Gravis PC Gamepad Reviews
Great Pad that lasts forever!, By Mentor397 (Beloit, WI) - See all my reviews This review is from: Gravis PC Gamepad (Electronics) I've seen the reviews for this Gamepad and I had to put my two cents in. I bought my Gamepad back in 1996 and it's been working fine since then. Only recently has it started giving me problems after I slid a desk over the cord, fraying the cable. So apparently, as long as you keep it out from under the furniture, you'd be okay. It's a simple gamepad, but it's worked for every game that I've used it so far. Unfortunately, it doesn't have USB support, but most of the games that I like to play are older games. Anyway, buy this pad and it'll last you forever. Durable and Cheap, just overshadowed by new Technology, By This review is from: Gravis PC Gamepad (Electronics) After the 1 review below I just had to create my own !! I had one of these for almost 10 years and it worked fine for all the games that I tried it on. Here's a rundown of the Pluses: ------------------------------- - It was superbly compatible with all DOS games at the time and maintained compatibility all the way up to Win98-SE. IF your PC still has a Joystick port (which I doubt) I bet It'll work fine (drivers are included in Win2000/XP). - Aside from a top-brand console pad (e.g. Nintendo), it's the best D-pad I've played with (IMHO the top 3 are SNES pad, original NES pad and the PS's Dualshock / Dualshock 2 D-pad). It could actually be used for Fighting games (i.e. Street Fighter2, etc.) even though it only has 4 buttons. Anyone who has played Fighting games will know that the D-pad can be MUCH more crucial than not being able to use the weakest attack of your character. - Also, it has been one of my longest-lasting...

Just 4 buttons and a D-pad. And what's that little switch? Oh, it flips it so you can use it upside down (makes the color buttons be directions) I had one of these for a while and I hated it. Nice for two button NES game emulation, but not SNES or anything else. Get a Lik-Sang adapter and use your old Playstation 1 or 2 pads instead. Get Joy2Key and you can do keyboard and mouse mapping like a Saitek pad. |
