"Logitech Controller"
I bought one of these to try it out, and I loved it so much. No driver needed, and it worked well.

Then I bought one for my girlfriend, one for my brother, and another for myself (for multiplayer games). For some reason, two of them just stopped working. I don't know what happened.

"Beware of bugs"
i bought this controller to make gaming more fun, and was disappointed for two reasons.
1. the "Blaster" or "Blow Stuff Up" type games i like really don't operate well with this controller. i should have purchased a Joystick, or a Gamepad. Lesson learned.
2. THIS IS IMPORTANT: I BELIEVE THAT THIS GAMEPAD INFECTED MY COMPUTER. about a week or so after i plugged it in, my computer became noticeably SLOWER. i didn't know why, and it bothered me. i have two programs to protect my computer with no problems. then i heard a podcast interview of a government guy about Cyber Security. he noted an investigation into cheap digital picture frames made in China and sold all over this country. it seems that these picture frames, which rotated photos uploaded from your computer, were infected, no were actually MANUFACTURED, with a secret program which "took over" your computer and made it do things you never wanted them to do. like attack web-servers, or hack sensitive sites here or anywhere around the world. your computer becomes a "ZOMBIE", working in concert with thousands of other "zombie computers" to do malicious things. a slower computer was one of the warning signs. i had never heard of that, but it made sense. i removed the controller from my computer and will never use it again. i used my Windows Vista System Restore and haven't had any problems since. here's what i advise: beware any cheap gadgets made in china. think twice before you plug it in to your computer. i know china makes everything now, but if its a NEW product, and it hasn't been on the market long enough that i hasn't been thoroughly tested by others, and if its so cheap that its hard to see how anyone is making a good profit on it, except if the product has its own HIDDEN agenda, I WOULD STAY AWAY!!!

"Does what it is supposed to do.. "
Plug it in - Win XP installed without a flaw - little configuration in ZSNES - and away we go.

"Good for basic game"
Pro: good price, satisfy basic gamer
Con: no joystick

I have this gamepad for a while. It is ok for most of the basic (old) game, but then I now feel like to have a joystick, especially when playing for a few hours.

"Performs better than it looks"
Honestly when I first put this on my wishlist for my birthday, I said to myself "I hope this doesn't break in a week." And when I got it on my birthday, I took one upclose look at it and said to myself "I bet this IS going to break in a week." It LOOKS really cheap. But in this case, appearances can be deceiving.

I've used it for three weeks now almost every day and so far, not a problem in the world. Performs excellently. I even dropped it a couple times, and luckily, nothing got broken. My bro has the version of this that has the dual shock on it. His seems to have some issues on some stuff. I say, when you're going to go with something cheap, KEEP IT SIMPLE.

That's what this is. Simple. And it performs great.
