Sports, action, shooters, you name it. The familiar layout of this gamepad brings console-style control to your PC games. Bring the gaming console experience to your PC with this game controller that features broad game support for wide-ranging use and a floating D-pad for simple operation. The 6' cord allows you to sit back and relax while playing your favorite games.

I bought this controller mostly for game console emulators (nes, snes, playstation, etc..) and it really works great. I used to use my old Microsoft Sidewinder controller but this one is 10 times better.
One problem I had with the Sidewinder was that in a lot of games that require you to duck to avoid something, you had to press exactly down on the d-pad. If you weren't perfect about it then you'd get up and get hit by whatever it was you were trying to avoid. This controller doesn't have this problem at all. So now a lot of games that were practically unplayable with the Sidewinder work great with the Logitech controller.
Another thing that's great is that you can use the analog stick instead of the d-pad if you want. For some reason you have to press the 'mode' button to switch between the d-pad and analog stick though, but it's not a big deal.
I took one star off the 'Ease of Use' category because if you have Windows XP the driver that comes with the controller doesn't seem to work. It doesn't detect the controller. It turns out you need to install the drivers for a Microsoft XBox controller. The reason is that this Logitech controller and XBox controllers both use something called XInput. Here's the link for the driver you need if you have Windows XP: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming Also, the switch on the back of the controller needs to be set to 'X'.
What's great about it: Works great, not too pricey
What's not so great: Tricky to set up in Windows XP, but works great once it's set up.
I would recommend this to a friend!
