Buy this controller if you love to LOSE! [Posted on 2007-12-16]
The controller itself is made of decent quality. The sticks are accurate and recenter themselves well, the analog shoulder buttons have a nice tactile feel, and the buttons are responsive and not mushy. HOWEVER, Logitard was smart enough to put a sleep mode function into the controller. So, if you're playing a game where you switch between keyboard and controller (BF2 for example) and it's been 10 minutes or so since you've used the controller. When you goto use the controller you'll quickly realize that the controller is asleep! What makes it even better is that you have to COMPLETELY exit the game and restart to get the game to recognize the controller. And there's nothing better than have 10 guys yell at you over TS because you have to restart the game in the middle of a match.
Go Logitard!

Does not work with madden [Posted on 2008-01-31]
With Madden 08, this game maps button 7 and 8 to start and select, and you can't do anything about it. Completely stupid. Of course I blame EA as well, but if you want to play madden, don't get this gamepad.

not programmable [Posted on 2008-03-30]
this thing is not programmable. the logitech profiler software does not recognize it and will not profile for it, which suxxors. on the other hand, it's super comfortable as well as very cool since it has the fan. the fan is nice because it keeps my hands cool all the time. i've been using it for emulators and Lego Starwars to great effect.

Not so bad..... [Posted on 2008-05-09]
Everything aspects of the gamepad are OK but the air system it's horrible, it is really noisy, and doesn't blow enough air to really cool the hands and randomly the fan turns on, I always leave my computer on so it is really annoying..... I recommend this product if you aren't buying it for the cooling system

software doesnt work for xp well,prob for vista either [Posted on 2008-06-09]
on my xp it wouldn't detect the darn controller, then when I installed the software, all I saw was a progress bar go to max, and an ok button unfreezing, when I hit ok, the setup closes and theres nothing installed on my pc. so then I'm told I have to install updated drivers, so I go to their website (logitech.com) only to be redirected.....[wait! logitech doesnt even host their own drivers?...nope) I'm redirected to Microsoft.com to find out I have to authenticate my version of windows with Microsoft to download drivers for a logitech hardware controller!....whatever, I waste half an hour downloading the necessary authentication software from 'microsoft', to download 'logitech' drivers, to find out that the first microsoft authentication software is having problems, so I do the secondary authentication procedure of microsoft.
I get the dam pc authenticated(3 hours passed), and download one of the 2 drivers available from the redirect page of logitech.com
the dirver crashes/I get an error message when I install it, so I go through all that again to download the second driver available, same thing the driver pops up an error message when I installed it.

then I read, (on blogs after wasting time search for them of course)I read that I have to install the microsoft drivers for the xbox360 PC controller....for the 'logitech' chillstream.

after 2 hours looking for it on the internet, it didnt solve the probe either.

a friend gave me a cheap wallyWorld ps2 controller for the pc, which didn't work for his vista, and thats what I'm using now....

if you do have vista...(my condolences), this controller might work for ya... risk it if you wish

now im trying to get amazon to refund my money to my card, after going to the refund page, getting the return instructions, and shipping the dam controller back to them a month ago, still no refund to my card...

to be fair the controller though a bit small feels nice to the hand and handling, and has a big fan that blows nice air to the hands when on. but it didn't work for me.
