say, an SNES controller or a NES controller. The d-pad is just slightly inferior to those original controllers' pads, but only ever so (no one has truly gotten it right since the big N did in those days). The buttons have enough of a digital click to them, without going overboard. They strike a great balance between click and mushiness.

This gamepad is shaped comfortably, like a PS2 pad minus the dual analog sticks. While it is light, it is not flimsy - squeezing and twisting your hands on the plastic produces very little "give" on the thick plastic parts.

I also like the pad aesthetically. The dark blue plastic is handsome and the shape is pleasing to the eye. This might seem silly, but if you're going to look at the thing resting atop your PC for months or years, it's at least a minor factor.

If, as is currently the case, this pad is available for $10 with Super Saver Shipping, you should not hesitate. For $10 or under, this gamepad is a steal!

Great controller at a great price5
This is a great piece of equipment. I'm using it with RockNES (a Nintendo emulator) on my Macintosh in OSX 10.4.4 and it works great. I didn't need to run any software, it just worked from the minute I plugged it in. It's extremely comfortable, the buttons are all programmable, and the directional pad is very precise. I tried a $30 controller that was a cheap piece of junk compared to this one. Super serious gamers who need analog joysticks or more buttons than a Playstation 2 controller will need to find something more sophisticated, but everyone else will find this controller to be a fantastic value.

great feeling pad so long as you don't need analog!4
This is a great gamepad - it's cheap, it's easy to use, and it works just fine with Macs and PCs (I've used it on both). As its name suggests, it's very precise, and I find it perfect for those arcade style games that don't necessarily require a precise analog controller. If you're wanting a gamepad for driving games though, the Logitech Dual Shock or Rumblepad is a better idea.
