Ups and Downs
Date:July 7, 2011
At first, this product had an amazing simplicity to playing games, such as COD 4 (MW). It was to good to be true, and, as it turns out, it was. This product is extremely difficult to set up to run with other games, such as COD MW2, and requires more than the software provided (the gamepad profiler). I've spent hours trying to figure it out and still have not.
The controller has a nice feel and is much like a ps3 controller, and the build is incredible considering the low price, but none of this matters when your so busy looking up how to get it to work that you don't even get to hold it. Rather dissapointed.

The little controller that could
Date:June 23, 2011
I bought a Logitech Dual Action about, oh, six or seven years ago or so, and use it constantly. This little thing has outlasted basically any other controller I've ever owned. In fact, I bought a 360 controller recently because I thought I had lost this one - that controller's left analog stick became so jittery it was useless within a month. Don't get Gamestop brand controllers, people, Logitech is where it's at. It works perfectly to this very day; none of the buttons are sticky, the analog sticks are perfectly calibrated with no jitters, it feels just like it did the day I took it out of the box.
The only cons are that it has no rumble (it's $13, what do you expect), and that it's not a 360 controller, which means it's not automatically compatible with some Windows games. Not a problem: Just google for "360 controller emulator," it takes about 10 minutes to set up but then you can play any 360 port with this little guy. The controllers are functionally identical.
Definitely recommended for pc gamers on a budget. I dunno what people are complaining about in the reviews with not being able to get this to work - it's literally just plug and play. I would say this controller has been one of the best purchases I've ever made for how little it cost and how much use I've gotten out of it.

Best Controller Ever Bought
Date:May 27, 2011
I got my gamepad from a second hand source used and I just plugged it into my computer and it played like new.
I play on the Visual Boy Advance emulator system and have bought different controllers, many of which had annoying features, but the Dual Action Gamepad was comfortable and really got me into the game. The ability to set one of the buttons as a turbo feature was amazing. The only problem I had was that the D-pad had some difficulties with control directions, so I switched the controls to one of the analog sticks and now that problem has been fixed.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes playing games on their computer. It works great and it gives satisfaction to finally play games on the computer like you play games on everything else.

Cant just plug and play
Date:May 14, 2011
Playing various games each game calls for different controls.Trying to program all buttons is a huge problem.When you select scan for games it does not pick up current game and it freezzes between control pad and mouse use.You have to be good with a PC to understand how to use this remote.NOT user friendly

It's all bout fun
Date:March 22, 2011
I purchased the Logitech Dual Action Gamepad TM more than a month ago after doing a fair amount of research. I wanted something that would give me the experience I needed, make it fun and come at a cheap price. I fell in love with this gamepad as soon as I saw it online. I looked at other people's opinions and reviews of this product and found them to be 85% positive. A few complain that this device stops working or the joysticks cause problems. I found that the joysticks can be fixed to work as new if a little bit of manual cleaning is carried out if that case were ever to occur. As far as the product quality, it is indeed a top quality product and as long as it is handled with care, it will last quite a long time and keep you happily drifting or performing as many 360 moves as you want in any action game. Once you have this, you can't stop playing!

Great, but Cord doesn't last
Date:January 22, 2011
I remember when I first got this controller about 2 years ago. It was a great beginning to playing all my favorite old games on the go. The controller itself, is very similar to the PS2 controller, so I adapted naturally.
The only complaint I have is the cable (maybe its because I am used to wrapping the cord around the controller when I'm done with it) slowly breaks apart until the raw wires are exposed to the elements, rendering it unusable.
I'm on my 2nd controller (I bought a newer one about a year ago) and its starting to break apart like my first one.

My personal opinion is if your afraid to break the cable, like I already have, and are about to again, pitch in a little extra money for the wireless one, like I am.

Nice gamepad
Date:November 27, 2010
I like this game pad, my only complaint is that the back bumper keys(6,7,8,9) Feel a little cheap. Other than that it's very nice and can usually be set up for most games.

So, i bought this gamepad, like 2 years ago, and it still works perfectly. Well, almost perfectly.
All the games that support gamepads, supports this one, I usually play driving or simulation games with this gamepad and i've tried to play some shooters, but that's just not for me.
The only technical problem I had with this gamepad was that, sometimes analog stick doesn't go fully into X0 Y0 position (center) and is slightly off center. But when you shake the analog a bit, it fixes the problem. Otherwise this product is perfect!

One of the best gamepad in the world!!!
Date:June 23, 2010
Dont hear other bad opinions about this gamepad.
Cause this is one of the best gamepad in the world i think.
I bought it for Console styled PC games and Some emulators.
It worked like miracle.
About the prices its very cheap too compared by other gamepad with the same quality.
Its so comfortable to use for long timed gaming so ur hand never tired cause its not heavy but its powerfull.
Dont worry about the vibration fiture coz its useless and annoying for me(I always turn it off in my ps2 dualshock)

Good buttons bad thumb sticks
Date:June 22, 2010
Ok so i bought this controller from target for $20. It looked good and the description was nice. I bought this to use for battle field bad company 2 and i configured everything and it went well. As soon as i joined a game and looked around the sensitivity on the thing was crazy! I even went to options and put the sensitivity to 0 and it still felt like i was playing cod4 on 100 sensitivity. I tried it out for a while but when i tried sniping, i went crazy. trying to snip was IMPOSSIBLE. no way could i even move with precision. you move to the left slightly and it zooms off 50ft. i am so returning this thing

Six hours of my life wasted
Date:May 27, 2010
I'm a big gamer who has recently downloaded Steam for my Macintosh, and I love it. My only problem is I've been gaming with a controller my entire life, I hate using a mouse and keyboard. So I went to Target one day to look for controllers compatible with Macs, this is where I found the Logitech Dual Action Controller. It looked very promising, just like a PS3 controller, so I purchased it at $19.99. A very good deal in my opinion, because now I'd be able to play some of my games without having to hunch over my Mac's screen. My first problem was that the disk that is used to install the software for the controller couldn't be read by my Macintosh, because it wasn't a standard 120 mm disk, it was the size of a GameCube game. Then I spent 2 hours trying to install the disk onto my father's computer so I could use the CD and DVD Share feature...it was only after the two hour mark that I realized, after reading many instructions, that Mac's cannot download Logitech software, but they CAN use some Logitech products, including the Dual Action. So I plugged in the USB cable and turned on the controller, and it seemed like it would work. I logged into Steam and opened up Killing Floor, which is my only game on Steam that is controller compatible. I started to configure the controls and it seemed like it was going well, so I started a game, spawned, walked around a little...and quickly discovered I couldn't move the camera. I thought I made a mistake in the configuration so I went back to the options menu and tried to configure the camera, and discovered that the right analog stick didn't work, neither did the D-pad. So i tried some more and it still didn't work, so I packed it all up and returned it for an exchange, hoping that it was just that one controller. I brought home my new Dual Action and tried it on Killing Floor...it had the same problem for five minutes, but then it stopped working all together! Take my advice, if you only have a Macintosh, avoid this faulty piece of garbage.

easy to use/GTA4/pc
Date:April 25, 2010
Bought it to play GTA4/pc ,plugged it in and started playing.I used the software to create a profile(yawn)that took 4ever.But you don't have to do that just go to the pause menu and click on controller option. then choose your configuration.I've read some bad reviews on the durability of this unit, but if i break it i won't have a problem buying a new one. $25 it's worth it.
