The Bottom Line: A great game pad for most purposes, and it don't cost an arm and a leg. Lots of features, Profiler software.. great controller.

Review: Introduction.

After having tried a couple of bargain priced game pads, and not really finding what I was looking for, I decided to check out Logitech's Dual Action game pad. It was only twenty dollars, and it looked...

Funnel Introduction
In how many ways can you say something is crap? I bought the Logitech Dual Action controller for $20 and it has really let me down.

The design is really nice. If you look at the picture, you'll...

Pros: Familar layout and feel, sturdy construction, highly programable via Profiler

Cons: Does not interpret programed presses correctly, D-pad does not work correctly, & alot more

The Bottom Line: Good for console-based games that work best with analog sticks. Not for D-Pad games or emulators.

Review: I was looking at this at Best Buy, thinking "this looks perfect for my collection of emulators and emulated games". It was on display for quite a while, but we rarely get it in stock! So when I saw one sitting there all nicely boxed up, I had to...

Pros: Great feel to controller, buttons are placed well, great software, low price, very durable

Cons: No Rumble feature, hard finding game profiles on net

The Bottom Line: Best Bet if not willing to spend more than $20. No rumble feature, but otherwise this mimics PS2 controller flawlessly.

Introduction
The Logitech Dual Action Controller is one of the latest versions of controllers that mimics the...

Pros: Feels great, Programs easily to be similar to Halo/Halo2, Very responsive, Inexpensive

Cons: Right stick is too sensitive when aiming or shooting.

The Bottom Line: I recommend it for Call of Duty 2. It isn't perfect for shooting, but it's adequate and is superior to the keyboard.

Review: I've only played one game with this controller, Call of Duty 2, and the controller is excellent with one very important exception.

First, the good
I configured this gamepad to be just like a controller for the XBox when playing...

Pros: makes video games easier to play and more fun

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Great game pad for a great price. Value.

Review: I have owned about 4 of these Logitech Dual Action USB game pads. Not because they keep breaking, but because I give them away to people who use mine and want one of their own.

The game pad's shape fits easily into your hands. The feeling...

Pros: Inexpensive, Perfect feel and control, USB

Cons: Serious analog stick problem

The Bottom Line: You should probably stay away from this controller because of its serious design flaw regarding the analog stick.

Review: As soon as I saw the likeness to a Playstation 2 controller, and the friendly $20 price tag.. I knew I had to get this product.


The Basics

The controller is almost an exact replica of a Playstation 2 controller. It...

Pros: cheap, works well with newer games

Cons: no force feedback

The Bottom Line: A good buy if you do not want to spend a fortune

Review: It amazes me how many negative reviews there are about this device. It is true that it is an inexpensive device and there are better ones out there, but I have not experience many of the problems that people are complaining about. It is possible...

Pros: Everything would be so great, except...

Cons: ... after a while, it just stops working.

The Bottom Line: If it worked longer than 3 months, I would have given it 5 stars.

Review: This will be a short review about my experiences with this game pad.


My Experience

I first received this game pad from a friend who somehow got it for free. It was in an open box but was basically new. So I thanked...

Pros: Shape, looks

Cons: It DOES NOT WORK Hardware and software problems Total lack of support from Logitech

Review: This gamepad has problems and people all over the net have the *very same issue* with the left analog stick stopping working, losing calibration.
It's a cheap pad, literally.
Logitech is not acknowledging the problem so DON'T BUY IT.
