What our customer's say!

"Good but not good enough", I am giving this controller 2 stars because I had too many issues with keys that would send their strokes multiple times. I used it for playing poker and at times I would press a key for one window, the controller would continue sending that key to other windows causing me to lose money. I promptly stopped using it and have the Wolf King command pad.

"Performs as expected", I just tried the PZ31A on my PC (under Windows XP Pro) and found it worked very well with an old flight-simulator game called TIE Fighter (Collecter's Edition). The original TIE Fighter game did not allow controls to be remapped, but using the PZ31A I was able to group all the commonly used controls into an area easy reached by my fingers.

I would have given the PZ31A 5-stars but the only down-notch is for the software configuration. Configuring the profile was not intuitive to understand, and took me over two hours of reading the manual and digging on the internet to figure out how to get the key-customization setup. If you have no patience with studying for a few hours how to configure a controller then you should probably avoid.

Also, as of June 6, 2008, the image in this particular Amazon listing does not match the version I received. The unit seems to be a newer model and doesn't appear as snazzy as the grey and black-colored unit in the picture listed. One difference is the manual for the profile configuration indicates there are three color-coordinated configurations, being blue, green and red, but on the unit I received there was a faint yellow-color in place of the blue color.

"Made for a man... :(", Created for long manly fingers, which I do not have, I have small girly hands and although I did keep it since I desperately needed it I found myself re-adjusting the set up over and over, I just never got comfortable with it. The programing is insane, I tried to figure it out but just could not. When they mean this item is adjustable they mean ONLY the thumb pad is, kinda deceiving since it looks like you could also adjust the base and make it shorter, not so. the 4 top keys are too far for me to reach and the little joystick gets in the way more than anything. Also after 3 months of use the keys are really starting to look worn but have remain kinda hard to push. Keys 20/21 are a total mystery to me. I will say if you are good with programming keypads, if you have long fingers and you play very hard it should be right for you.

"Excellent in Theory, Poorly and Cheaply Made", I've had 2 of these. TWO. I loved the first one so much that when it broke after only a few months of use, I had to buy another. Well the second one just broke - almost on cue, actually.

This is a great unit when it works. The buttons are nice, the positions is good, and I found that it really helped me play better as I wasn't alwsays looking for buttons and finger positioning.

The problem is that it's made VERY cheaply. The software itself is very poorly designed; it's a pain to use with Vista, it doesn't take advantage of certain key possibilities, and other nuances that, while individually small, make the software look and feel like a high schooler designed it. The unit is also made of very cheap plastic. The thumbcontroller gets dirty too easily (I'm not a messy person ordinarily), the buttons stick over time, and other obvious things that just scream "I'm made very cheaply by the lowest bidder using the cheapest materials and no QC".

If you're a casual gamer, maybe this will be OK as you won't use it enough to wear it down; but if you're a casual user you probably don't need something like this.

But if you really want a great tool that makes playing easier, I'd suggest looking at something with a little better quality manufacture.

"Happy", High quality and works as advertised.

The programming software seems overly cryptic, but downloading the latest version from their website was a big improvement.

"Great Gift idea for the gamer in your life!", This is a great product. My husband loves it to play his games with....Product was as promised and quick shipping.

"Not as good as the N52", I have the N52 gamepad and this is not as good. The toggle on it is very touchy to drive vehicles and fly aircraft. I really like the way it lights up since I play in total darkness most of the time and also the selector switch at the top left comes in handy to switch profiles on the fly. If you don't mind not having a lighted keypad and being able to switch profiles on the fly then this gamepad is for you!

"OMG, I love this...", Easy setup in XP, as I understand there is no easy setup of anything in Vista but thats M$'s problem, by Vista SP2 maybe things will work as designed.
The programming software took hours, not because it's hard,but there are so many options.
One complaint, they do not specially mention this unit in the instructions, so you are jumping back and forth between joysticks to decide what type the little thumb switch is.
Mine is set for movement, WASD on X and Y axis bands, I had to set them 67% - 100% and that left 132%(2 x 66% of center to max out) as dead, or it would be too jumpy while keying during combat.
I do not use but the one set, for any one class in wow, but can switch from the druid to the rogue at the mode switch easily, just hard to switch the mental processes that go with it. 3 weeks leveling the rogue and I have no recall at all of what a druid is supposed to do, oops.

"Not for the novice", needs more effort of the manufactures side for configuration scripts
I do not have the time that is required for a Gaming add on
and the Forums, and FAQ's are not of much help
this has the potential of being a great device
I view this much like Red Hat Fedora OS
belongs to the upper Click of time wasters


"Great for WoW", I bought this product to use with World of Warcraft. It has worked perfectly for me. I can't imagine playing without it now. It really improves the game experience.
