best for tombraider games [Posted on 2005-09-06] nothing better for tight,precise control of lara croft.i have 4 of them all excellent for 3rd person games.my highest recommendation.my recommendation is only for this model.the 4 button on right side are junk,no matter who makes em.
Absolutely what I expected. [Posted on 2006-06-24] I bought this controller at a wal mart about a year back (roughly) And it's been pretty good for the $15 I paid for it. Now that it's showing its age, the down button doesn't work so well, but I didn't expect it to last forever. Worth $15, but not much more.
One of the best, but not perfect. [Posted on 2007-01-14] I've had this pad for a few years already. I have never had a problem with any of the buttons not working or wearing out. For $15 it's very durable. I have tried other pads and none of them are as good as, in my opinion, this one. It is very comfortable in your hands, and you just plug it in and play. With some other pads the USB would fall out with just a tap, but with the SideWinder the USB stays in until you pull it out. I only have two complaints. First the top three buttons are smaller than the bottom three, so i accidentally pushed the wrong button sometimes. Also, as is common with gamepads, the D-pad is round, so the directions aren't always precise. Sometimes I'ld be playing Street Fighter or a fighting game and I'ld push down to duck, but it would read me pushing down and forward and i'ld take a hit. It's still one of the best gamepads out there that i have tried. If you can find it at a Wal-Mart it sells for about $15. That's cheaper than most, and it's a good deal.
Best Gamepad Ever. [Posted on 2007-09-20] I've had my Sidewinder USB Gamepad for 8 years, and without a doubt it is the most durable, efficient, and reliable gamepad I have ever seen. Having grown up playing mostly console games I find using the gamepad for PC games has a much more natural feel than using a keyboard and mouse. It has lasted through nearly 1500 hours of gameplay over the past 8 years and has only started to show its age in the last few weeks. I've heard that Microsoft will begin relaunching the Sidewinder line and I can only hope that the USB Gamepad will be in the line-up.
takes some getting used to [Posted on 2008-04-27] The controls are very touchy but with some time and practice it will be good
