Logitech Dual Action Game Pad

Logitech Dual Action Game Pad

Strengths: Dual joysticks, good feel, easy setup, downloadable profiles.

Weakness: None so far.

This is the first gamepad I have used, and purchased it due to it's poppularity and good reviews. Installation and setup was easy on my Windows XP computer. The Logitech web site has pre-configured profiles (button mappings) for many games for downloading. I have only used it with the Need for Speed III racing game so far. It works great and feels good in hand. Has many programmable buttons. The...

Warning to all

Strengths: Cheap, dirt cheap.

Weakness: Worth about as much as dirt. Analog sticks *will* fail with time.

I bought this at a local computer shop for only 20$ AU, incredibly cheap for a gamepad. You get what you pay for I guess. The design of the gamepad is very nice, it fits well into the hand, and all the buttons are easily pressable. After four months though, the controller died, at times it would unresponsive, at times it would work, the calibration on the analog sticks would fail. After I gave up...

Logitech Dual Action Game Pad

Strengths: Great Precision (WHILE IT LASTS), All buttons and D-pad react efficiently, Familar Design, Plug n Play

Weakness: Weak connection causes analog stick to lose calibration, Logitech has never resolved issue, weak tech support, drivers don't allow recalibration

This controller was great and worked flawlessly for the first couple of weeks. Then one of the analog controls began to act up and since has only worsen. I installed it plug n play and was suggested to install their latest drivers for the problem. That basically killed use of the controller since their drivers have no manual calibration option. Before, I would use XPs tool which would fix the...

Buyer Beware

Strengths: Good Design

Weakness: Breaks down after 3 weeks! Zero customer support!

I bought this gamepad for NHL 2005 last year. I was amazed how wonderful the controller functioned and how well designed it was. For about 2-3 weeks I was extremely happy with it. But then it started to randomly lose calibration. I would reset the calibration and it would work again. Then it would lose calibration more and more often. Eventually, it stopped working altogether. I went to...

Logitech Dual Action Game Pad

Strengths: Cheap, functional, works fine while its not broken

Weakness: Breaks under heavy use, especially playing sports games

There is nothing wrong with the design only that for 20 bucks its durability becomes a question mark. I've had it for 5 months and played mvp baseball basically a couple of times with it. NHL 2005 came out recently and i played a lot and when i mean a lot i mean hours. Well recently it the right analog just gave out and now it "sticks" or keeps goin in one direction without u pushing it in that...

Logitech Dual Action Game Pad

Strengths: close to the ps controller

Weakness: sticky joysticks that will stop working

This is the worst controller out there. yes it looks nice and feels nice and it has that ps controller look and thats what made me buy it. but you will find out soon enough that the joysticks will stick making yur character move around in circles giving u bad camera angles and all sorts of bad stuff. not only do they stick they stop working after so long. i play ff11 and once i was movin i...

Logitech Dual Action Game Pad

Strengths: No loose or flimsy buttons; feels very solid; accurate analog joysticks; plug and play for Mac.

Weakness: D-pad doesn't work with my THPS4 for Mac; no rumble pack/dual shock.

I bought this controller because it looks very similar to a Playstation controller, and indeed, it's very easy to pick up if you're used to PSX or PS2. All the buttons are easy to reach and are pretty much in exactly the same place as they are on a PS controller. There's no vibration, but if you read the description (and look at the low price), you shouldn't expect it. This low price doesn't mean...

Logitech Dual Action Game Pad

Strengths: Good control, solid construction. Good feeling buttons.

Weakness: Thumb grips a little short(only complaint, and its so miniscule!)

This is a very good solid controller. I got it for 20 bucks and its great. Just like the playstation 2 controller. My friends have similar controllers from other manufacturers and they have problems with odd feeling buttons or shotty construction. This controller doesn't have these flaws and was worth $20 in a heartbeat.

Logitech Dual Action Game Pad

Strengths: Plug and play with XP, works great in the games

Weakness: None found yet

This is the controller of choice for most of the EA Sports 2004 games. It took some getting used to after switching from my Sidewinder, but the extra controls on this are worth the learning curve. And you can't play a good game of MVP 2004 without it. I would certainly purchase another one of these for another system in a heartbeat.
