This gamepad has one of the worst D-pads I have ever used. Not only does the pseudo-analog functionality make it difficult to use in games that expect digital controls, the design of the stick is such that the pad gets stuck in the housing if you push it too far. Don't bother.
If you want console quality but on your PC, don't bother with flimsy copycat PC gamepads because they ALL suck.
A friend gave me this pad before considering throwing it in the trash.
Get a Lik-Sang adapter and you can use PS1&2 pads on your PC.
After two days of having it, >I< threw it in the trash.
Atleast those actually worked.
So its never fast enough on oldskool games because of all its "give." It has the right ammount of buttons (Start, Select, L & R) but that D-pad is soooo hoakie.
The D-pad has got to be the worst thing about it, its a D-pad that wants to be an analog stick.
I'd rather have an old Turbo Touch 360's flat touch panel from my Nintendo days.
Download Joy2Key and you'll have awesome Keyboard and Mouse mapping software just like any Saitek or Logitech pad.
Please do not waste your hard-earned money on this device. This is by far the WORST controller I have ever used. You will be terribly disappointed. Today I went out and bought a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad for the same price at Best Buy. While playing Final Fantasy VII (with an emulator), my characters have attacked each other just because of the controller's sporadic nature. The calibration is terrible, and the little "Precision" button is a joke. The up directional button doesn't work at all--my characters just end up going down instead--and the cursor goes crazy without even touching it. We'll see how that goes.
It keeps wandering to the left or right.When i called Gravis and asked, the lady with the foreign accent at tech support tried telling me that it was the game and that I needed to try another. I bought a Gravis Gamepad Pro about 7-8 years ago and it is still going strong to this day. I told her this was my only game. She said then that a technician would call me back. So this past weekend I bought the Gravis Eliminator Gamepad Pro. My 6 year old and I have been playing Wakeboarding unleashed and knew we needed another gamepad. Unfortunately, I cannot calibrate it correctly. still waiting.It's going back to the store.
I bought this because I liked the feel and flexibility of the dpad, but I took the first one back because the dpad got stuck. Now my second unit has the same problem, after several months of use.
