Macally iShockX Dual Shock Feedback Gamepad for Mac & PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm very pleased. So far it has worked with all Mac games I've tried: X-Plane 9 (the prime reason I wanted a gamepad), HyperTank, StuntMani, RC Helicopter Simulator, Colin McRae Rally, Flat Out 2 and Halo.
I even get the 'rumble,' with the one programs I have that supports that feature (Colin McRae Rally). After many years of having a Mac computer it's something new to have access to so many games and this is my first such gamepad and/or joystick thing. And it's fun and quite a new experience at the computer: real video arcade quality with some of these programs.
On the Mac it installs itself on the System Preference Panel, so you can check that all the buttons and sticks work. The Big Warning -- thought -- is not with the gamepad but not all the software programs are so clear about how to set it up, assign the sticks (um...especially the 3-year old Helicopter simulator was a hassle to get right and still seems 'too sensitive,').
So setup for each program will take a little learning and I'd check to be sure the program says it will work with a gamepad (Bioshock Demo, for example, seems to indicate it only work with the X-box gamepad)
But, the iShockX, itself: 5-stars; plug and play; it works.

Mad Catz CD64426000A1/04/1 Officially Licensed Modern Warfare 2 Combat Controller for PC Review

(More customer reviews)Great transaction, quick shipping. I'm not sure why all the reviews that I read said that this game pad did "not" work for them. This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game pad works outstandingly and not just on my COD:MW2 but on all of the first person shooter games that I own and even on my racing games, I am still working through my games to see how many it works with but I haven't found one game that is doesn't work with yet. The profile editing software also works great. The game pad makes playing games so much better than using the keyboard and mouse at the same time, with 20 different programmable buttons {You do need to change the POV pad from a 4 way to a 8 way in the profile editor but that is really easy to do} plus the two joysticks this game pad has everything you need all in one really nice feeling controller. Considering that other people are having issues with this item I would add that you need to install the drivers and SST {Profile editor} software according to how the instructions on the disk that accompanies the game pad tells you to, put the disk in and follow the instructions before you plug in the game pad, it's really in the middle of the installation process when it instructs you to plug in the "controller that you want to update". Other than that it should work as well for you as it does for me so, Buy with confidence. Thanks Amazon.
