    5 out of 5 stars Great all rounder   November 29, 2008
    Very comfortable grip, works with almost all the games i have for pc. For those who say it doesn't work with vista it does, vista finds and installs the drivers automatically so no need for the disk. And the drivers are also fine, i haven't run into any problems whatsoever.

    Don't hesitate to buy this just because of negative reviews, its cheaper than a lot of other controllers but it is a lot better than any other pc controller i've used. The lengthy cable that comes with it means i can sit back on a sofa while playing games.

    This makes especially good for racing games like Pure or Need For Speed.
    If you've already used a 360 controller then how great these are should need no explaining.

    Enjoy!



    1 out of 5 stars Amazingly squeaky and now in the bin   November 10, 2008
     2 out of 6 found this review helpful

    When the parcel arrived I ran around the village twice totally involuntarily - great delivery. Very squeaky analogue stick after owning the product for under a month and using it rarely. So annoying that I had to smash it into tiny pieces and now lies peacefully squeaking no more in my wicker basket bin. Will be ordering a second time and KEEPING the packaging so I can send it back when the new one starts squeaking. Don't buy twice, buy once and keep your packaging (which is impossible not to ruin when you open it because it is heat crimped shut).


    5 out of 5 stars Get Pinnacle Game Profiler!   November 7, 2008
     1 out of 2 found this review helpful

    I always found the Playstation controller easier, until my hands got too big. Preferred PC games but the easy of console gaming was too much to ignore. Was a PS2 user for its lifespan, then "High Definition" gaming happened. Was unsure which to go for xbox360 or the PS3... both of which turn out to be happy with HD Ready/720p graphics, I am not.
    Found the perfect solution, custom built(by me) gaming PC, with the ease and comfort of the Xbox360 controller.

    One problem, joysticks and PC games never got on. And there is limited support for this controller with PC games, of the many games I own only Crysis has built in support for it.
    To use the xbox360 controller with your other games i recommend purchasing the profiler. You get a trial period, and if you decide to buy there is fantastic support for a lot of other games. Profiles are made by Pinnacle themselves or by other gamers, or you can customise and create your own.
    Costs about 12.

    Am now happily enjoying STALKER, FEAR, The Witcher and Oblivion without the fear of hitting the Windows button.



    3 out of 5 stars Good but not great   October 20, 2008
     2 out of 3 found this review helpful

    The good stuff:
    This is really well made bit of kit.
    Its dead comfortable
    analog stick and triggers are nice and responsive

    Downside:
    The supplied drivers are awful (can be sorted using XBCD drivers)
    I don't think much to the d-pad

    Its a good solid pad, but I still like the old xbox Controller S pad more



    5 out of 5 stars A great piece of kit!   October 18, 2008

    I must say I went for the more pricey wireless version of the controller, but they're essentially the same product. It's fantastically designed with excellent build quality. I also give credit for the fact that it's slightly weighty which goes down well when playing games, because it feels very robust.

    I'm cursed with massive hands, and despite the compactness of the thing, it fits beautifully into my palms, and my ability to engulf it makes operating the thumb sticks feel much more sturdy. It's so tactile and you feel that you are playing with a very high quality device, yet at the same time it manages to slip from existence when you are fully immersed in game play.

    I am certain that you will not regret purchasing this controller, as it makes the perfect companion for any PC gamer!
