Perfect for new users

I never used a game pad for PC games before, but decided to get this one. I'm very pleased. It's ergonomic and comes with a nice software program to set it up. I had to get used to its sensitivity when playing racing games, but after I adjusted to it I have no complaints. Good price and good product.

Good, solid controller

Good ergonimics. Reversible left controls, which are easily flipped out and around for either xbox control layout or ps2 control layout. PS2 like, right controls and buttons.

PC gamepads aren't in much demand as most games are played with the mouse and keyboard, but for the games that come from a console origin such as Devil May Cry 4, Madden, RPGs (like FF7 for Windows), platform games (like Mario Bros), racing games, flight shooters (like Star Fox), and others, you may feel more at home with a gamepad.

This game pad is almost an exact copy of the Xbox 360 controller. It's a bit wider, which is an improvement for my hands. The back and start buttons are designed a little different. The surfaces of the analog sticks are like the original Xbox controllers. The XYAB buttons aren't translucent. And it's wired - though the wire isn't very long (4-5 ft).

The reversible cyborg module works like a charm doesn't feel loose or cheap at all. The FPS mode is extremely fun to play with - I can use the gamepad as a mouse alone if I wanted to, though I would need tweak the sensitivity. I have it setup where I just activate a controller profile and it works exactly how I like it now. The drivers work like a charm. There are no deadzone issues either.

Things I don't like about it:
- The precision mode doesn't have a dedicated button. You must program it to one of your normal buttons to gain the feature and that button will be dedicated to precision mode alone.
- The wire is too short. It's 4-5 feet long - it severely limits cable routing options.
- D-pad is shaped awkwardly. The edge is raised too much for my liking and makes precision handling hard. The Playstation's controllers have the best D-pad in my opinion.
- The profiling software doesn't auto-activate profiles. It could've been easily made automated.

All in all, a very good gamepad for the price that blows all other gamepads available for the PC away. This includes the Xbox 360 controller for Windows and everything Logitech has to offer. Search "best PC gamepad" and see what results you get.

pretty sweet

This pad feels good in your hands. not like the standard logitech controllers where it's all small and cramped together. this one gives your hands some space while still being able to reach the buttons and joysticks comfortably. The cord is too short for my liking but i think thats the only bad thing I can say about it. The ability to switch the d-pad and analog stick is really usefull because certain games it's easier to play with the analog on top and some are better with it on the bottom. Plus my gf likes to keep the analog on top cause she got short stubby lil fingers and that makes it easier for her to play.

Take your gaming to new heights with the most adjustable gamepad in the world. Take your game to the next level with the ultimate PC gaming pad. The Saitek PP26U Cyborg Rumble Pad includes the Cyborg Module, a revolution in gaming. While some prefer the left analog stick to be level with the right stick, others prefer it offset to the top left corner of the pad. With the Cyborg Rumble Pad, you now have the choice of either position. At the press of a button, you can remove the Cyborg module from the pad and turn it through 180-degrees, instantly changing the configuration of the left stick and d-pad. You can also program any button on the pad to become a Precision button. Once programmed, pressing this button can affect the sensitivity of either of the analog sticks. Now you can take all the effort out of programming your gamepad by pressing the FPS button on the pad. This instantly programs the pad with the keyboard and mouse commands typically used in FPS games. Instead of being forced to use your keyboard and mouse for certain games, you can use the Saitek Smart Technology software to program any part of the pad with any keyboard or mouse command. This allows you to use the pad in any game, even those that don't support game controllers. Increasingly, PC games are shipping with support for Microsoft's Xbox 360 gamepad and switching the Cyborg Rumble Pad into X-Mode configures it to work in the same way.
