Product Description

Still using a standard gamepad? Then you're missing out on a whole extra dimension in gaming: vibration feedback. Grab the Logitech Rumblepad 2 Vibration Feedback Gamepad and feel what you've been missing. It uses not one but two vibration feedback motors, weighted differently and spinning independently, to let you experience every turn, bump, dip, and crash. And it feels great in your hands with its familiar button layout and all the controls you need to dominate.

Controller very good, game not! - Abdulla Zawawi, Jul 28, 2008

I got this controller to use it with the orange box games. Well, portal didn't id the controller keys and half-life has too many orders to put on the controllers.

Absolutely Awful - Jamey L. Smith, Jun 28, 2008

This controler is terrible for a number of reasons. I find it to be overpriced for the amount of quality that it has to offer. My friend bought me this controller some time ago and the d-pad broke after about a month. Compare this to one of the slim clear blue PC controllers that logitech sells for about $10. Those controllers lasted me about a year before breaking!

Now, if you just need something to play emulators on, then I would suggest getting the smaller $10 logitech controllers. They are CHEAP and durable for the price that you can get them for. Great value! But if you're like me and want a controller to use for serious fighting games, then this is not the answer. The D-pad sticks too easily and eventually stops working. Avoid this controller because there are small, lighter, cheaper, more durable alternatives.

Great gamepad! - Frank Garabo, Jun 23, 2008

Rumblepad 2 Gamepad PC
Excellent gamepad to use with Lego Star Wars2: The Original Trilogy and Star Wars LEGO 1:The Video Game. Identical with the XBOX 360 version except it does not have the lights to indicate if you are player 1 or 2. Also, the PC version of these games does not provide vibration feedback, so the Dual Action Controller is less expensive and is identical to the Rubmblepad without the vibration. Both games will suport two controllers and require remapping the keyboard controls to the gamepad which is very easy to accomplish (assuming you know which buttons are used on the XBOX version). One drawback is that the PC version uses the same button for start and pause, where the XBOX version uses separate buttons. (The logitech has both buttons, but the software restricts the mapping to the same button).

An excellent gamepad - Pierre Pavageau, May 24, 2008

This is close to the perfect gamepad. Neither too light nor too heavy (I find some Saitek too light for instance), sturdy, good vibration, holds extremely well in my hands (I have big hands, PS2 controllers are almost too small for me and I can't hold Gamecube). I have not used the force feedback yet so I can't judge that. The joysticks work really well though, and never get stuck or loose (yet, at least). All buttons answer well, the d-pad is confortable (unlike some Saitek, again)... Yep I can't find a flaw... except one minor thing : the 9 and 10 buttons shoud be in the place of the mode and vibration buttons and vice versa. But that's VERY minor. An excellent controller indeed.
