4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect., January 30, 2010

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, December 1, 2008

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.

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...
