 Almost perfect., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: MICROSOFT Freestyle Pro Controller w/ Matt Hoffman Pro BMX (Personal Computers) I got my first Freestyle Pro in the very late 90's/early 00's, right about the time it's first-run retail life was winding-down. It was the first PC gamepad I ever purchased, and let me tell you, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Not counting the Atari 2600 or Vic-20 , I had cut my console-gaming teeth on Nintendo and PlayStation 1 controllers, which worked well, but were limited in the level of control they offered. Analog joysticks afforded more precise control, but I found them somewhat unwieldy and less intuitive with the button layout. When I found the Freestyle Pro, it seemed like it would be a good compromise between the two. I had no idea. Despite it's bulky size and (at the time) unorthodox shape, the ergonomics are pretty good. It fits comfortably in my adult male hands, though others might not find this so. Buttons are fairly well-placed (the fire buttons could be a little lower), sufficient in quantity (10 total: 6 fire, 2 shoulder, 1 "start" and 1... Read more  Awesome, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: MICROSOFT Freestyle Pro Controller w/ Matt Hoffman Pro BMX (Personal Computers) I have been using this controller for years. I use it for all my motorcycle and other driving computer games. I bought another one not too long ago just in case something happened to my original. There is nothing else like it, smooth, easy to control and versatile. I wish I could use it on my PlayStation 3 or I wish Microsoft would come out with its equivalent for the PS3 because it blows the sixaxis controller away. 1 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Works for me!, By This review is from: MICROSOFT Freestyle Pro Controller w/ Matt Hoffman Pro BMX (Personal Computers) I bought my Microsoft Freestyle Pro game controller after my InterAct PC Powerpad Pro 6 (which I was 110% satisfied with!) had unfortunately surrendered to obsolescence when I upgraded my PC; serial controllers have since gone the way of the dinosaur! I looked into the serial-USB adapter cables but have heard nothing but bad things about them! So, I started looking for a USB controller that had six buttons minimum and found this Freestyle Pro; to my surprise when I unpacked the thing I discovered that it comes with it's own Serial to USB cable! (which works just fine by the way!) I thought there would be issues when I discovered that the CD-ROM only provides drivers for Windows 98 and other reviews that I had read (shortly after ordering the thing!) claimed to have issues getting drivers to support the controller under Windows XP; fear not though people, whilst I don't dispute the fact that these customers had issues installing the controller under Windows XP you...

I played Midnight Run II (windows) with these wheels and didn't experience the force feedback either. However, when I played NASCAR 3 with these wheels, then I got vibrations in the steering wheel when taking turns too tight, but nothing when bumping the wall or another car. The force feedback amounts to a 'humming' vibration and is actually annoying. btw - there's an option in NASCAR 3 you have to turn on for the force feedback to work. The force feedback was just a 'nice' feature for me, but I really got it for the USB connection and table top design. I have a couple of the Interact V3 racing wheels and their 'sit nestled between your legs' design is awkward to deal with and it's too tall to effectively use them on a table. But the LogiTech wheels work great on a table top! The LogiTech connectors are a little more reliable too. The pin connector housing on...

Analog potentiometers slide along infinite voltage points between turn-left or right. The wheel suction cups hold snugly for a standard desktop. The pedals tend to slip slightly and may be at a slightly awkward angle, but can easily be mounted to a small, inexpensive piece of hardboard or plywood, or car floormat. You could also design a 1x2 wood slide-into-place framework. The twenty-dollar "Try Me" wheel I returned was DIGITAL (full turn-left or right), as ineffective as using keyboard arrow keys. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Good Wheel, By Robin R. Owen "Robin" (Lake Powell UT USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Logitech NASCAR Racing Wheel with Vibration Feedback - USB ( 963339-0403 ) (Personal Computers) This wheel does the job. It's not super fancy but you still get the driving experience. Enjoy! |
