Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 with Vibration Feedback (Black)
Customer Review: Learn it and you would like it!
Summary: 4 Stars
Just like many reviewers, vibration doesn't work for me, but who cares, that does nothing except burning the battery faster. The shape and design is ideal for man hands and it functions well just like PS2 controllers. I can't really judge battery life since I just had it not too long ago. User guide are always confusing, I haven't read it, no exception in this case. Range is good with no lack experience so for. The minus 1 start was because it is hard to get all the keys to function correctly. It took me a long time configuring it again and again to get keys rights(that's for 1 game only), but the latest driver fix my problem because it can map "key strokes" to the programmable keys on the control, but it take some time to figure that out. You would see!
After all, I would still recommend it because everything else is great. It's hard to use, but it serve my purpose, what else would I expect for $30.
Customer Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was superb quality. The profiling software was simple to use and easy to create new profiles.
Range was beyond phenomenal. I was able to get signal from my computer (on the second story) to my basement. Not only did I get signal, it was lossless. Response time is extremely fast, makes you feel like you are directly plugged in.
The weight of the controller is very nice. It's not too bulky and heavy, it's just the right size and weight. There is only one thing that is not absolutely perfect about this controller. That is, the analogue sticks are bound by squares rather than the ps2 style octagon. This makes it a bit awkward when you're doing things such as madden kickoffs/tiger woods swings. But other than that, this is an absolutely amazing controller. The rumble feature doesn't always seem to work on games, but I truthfully do not care too much about rumble
Customer Review: Works in Windows 7 for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I just wanted to mention that this controller does, in fact, work perfectly fine in Windows 7, even on 64-bit (which is what I'm running). However, I will say that since I have both a 360 and a PS3, I rarely buy games for my PC that would work well with a controller. But, I have used this with no problems with just about every emulator under the sun, as well with indie games like Cave Story. Also, I've played Lego Star Wars II with it as well, and it works beautifully.
Note that I have read that some of the games labeled as "Games for Windows" have been programmed to only work with the Xbox 360 controller for PC, such as Gears of War, but since I don't have any of those, I can't say that for sure.
Again, this controller works perfectly fine in Windows 7 64-bit for all the games I have after I downloaded the newest Windows 7 drivers from Logitech's website.
Customer Review: Super Controller... bad driver
Summary: 4 Stars
Played FIFA 2005 using the brand new controller. Works great! First I installed the driver and software as instructed by the manual. Everything was fine. Then a week later, I removed the batteries. When I replaced the batteries, the calibration of the analog sticks were off. And there's no way to re-calibrate using the driver installed. So, I decided to uninstall the driver and software. Then, I used Windows XP's control panel to calibrate the gamepad. It works fine after that. So, if you get this gamepad, you don't need to install the drivers and software if you're using Windows XP. As for other Windows versions, you'l have to try to find out. The software is just an interface for you to assign buttons for various games that you have. Some games already allow you to reconfigure the buttons in the game's options.
Overall, great gamepad and range is pretty good too.
Customer Review: Greatest Device EVER.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is THEE greatest controller ever made. EVER. EVERRRR. I usually dont review things on here (that is something my husband does enough of for the both of us), but when I saw that there were actually idiots giving this device lower than a four, I had to say something.
If you are having issues with this damn thing, CHECK THE FRIGGIN BATTERIES! All of the problems the people are having are totally battery issued. We had two of these and they are probably still alive and kicking today (I say probably because we lost them to thieves). Never had any issues.
Fact of the matter is... DONT BUY WIRELESS CONTROLLERS IF YOU ARE TECHNOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED. Its as simple as that. Get the good old ones that just plug right into your console or PC. Leave the high tech stuff for those of us who actually know how to use it, and appreciate its perfect greatness.
