Reviews of Logitech Dual Action Game Pad USB

Customer Ratings:

I want to make this review rather short. First, it's an easy to install Gamepad and looks very promising. You have the easy PS2 feel, dual-analog control pads, and a comfortable fit. You can install the drivers or not. It doesn't really make a difference because Windows will recognize it.

The problem with this Gamepad is that it is not very durable. I bought and tested this controller with MVP Baseball 2005 & Need for Speed Underground 2. What happened is, I had to take the controller back 3 times to have it replaced because the analog sticks would give out or get stuck in a certain postion. Now, in MVP Baseball, for example, you need the right stick to dive/slide with. Well, the analog stick stuck to the right in 2 of them I tried, so that ends up leaving you to have automatic fielding because you can't get to the ball when the player is diving for no reason. With Need for Speed, I found that the 1 controller where the left analog stick went out, the cars were just out of control.

There are many reviews online as I have found that confirm that Logitech never addressed this controllers issues. Even Tech. Support kept telling me I had just bought a bad controller when I called them on each one.

Be aware, once the analog stick goes, whether it is 2 days or 2 months, you can't calibrate it. The GamePad is useless. I would suggest you go with Nyko's AirFlo Gamepad instead. I've had no problems with that one.

Just like what everybody is saying, but it doesn't seem that severe to me though. Played NFS: Underground and Prince of Persia with it, when you constantly move the analog button, you won't feel any difference. It is only when you let go off the button and suddenly your guy started to walk by itself! Pity pity, it could be the perfect gamepad out there that resembles PlayStation gamepad...

I bought 2 and both have the same major problem. Both have the analog stick calibration drift problem, which is widespread and well-documented online (check out the logitech web site user forums). Unfortunately, Logitech is totally ignoring the problem despite a tremendous amount of complaints (presumably because it is a unpatchable hardware problem). I am also upset with EA for endorsing it for MVP Baseball 2004. I replaced it with the comparable Saitek P880, which has worked well for me so far.

Honest reviews on Logitech Dual Action Game Pad USB

I bought this gamepad over two years ago now, and it's still working perfectly. Both analog sticks still work, all button still work, and nothing's come loose or scrapped or otherwise. And I use this gamepad quite frequently on TrackMania, NHL, and other games.

Though I must warn you of one little bug: the Logitech drivers are awful. DO NOT INSTALL THEM. After a year of using the Logitech drivers myself, the controller started going crazy, showing button presses and analog movement when I hadn't done anything. Uninstalling the Logitech drivers and reverting to the regular old Windows plug-and-play drivers solved the issue. Hope that helps all you people posting bad reviews. ;-)

Ok heres the lowdown, I don't know what came over the designers of these new game pads, but I havent purchased a recently made controller yet with a high quality d-pad. Which brings me to this controller, which suffers from the same issue as the rest. If you are buying this controller to play any game on your computer that require you to use your d-pad forget about it. The action is delayed and finicky. The d-pad sticks and cuts down on the percision in your gameplay. Bottom line, it sucks Im returning it. Im going to search for a controller made a couple years ago when, for some reason, computer controller makers knew how to make d-pads. If I could give this controller 0 stars I would.
