2.0 out of 5 stars Usuable but clumsy. Read for an alternative., January 31, 2005

This review is from: Saitek P2500 Rumble Force PC Game Pad (Personal Computers)
I have been seaching for a good gamepad to use for emulators and other games on my PC for some time now and have found that while there are many great gamepads being made for Playstation 2, X-Box, and other consoles, there are few good PC gamepads worth buying. While there were some positive aspects to this controller, the problems I have had with the other gamepads in the past were evident in this product as well: 1)The buttons were much too close together, resulting in accidental pushes of random buttons; 2)The analog sticks were very loose, without the resistance I was used to in other gamepads (ie. X-Box, PS2); 3)The shoulder/trigger buttons (L & R) were huge, with only one on each side rather than two as most gamepads have now; 4)There was no "start" or "select" button in the center. These functions could be programmed onto other buttons, but this was confusing and difficult to remember; 5)The D-pad (the directional buttons shaped like a plus sign), essential for many...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Buy for the Console Gamer in You, June 20, 2004

I bought this controller on impulse after I found myself playing a some ported console games and emulators with no proper game pad, and I was pleasantly surprised by its solid design and features.

After some difficulties getting the drivers installed (a well-documented problem which I resolved by reading the online FAQs and may be resolved in the next driver release as they have beta drivers you can download on the Saitek forums that resolve the issue), I found that the driver software and key programming software is solid and intuitive.

The design of this controller is practically identical to Saitek's P800, and I can't blame them for keeping the same design. All of the buttons are responsive and easy to access, and the directional pad is accurate and solid, though it may take a bit of time to get used to it because it can feel too responsive at first.

The analog sticks are smooth and accurate, and also click in to act as buttons themselves. I wouldn't recommend binding these... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great controller, but very sensitive., November 26, 2005
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Saitek P2500 Rumble Force PC Game Pad (Personal Computers)
I really like this controller. It feels great in my hands and the programming software works well for most situaitions.

My only conplaint which is why it only gets 4 stars is that the analog controls are very, very sensitive, so if you move the control slightly, the game will think you moved it a lot. Therefore, don't expect to be able to make very small movements with it. There is no way to set the sensitivity.

Also, I have to calibrate it everytime I restart the computer, because it forgets. This doesn't bother me though.
