4 of 5 Great controller albeit a little bulky Sunday, May 18, 2008
Dustin from Atlanta, GA
This is a great wireless game pad. It is a little bulky, and it requires 4 AA batteries, but those provide power for its rumble feature and all that wireless happiness. I plugged it into my Windows Vista laptop, and I didn't have to do anything to make it work. This is truly "plug and play". I've never had issues with wireless connectivity (you don't even have to pair the controller to the receiver). It is solidly constructed, and I can't imagine anything that would break it under normal conditions. I don't have a PlayStation2 anymore, but that is the default port for the wireless radio. This controller includes a USB to PlayStation converter. I imagine you could use it for other devices, too. All in all, this is a great device with incredible value. Go get you one!

5 of 5 Unbeatable price Wednesday, April 30, 2008
RoadhouseRadio from Browns Mills, NJ
Free is a great price. Got this for my grandson. He loves it. A little heavy. Doesn't use it for all his games yet. Setup was nothing on his PS2. Have not received my rebate yet, although it's only been 3 weeks. Delivered in just 2 or 3 days. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 one word....AWESOME Wednesday, April 30, 2008
T from Philly, PA
Amazingly cool gamepad.. Very comfortable and excellent performance..
Just beat the whole God of War II with it.. Only problem i experienced was that the "Macro" button is located right under the left analog key, which gets pressed sometimes and starts recording macros. Then when certain keys don't respond, you find out that probably macro was turned on, and you have to disable macro for those key sequences.
All in all, excellent gamepad... Love it.. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Staightforward, It just works Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Danielson from South Bend IN
There is a button for setting custom key combos, a button for making any of the buttons turbo. It vibrates like a dual shock. no problem using it on either pc or ps2.
Obviously, if you are trying to play a game on your pc that doest have a joystick or gamepad option, you wont be able to use it, unless there is some way to hack it, and make it work like a mouse.
Basically, its freakin 3 dollars, and it works. what else do you need to know? Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Terrific game pad for under $5 w/ rebate Monday, April 28, 2008
Christopher S. from Springfield
This game pad is great on either the PC or PS2. It's plug & play for the PS2, but you will have to locate drivers for the PC because they don't come with it. I don't know why people are griping for though because I located them in TEN SECONDS flat using google by typing in "XFX XGear PC/PS2 Wireless Gamepad" or you can just get them from the XfX support site here:
ftp://xfxsupport.com/public/driver/1.0_XP_9x_xgear.zip
The D pad feels a tad mushy, but once you get used to the additional movement distance, it's fine. Another bonus is that it uses Immersion's proprietary vibration feedback which is awesome. There is an off switch in the back to prevent power drainage from sleep mode. Just don't forget it's there.
Overall, I'd give these pads an A. Drivers on disk would have been nice, but they're always outdated ANYWAY. Any person should know to downloaded latest drivers from websites any way. Driver disks are a waste to space, money, and the ecology. For anybody with either PC or PS2, they will likely like this controller. If you have BOTH, it's a no-brainer for under $5!

4 of 5 XFX XGear PC/PS2 Wireless Gamepad Saturday, February 02, 2008
A Gamer from Fishers, IN
I bought this gamepad for my 7 yr. old son. He loves it and says it is his favorite one. It's great to have the vibration function in a wireless controller. It's a little larger than other gamepads but doesn't seem to give him any problems. It's a great gamepad. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Nice controller for the $... Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Frank from Plainville, CT
FREE after rebate is nice, my son needed a conroller for the PC version of Resident Evil 4. This will work in Vista, as we are using it now.
You have to right-click on "setup.exe", click on the "compatibility" tab, and make it "run it in compatibility mode" for "Windows XP SP2". The install froze on me the first time, but completed on the second try.
The controller is VERY heavy compared to a standard PS2 controller, but has a nice feel from the rubber grips. Overall, a nice product from XFX. I wouldn't expect any future support from XFX, since the controller was released in 2004.
Thanks go to the poster who included the FTP site for the driver. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 The answer to button smashing. Thursday, January 10, 2008
A Gamer from Royersford, PA
This thing has a 32 key macro mode that fires off faster than my fingers could ever move. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 not bad Thursday, January 10, 2008
Rob from Hoffman Estates, IL
For a 10 dollar controller, I was a little weary. So far, it works great for my PS2. The PC use is alright. Finding the driver was a bit of a test but I finally found it. Battery life seems pretty good and the range is great. I've had much worse wireless controller for 3 times as much money. This one is not bad! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 great gamepad Thursday, January 10, 2008
A Gamer from vancouver, wa
pro- great feel. easy setup. great wireless performance.
con- documentation is weak and the buttons aren't entirely compatible w/ my madden07 pc dvd instructions, which caused me to have to figure out which buttons were which.
overall, i really enjoy the wireless gamepad and think that most people would be very happy with it. Was this review helpful?
