Strengths:Familiar design that anyone can get the hang of.

Weaknesses:Controller is not that well built

Summary:When I got this controller a few months back I was surprised at it\'s quality, however overtime some of the buttons would get slightly jammed, not enough to make me stop using it and it was only for a quarter of a second. However, 5 months into using the controller I dropped it while putting on the table and one button stopped working. That tells me that it was poorly wired, and that is a shame. I did like this controller.

Strengths:No lag, long battery life, comfortable, long range receptor

Weaknesses:Vibration doesn\'t work with many games

Summary:The Logitech Rumblepad 2 is awesome. Its wireless with no lag, and fits very nicely in the hands. Being wireless, I can lay down on the bed and play games all day long. I liked this gamepad so much I\'m going to purchase another incase a friend comes over.

Strengths:Works perfect for emulators! The analog sticks glide nicely.

Weaknesses:The digital control pad feels rather flimsy (but works fine).

Summary:I love this controller. It works great overall, but there have been a few problems. I installed it first on my laptop with no issues, then tried on my desktop. The pad works, but the software it came with won\'t recognize it (so I can\'t configure it with the Logitech software). Both computers use Windows XP. But its fine, I downloaded a free program called Xpadder (www.xpadder.com/...), which works tons better than any logitech software and gave the controller FULL funtionality. Also, the digital pad feels pretty flimsy, like it could brake anytime. Luckily I\'ve had no problems with it yet. All the other buttons feel good and are firm. Great controller, should have bought two!

Strengths:Wireless, Fancy and comfortable.

Weaknesses:The support is not so good, and I didn\'t find how to set up a continuous hit.

Summary:I have bought this game pad for more than 5 months but didn\'t use it much - I don\'t have too much time. But I think this one is very good because I tried and liked it very much. The only drawback is the support is not so good. I tried to use this game pad for my NeoGeo 97 but I can\'t find how to set up a continuous hit (if it\'s called so), and made the game so tough for me. I searched the support but couldn\'t find it either. and the buttons are the way too hard for me and made a pain on my finger.

Strengths:Great controller. Has never lost connection even though it is wireless. Battery life is great (havent replaced the batteries even though I have had it for 3 months). Great with emulators.

Weaknesses:Have not been able to use the rumble features yet even though I have Madden 05 and NBA Live 05 which are advertised on the box of the logitech rumblepad 2.

Summary:This is an awesome controller, fits well to your hand, great with emulators. I purchased the cordless rumblepad 2 from newegg in march 05 for twenty-eight bucks plus five for shipping. I was very pleased with this purchase with the exception of the fact that I have not found a game which supports rumble features.

Strengths:Excellent product. Very responsive, no lag time, very comfortable, large # of buttons, wireless, rumble feature can be turned off

Weaknesses:None that I have found. The gamepad might be too heavy for some, but considering it is wireless and thus has to contain betteries it is really rather light.

Summary:If you are looking for a gamepad this is the one to get. Wireless is the way to go, it gives you much more freedom. Logitech is a great company to buy from. The gamepad\'s features are top of the line. I highly recommend.

Strengths:Smoothly control, power feedback

Weaknesses:Wired, low quality material

Summary:I recently bought this Cordless Rumblepad 2 and it was worth every cent. It runs great on MVP Baseball 2005, Lock On and other games I have. I have many joysticks before and always wanted this one. But it was a toss up with other joystick and the Logitech stick. The only bad thing I seen so far was the feeling of the material. But it true what you pay is what you get. If you are EA Sports game like me, get the edge and take this one home.

Strengths:Wirelss, Good range, Comfortable grip, No installation needed w/Windows XP.

Weaknesses:Haven\'t found any games that support vibration on this gamepad.

Summary:First of all, this is great gamepad. Previously, I used generic usb gamepad and this is much better in terms of quality and feature. When I plugged in to my computer, Windows XP recognized it automatically. I didn\'t have to install software that came with it. Wireless range is pretty good as well. I can play games more freely without cord. I played EA games such as FIFA 2005 and MLB 2005. Like other reviewers said, vibration didn\'t work with those games. I hope EA supports vibration for this gamepad soon. Anyways, I recommend this gamepad those who are looking for a new gamepad.

Strengths:comfortable design, easy use, plug & play, much more function buttons, cordless and vibration feature support!

Weaknesses:can\'t find any weaknesses about this product so far!

Summary:This is the best one PC controller I ever used!! Super nice one with vibration with it. The design is similar to PS controller but more comfortable of the direction buttons design. The vibration feature brings you a great game playing experience! I personally love this controller so much and it works on all of my PC games which support gamepad use.

Strengths:Battery life,quality of build

Weaknesses:button layout..besides that nothing really

Summary:Well this is the 4th Logitech wireless (Wireless keyboard/mouse combo-MX DUO,LX500,PS2 wireless controller and this controller for the PC) product I have purchased in the course of a few months and I continue to be very pleased with their products.I gave Logitech a shot many years ago with the purchase of a marble mouse and wasn\'t too impressed but their wireless products are a different story altogether.The battery life still continues to amaze me.I am not too sure of the battey life rating of this controller BUT I imagine it is on par with the one for the PS2...which since purchasing has NEVER needed new batteries in about roughly 4 months not bad on just a couple of AA batteries (battery life is less with rumble feature activated..don\'t like rumble myself so keep it off..but even with rumble battery life is something like 50+ hours...amazing..with rumble off..like 70+ plus hours).Setup of this controller is pretty straight forward which starts with installing the software THEN plugging in the controller when prompted to do so (sometimes when installing USB devices,like printers, follow the order of operations and install the software first...trust me saves many a headache later).Actually with this controller tossed the install CD and went directly to the website for updated software/drivers as with almost every computer product always feel its best to start out with the newest software/drivers available.The USB reciever chord is also pretty long so you don\'t have to worry about it not reaching the computer.The only games I have used it on are old school video system emulators (NES,SNES,etc.) and its works w/o a hitch.The ONLY very small thing I don\'t like about this controller is the location of the rumble button and the mode button...they should have switched it around with the buttons above it (so use to the SELECT and START buttons being located where the rumble and mode buttons are..kinda messing me up) but like I said very small problem.Not sure if I mentioned it but the build of the controller is very nice.It feels like if it was to be dropped it wouldn\'t shatter into hundreds of pieces...feels like it can take a beating,durable.This is a really nice controller that doesnt keep you pinned to the small computer screen.Also just got a new video card with an S-Video output feature so got that outputting the desktop to my TV coupled with the wireless controller it feels like owning a few new video game systems when using full screen mode...sweet setup.If you have been eyeballing this controller and wondering if you should get it or not trust me get it you will be very happy with it as I have never been a BIG fan of wireless products BUT they have really improved the over the years.

Strengths:Best gamepad for pc gamers.

Weaknesses:Few games support the rumble feature. Though more may follow.

Summary:This is hands down the best gamepad for pc gamers who want to use the same easy to use controls of a console for the games that need analog input. The rumble feature gives you an enhanced gaming experience.

Strengths:No notable latency... responds just like the corded version.Great battery life. Batteries lasted me about 2 months.Awesome range.Good support for sports games.Good software

Weaknesses:Not all buttons are analog, just the joysticks.Doesn\'t come with rechargable batteries/charger

Summary:This controller is great, I have now purchased my second Rumblepad 2 because I liked the first one so much. Most EA Games come with the setup for this controller automatically. feels better than the playstation equivalent and has good support thru software for even other games that don\'t normally let you use gamepads. I recommend the freeware joy2mouse 3 to use this joystick as a wireless mouse too!

Strengths:durable, high quality material. ps2 button layout. long battery life. long range.

Weaknesses:vibration doesn\'t work with fifa 2005, although it is claimed that it works with EA sports games on the box.

Summary:I used both wireless and corded versions. they are both excellent gamepads. they feel good in your hand. wireless one is a bit heavier because of the batteries, but you\'ll like it better when you get used to it. it has excellent range. it goes to standby after 5 min if you don\'t use it, and saves battery. led light lets you know when the battery is weak. the only downside is that the vibration doesn\'t work with every game, especially the EA sports games. thats the only reason i didnt give 5 stars. also you don\'t need the software if you are using windows XP, you cannot calibrate it after you install the software that came with it.

Strengths:Many buttons, Great Vibration Feedback, Brand

Weaknesses:None.

Summary:This is an awesome PC game controller that has great vibration feedback and lots of buttons to play most modern games comfortably. The vibration feedback provides great feel for bumps and hits and works very nicely. The controller is ergonomic and feels light and comfortable in the hand. Buttons are well placed. Overall a very nice controller from Logitech.

Strengths:Very comfortable in hands. Heavy, but in a good way. Excellent layout.

Weaknesses:Hard to configure all of the buttons. It doesn\'t work exactly right with many games I play even after spending hours configuring it through Logitech Gaming Software.

Summary:It is, no doubt, a great controller for some games, but I am very disappointed. Logitech boasts a great number of premade game profiles on their website, but none of them work as they should. One example: When I play Splinter Cell, Sam can only walk, not run. On the PS2, how far you push the analog stick differentiates your speed. With this gamepad, I\'m stuck walking until I scroll the mouse wheel! I\'ve spent hours looking up support and trying to configure it, but I can\'t figure it out.
