steelseries 69001 3G Game Controller

Pros: Feels solid.

Cons: Driver download and setup did not work for Win7 64 Pro, even after trying compatibility Troubleshooter. Doesn't recognize the buttons for what they are. Rediculously hard to setup most games to use it effectively. Support site gets you running around to absolutely nowhere. Support for this device absolutely sucks. Will never deal with them again. Worst 20 bucks I have ever spent.

Pros: Easy to use, comfortable to hold, all the buttons I need.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I was surprised for the price the quality of controller I received. I have found emulators and game on both Windows 7 and Linux work extremely well. If your on a budget pick this up worth every penny.

Pros: -Cheap
-Comfortable in my hands

Cons: -Windows does not recognise controller
-Drivers don't work
-No support from Steelseries
-D-Pad is ONE BUTTON

Other Thoughts: Bought this from Gamestop with a gift card since I needed a controller for my PC, brought it home, downloaded the drivers from their website, and it didn't work. Scoured the internet for hours, trying every other solution that was suggested, most pulled from forum threads where others were experiencing the same problem, and none of those fixes worked, either. It seems that the majority of people agree that this thing is useless, other than a select few who have managed to get it to work without running into any trouble.

Summary: doesn't work at all with Windows 7.

Pros: Shipping was quick (arrived in 1 day)

Cons: Opened the package and found that the left joystick was broken.

I expect a lot better from steelseries.

Pros: The controller itself works fine. It's responsive and works great with emulators and PC games. Feels very sturdy and well-built.

Cons: The D-Pad can be annoying. It's too clunky. It's basically round and sort of sits on one button, so it's way to easy to accidentally go diagonal instead of straight up or down. This can be really frustrating when it means falling off a cliff.

Pros: For the most part, a very sound controller. Feels durable.

Cons: 1) The right joystick controller stays in position when I use it. It is supposed to return to the center position, but one of them does not do that. I put some Labelle oil on it and now it returns sometimes. Simply a design flaw.
2) Compatibility with games is poor. Had to spend an extra $10 on a joystick emulator and profiler just to get the control to aim and look around. Normally you would use the mouse for this function. Just better off buying the X-box controller, as it seems to be a plug and play, not play and pay.

Other Thoughts: It would be a good control if not for the design flaws.

Pros: PS2 style, 12 buttons, feels solid and strong.

Cons: More of not my style, but the thumb sticks are really high compared to a typical PS2 controller.

Other Thoughts: "All buttons can be customized and programmed according to the user's needs."

This is listed on the box but this is not the case. You need some sort of software to program buttons and all you get with this controller is basic drivers so Windows can detect it. This is the reason I bought this controller so I can program buttons like a typical Logitech or Saitek controller but you cant.

Pros: -Compatible with Windows 7 x64
-Drivers enable rumble feature
-Works as advertised

Cons: -Analog sticks can be a bit sensitive in PCSX2 emulator
-Personally not a fan of the one piece D-Pad
-Non pressure sensitive L2/R2

Other Thoughts: It works well.

Pros: Feel, quality, durability and turbo button

Cons: none

Pros: I got this over at Gamestop today and so far so good.

1: analog sticks not a square
2: Vibration is not that strong which may be a con for most but if you using this on a computer do you really want it to fall of the desk?
3: Work great on final fantasy xi which i got it for. Everything work.

Cons: The D-pad could use some more Work.
S'H cost more then Tax if you buy it off gamestop

Just got it today i do other review in 1month

Other Thoughts: You need to download the divers off there website to use the Vibration for FFXI is you getting this for it.

Remember that all game may not have Vibration or would work for Vibration..

Gamestop only had one so i buying one off Newegg. Which would cost me 6$ more with S/H but not a bad thing i guess.

For now 4egg
