Introduction

Well this should be a familiar sight for most of us gamer geeks. Logitech's wireless Rumblepad 2 bears more than a passing resemblance to the ubiquitous stock PlayStation controller. Of course this is what they are aiming for, taking the comfort and familiarity of the console gaming pad and coupling it with a desktop computer. And with the added features of force feedback and wireless connectivity, you'll never know that you have stepped away from your PS2.

But, unlike the stock PlayStation controller, the Logitech Rumblepad 2 carries with it a larger range of programmability and functionality. With the included programming software, you can designate X and Y axis control and sensitivity, assign specific button functions and even load pre-made game profiles for your game pad. It's even compatible with Macs! But will it capture the essence of console gaming on a PC?

The wired version has Feedback, too. I have bought it a few days ago at the german Amazon homepage (http://www.amazon.de) and fully agree with the review:

The controller is absolutely accurate, well-manufactured and with the profiler easy to use. For sports games like the Fifa series (very famous soccer simulation in Europe) there exists no better gamepad.

P.S.: The wired version is even a bit lighter in weight, than the cordless version because of the lack of batteries.

I'm very please with the wired version I have, the only fault is more games should make use of it.

Great hoystick, specially for PES games ! I am playing PES 2009 with this baby and it work incredibly GREAT.
Drivers re not needed, Windows recognized it the moment I pluged the receptor.
This is a must-have !

PS: of course I wouldt recomend ANY joystick for a FPS game....mouse+keybord still rule that world !
