Intel Wireless Series Gamepad Accessory Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This item is a great idea, however it does not install on windows
xp professional, even though the intel faq says it does. The intel customer support says that there are major problmes with the mouse, keyboard and gamepad (they only list the minor problems on there compatibility faq)), they dont bother to tell you that they do not work at all on many peoples xp professional
However if you have 98,me,xp home, or 2000 professional(wow 2000 pro and not xp pro) then buy this product, it is an awesome gamepad and can function as a mouse that doesnt even need a surface to use.

The new Intel Wireless Series gamepad accessory unleashes gaming action with its wireless operation, customizable controls, and profile sharing. It has a sleek, comfortable design that fits perfectly in your hands for hours of wire-free winning. The Gamepad works with the 900 MHz Intel Wireless Series Base Station (sold separately) and boasts a nine-foot range that doesn't require a direct line of sight to the base station or the PC.
Intel's wireless gamepad features eight buttons, two triggers, one shift button, and an ultraresponsive D-pad. You can customize it by assigning up to 28 different moves or profiles to any the control buttons. The wireless gamepad can be used as a mouse for any program on your computer or even for surfing the Web. It has a liquid-crystal display showing player number, as well as low battery power. This gives you a quick and simple way to keep you from losing control in the heat of battle and also indicates whether you're in mouse mode.
The gamepad comes with Intel's Game Profile Editor and Profile Activator for creating and managing profiles for the gamepad. You can scroll through or print the list of default and customized profiles stored on the computer to find the one that works best for you. The same profile can be even assigned to multiple Intel Wireless Series gamepads connected to the same computer. The gamepad software also includes profiles for 50 popular games, and more can be downloaded from the Intel Profile Exchange Web site.
The gamepad is compatible with PCs only and requires the Intel Wireless Series Base Station (sold separately), Windows 98, 98SE, Me, a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and a USB port. Intel provides a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Genius MaxFire G-08XU, PC gamepad. 8-Button USB Game Controller for PC.. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's no secret that this gamepad does NOT really look anything like the controllers used for the old consoles, (NES, SNES, etc.)
That said - this is a GREAT, affordable game controller for the classics. This controller feels quite solid even though it is SUPER-light weight. The buttons (including the D-pad) are very responsive. The D-pad is the directional control pad on the controller by the way.
The only slight flaw to this controller can be EASILY overcome with some thought. See, this controller has NO designated start and select buttons. I simply assigned two of the trigger keys on the top of the controller to act as the start and select keys inside my emulator's settings. Works perfect for me!
In conclusion - this is NOT AT ALL for serious (modern) gamers. It does NOT have force feedback, dual shock, or any of those (worthless to me) features. But if you are looking for a comfortable, easy-to-use controller for your classic games and emulators, but don't want to pay big money for the modified authentic controllers out there - BUY AT LEAST A COUPLE OF THESE great little works of affordable tech.
By the way - I OWN legal copies of ALL of the games that I play using emulators. I just can't get the consoles to work any more after YEARS of extensive game play.

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

Average Reviews:

(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.

Cyber Snipa Game Pad V2 Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like many of you, I have been using a regular keyboard for years ever since games required you to use the arrow keys. Playing COD, many people are good just using the keyboard, but I wanted an edge. I got this gamepad after trying the wolf king gamepad. That thing is too big and too many buttons to use. So I returned it and got this one.
The best thing about this game pad is there is no software required and Windows recognizes like nothing else. All the buttons are programmable within the game(s). There are 2 side buttons that when pressed have a blue lcd lights shining. These are mainly for show as the ganepad does not have back lit key lighting. The WASD keys are big. The one difference you will notice is that the keys on the keyboard and the buttons on the game pad. Since the the keyboard's keys are all the same size and the game pad have a bigger WASD, you may have to re customize some of the keys within your game...I normally use (when using a keyboard) the c to crouch. I changed that to the X for the gamepad and got used to it very quicky.
Another great feature is the wrist pad that is attached. It helps with long sessions of gaming. The only thing bad I can say is that after 3 days the lights started going out on the game pad. Cyber Snipa has a great policy from the date of purchase you have 1 year and they will replace it. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement. The one had the lights working, but then 1 light on the side would not work...No big deal, but I contacted them again and they sent me a new one...The new one had the lights working, but when plugged into the usb and turning on the pc, it would not boot up all the way and I had to unplug the game pad for the pc to boot up and plug in the gamepad back in. That was annoying. So I sent back the 2 I received and kept the original...
Pros....best thing ever.
Will take about a week to get used to, but then you will not be able to go back to a normal keyboard...Trust me this is a major plus.
Great wrist pad
Buttons feel natural
Cons....Lights may go out
If you want the edge and people who used to beat you all the time start to question you and even accuse of you cheating (which I take as a compliment), don't hesitate, get this, you will not be sorry.
