does it comes with its own gamepad software?

Yes, and I was wrong about the functionality. All I had to do was press the analog button in the center. I came upon it, though. There are no instructions or any resources of any kind to be found

I do not know. As I have a same gamepad long ago (which I bought with $4), the driver has already been installed to my PC. So I can use this one directly without installing the driver.

Yeah,it installs some crazyness automatically..i think it was auto,don't remember. key mapping n such,but it crashes when you even just click on the vibration settings.

I didn't look at the provided mini-CD, which I assume has the device drivers for Windows XP or earlier, because I don't have a DVD drive on my system and I've thrown out the CD. Someone else might be able to help you with that. There are a few free ones around the Internet, like joy2key, but I haven't used them personally. The MAME emulator seems to pick up and use the game controller just fine without them. I also only have a small number of PC games, but they either use XBox controller or can use the built-in Windows driver directly.

yes it did, the build quality on this controller was less than par. I'm upset with the D pad not functioning as it should I wish I would have purchased the OEM product

Yes it does. Just load up the virtual Wii menu, and it will show up in the "Launch Disc Software" area.

it is not required for any game. however it is really comfortable, and really light. The battery also lasts about 80 hours between recharges. it really is a great controller, but i usually use the Gamepad.

No, but you can get X-Mouse Button Control from download. It's free!! It's great too

Not sure about the gamepad, but, the setup will support it and it also requires an online steam account . Hope This was helpful.

Yes it does. I'm using it with a X-10 PalmPad controller. To use, hold down the button on the front of the OutletLinc until it blinks (program mode) then send an X10 signal three times to the OutletLinc. I sent the signal via the PalmPad.

No. Even though it supports it you can play it with just a regular controller.

It comes with a disc with the drivers. Also I used google to find generic controller drivers for my other computer that doesn't have a disc drive. Beware though, the controller only works right with a few games. I had to return it.

It does - had a nice set up for buttons. Hopefully you get one that gets through your first couple of days gaming.

With 3rd party software that maps joystick buttons to keyboard controls, yes. Emulator users find such software very useful, but I cannot give specific recommendations. Free (as in beer) options abound. A couple paid but affordable. Some may be open source, but again I can't offer any specific recommendations.

Hey Thomas, are you currently using this gamepad on windows 8.1? Are you having any issues with that?

Only when connected by USB. It doesn't work with all games and obviously the TouchPad won't work either.

I don't believe it does, but it seems to work well with the software it came with.

Yes it does. This device makes your controllers show up just like any joystick would, so it works on anything from XP to Win8, and with any software that has joystick support.

Indeed it does. Download the drivers from microsoft, they are newer than the version on the included CD.If you by the xpadder program you can use the controller as a Mouse or with old programs as well.
