What's great about it: very compatible with the game I play most; DC Universe Online
What's not so great: shape of controller rubs callus on knuckles, wire breaks easy
I've only had this controller for about 3 months and the wire housing against the controller split and exposed wires when coiling the USB wire around the device after each use. This is a durability fail.
After about 2 months of use, I noticed calluses forming on my middle finger knuckles. The shape of the controller is a problem for rubbing skin.
Otherwise this controller worked great. I however would NOT recommend it to a friend because for $40 ... I would expect a lot more from logitech.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Nice design, and works with pretty much any game
What's not so great: Dies after 3 months or so
This is a great controller, works with any game, has analog and easy to use. However the biggest problem is that the cord is cheap, thus it dies out quick, after 2-3 months at most.
Its not worth the price at all, price should be 9.99.
Buy a xbox 360 controller instead, but buy this at a cheaper price for a secondary pad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was the perfect gamepad when I upgraded my PC.
Smooth controls, dual triggers, dual sticks and really good software.
Great for racing & sports games and for FPS games. Inexpensive and comfortable so it;s a good gamepad for those getting started

What's great about it: It looks nice.
What's not so great: The software makes virtually unusable.
On Vista, I have to re-install it almost every time I boot. The software that ships with the controller won't find it. The latest version, downloaded from Logitech's support site, finds it about half the time. The Logitech support site has a device detector web app which finds the controller when the installed stuff won't. (But a lot of good that does you. At least you know it's connected.) As others have noted, it reads like the XBox 360 controller, and in fact, the software from Microsoft for the XBox 360 controller finds the device much more reliably than the Logitech Profiler. Of course, calibrating it is not possible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: design, comfortable
What's not so great: not very durable
I am and have been a big fan of logitech for some time, and still am, but as of late i am not to fond of this wired controller. I have purchased two wired controllers(This model). Every time on the controller, the cord that comes right out of the controller get's loose or breaks and it keeps acting as if i unplugged it and plugged it back in, it really got annoying. If you want a controller for gaming i would recommend the wireless from logitech, it is a little bit heavier, but it is alot more durable and you dont need to worry about wires.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Decent controller, Fair prices
What's not so great: Wear down very quickly.
Being a gamer. I was seeking a cheap decent controller. A very common thing to happen to all controller is the wiring on the circuit board will wear down overtime. Causing it to cut in and out. Very annoying.
The process wearing down a controller takes years. I have replace this controller 3 times.
First time I bought this controller use off ebay. Dies after about a month. I wasn't suprise because it was a use product.
2nd time I bought it directly from bestbuy.com same controller with the bestbuy protection plan. Wears down after 2 weeks. Cutting in and out.
3rd time I exchange the old controller for a new one in-store using the bestbuy protection plan. Wears down after 2 weeks again. Cuts in and out. Will exchange it when I can.
I used many controllers in my lifetime and never had a controller wears out this quickly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Good price, Best I know of for Retro Gaming
What's not so great: D pad placement, D pad does seem a bit flimsy
This gamepad is excellent. It is the best controller I know of at the moment for retro gaming. I am running Vista and it installed without any problems. The profiler software is great. With the switch on the back of the controller set to "D" you can map all the controls to keyboard keys. This means you can play old adventure games like Ultima IV almost entirely without using the keyboard. The switch on the back must be set to "D" to use the profiler software. Also pressing the mode button on the top will swap the D pad and left analog stick.
The xbox controller does feel more sturdy but the Logitech feels fine. I don't get the impression the buttons or sticks will fail soon. For regular gaming I would prefer the xbox 360's D pad placement. The D pad does seem a bit flimsy.
This controller has a lot of configuration options, its constructed well and works fine. As far as I know it is the choice for retro gaming.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Comfortable grip, trigger buttons
What's not so great: Software is buggy
The Logitech F310 is a fairly decent controller. Its high points are the triggers that, when in racing games, can precisely control steering and throttle. The design fits in your hand quite well, and is comfortable for prolonged use. However, this device does have some drawbacks. The D-Pad feels cheaply made, as it wobbles slightly when your thumb rests on it. The controller is very light, which to some may be an advantage, but I prefer heavier controllers like that of the 360's weight. And the biggest drawback is the software. When loading the profiler, the software will hang when it is "Building game profiles" And in order to remap keys (For instance, you want a button to replicate a key that cannot be altered in the games settings), you have to switch to DirectInput mode, which will make the triggers act as a button, rather than having variable control. Overall, this controller isn't bad if you are budgeted.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: the price.. button layout.
What's not so great: cord, laggy, feels cheap, triggers.
i bought this control it was ok but a little slow on commands it was a bit laggy. i bought the control when i bought call of duty black ops. The control has a different feel to it. and feels very cheap. the cord went bad on mine. and i was gunna buy another F310 but went with the xbox 360 control. i should have bought it xbox rather then F310 wasted $25 plus taxes. that i could have used toward buying the xbox control.. by the way im a ps3 fan but got use to the xbox layout fast..

What's great about it: Easy to set up and good pricing
What's not so great: Trigger buttons seem a bit weak
The controller itself has a great design. Installing it and getting it to work on my computer was a breeze. I play some sports games on my computer and the controller has taken the burden of having to use the keyboard away. The top 4 buttons, also known as the triggers, however, seem a bit flimsy. Not terrible, but they seem like they would be the first to break over time. Other than that, it works perfectly!
So far, no problems at all and I highly reccomend this product!!
Cheers!
