 Best Gamepad ever made! End of Story April 17, 2008
I've owned two of these great controllers for over six years and have never had an issue with either. They calibrate just fine in Windows XP, with either the default Windows XP drivers or Logitech's. Having 11 buttons I can map a game to, plus the POV, two analog directional sticks and the slider control is a MUST. I don't understand why logitech went to a WORSE design. My 9 year old son can use them on GTR2 to win races if that gives you an idea of how precise they can be.
Rechargeable batteries are the only way to go, usually get about 45-60 hours of gameplay on a single charge.
As for the receiver going dead...in six years the light on the receiver stopped blinking a couple of times. Just unplugged it and plugged it back in again, and it worked fine. Please bring back this design Logitech, your current model looks awful!
Good product April 8, 2007
I got this for couple of years. It still works now. Good quality except battery life.
Great gamepad! August 17, 2005
This is my second Logitech Rumblepad. The first one I bought many years ago when it was first released. It has been the best at all EA Sports titles and racing games. I had to purchase a new gamepad because I spilled something sticky by one of the buttons, so it doesn't always pop back up when pressed.
Its hard to find these now because Logitech has introduced a new Rumblepad but it only has 4 buttons on the top and I'm used to the old model which has 6.
 Dead Stick July 7, 2005
Yup, the left analag stick failed for me too - which now causes my character to run left at random times while playing GTA. Up until that it was a great pad. Weight is not an issue, the batteries lasted long enough, and the number of buttons and triggers was perfect for GTA. As much as I like this gamepad, I might search for something more reliable than get burned for another $50
Flawed, but probably closest to perfect out there September 6, 2004

The Logitech Cordless Wingman rumblepad is quite the gamepad. And, I love it. It's not perfect, but it is very close.
Sure, the pad is heavy, and some people might find it a bit large, but that doesn't get in the way. The programming software i very simple, well thought out and intuitive. You can tell the designers actually used it. The pad has plenty of buttons, all of the programmable. I get heavy MAME use out of it, and it works wonderfully. With a little thought and cleverness, you can play dual stick games as well as paddle games (thanks to the throttle slider). It's not as good as one of those custom jostick setups, but it gets the job done.
The only other drawback is that it requires four AA batteries. That means replacing 4 AA batteries, which could get expensive. I've had mine for a couple months and have not had to replace them, though. Which speaks well of the auto-shutoff design. It's not perfect, but I can really appreciate the enginerring forethought put into this product.
