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.

Kensington/Gravis Gamepad Pro (USB) - 42111 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I commend Gravis, I must thank sony for making such a great playstation controller. And thank you gravis for making the same controller for the pc. Although the controller is small, it fits perfectly in my hand. The is an 8 Axis control pad on the left, select and start buttons in the middle and 4 buttons on the right. At the top there are 4 more button. Another great thing about the controller is that the buttons are not mushy. You can press the easily not like the real playstation controller. The manual has instructions and troubleshooting techniques for installing in different languages. The keyset program, Xperience is bundled on the CD with documentation for that software on the CD. Although a little tricky to program, the keyset software works great. So if you have a playstation or you play alot of playstation games and you need a pad for the PC, this is definitaly for you. For everyone else, its a great cost effective pad. Also, some games like Fifa 2000 would us the same button setup like on the playstation if you use this pad.

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.

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.
