They Break after about a year

After about a year of using it, the d-pad starts to stick and break. This renders the controller useless. If you need something cheap for emulator play, then get this; but if you want to use it for fighting games, get something sturdier.

awesome

i bought 3 of these; one for me and two for two of my friends. each one works great. The buttons are perfectly responsive and the D pad feels very similar to the old Nintendo/SuperNES/Sega controllers. Perfect controller for emulators. The only problem so far is that I cannot get it to work on any Mac emulators. I'm sure that this isn't a problem with the controller though. Anybody know how to make it work on a Mac??

Great Gamepad

It's a great gamepad for the price. Works great, lightweight and easy to store anywhere. Pretty sturdy too. feels like a playstation gamepad. FOr the price you can't go wrong with this one.

works great

I bought this controller becouse i play alot of the nes, snes, sega roms on my pc. It works great, just plung in and its ready. Alot of new games require the duel shock controll with the two joy sticks. This is the only thing this controll does not do. Otherwise logitech got it right. thanks overstock!

Good but...

This is a good gamepad but in light of many games using analog sticks, it isn't always the best option. Madden, of instance, uses an analog stick for tackles and since you can't turn it off, your defensive player is always face down in the turf even when no one is around. I haven't tried it out with to many other games yet so I don't know how it will fare across my collection of games. It is a good little gamepad but don't expect it to work perfectly with every game.

Perfect

If you need a cheap PC controller to play systems on emulators like NES or SNES, then this is perfect. The buttons respond perfectly. The D-pad isn't perfect, but it's excellent. There's nothing wrong with this at all.

Get it.

Cheap, solid, works well

Like many others here, I use this gamepad for emulators. I am pleasantly surprised by the compatibility - it works with every emulator I've tried it with (MAME, SNES9x, Nester, Gens, VColeco, Stella). There are no drivers to install if you own Windows XP - detection is flawless.

The button action is good enough to accurately simulate the feel of, say, an SNES controller or a NES controller. The d-pad is just slightly inferior to those original controllers' pads, but only ever so (no one has truly gotten it right since the big N did in those days). The buttons have enough of a digital click to them, without going overboard. They strike a great balance between click and mushiness.

This gamepad is shaped comfortably, like a PS2 pad minus the dual analog sticks. While it is light, it is not flimsy - squeezing and twisting your hands on the plastic produces very little "give" on the thick plastic parts.

I also like the pad aesthetically. The dark blue plastic is handsome and the shape is  more
