Good and stable, but "laggy" controls

This helicopter is good, don't get me wrong, but compared to my favorite (the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Coast-Guard-Rescue-RC-3-5CH-Gyro-Helicopter-Mini-Infrared-Remote-Controlled-SYMA-Heli-S111G/dp/B004QZR4LI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Coast Guard Rescue RC 3.5CH Gyro Helicopter Mini Infrared Remote Controlled SYMA Heli S111G</a>) it's just not as good. It's good, but not as good. I find the controls to be "laggy"--there is a noticeable delay between when I move the stick and when the helicopter responds. Maybe it's just me or the channel I'm using, but it's not nearly as responsive as the S111G.

I will start out saying this is one of the best controller i have ever seen. There is no lag in the thumb sticks and i got my off eBay kinda used. I have tested this controller on games like; God of war, uncharted, resident evil; metal gear solid, and there is no lag buttons feels great. So this has lag in thumb stick is all false will with mine it is. Plus madcatz have been good to me. I would differently by other one its just as good as the duel stock.

I bought this controller as a second for the six-axis that comes with the PS3. I wanted this to be my primary controller and "save" the six-axis for games that used the motion technology, which the Logitech does not have.
The controller is solid and well constructed. The addition of alkaline batteries makes it a bit heavy, but I like some substance when holding something. Definetly feels better in the hand than the sony controller, and the texture allows you to hold onto it when extreme gaming ensues.

Some things that can be improved:
1. The PS button is a small button and not centered like on the Sony.
2. Connects via usb, Logitech has bluetooth keyboards, why not a bluetooth controller. This would eliminate the USB dongle that keeps on flashing and gets really annoying.
3. No six-axis.
4. No rumble (granted the Sony controller does not have this either)
5. Not rechargable, uses alkaline batteries, is heavy compared to other controllers.

So, there it is. I'm sure some of the other reviews speak more detailed about the connection to the PS3 which I feel is a bit slow, but I think it may be just my imagination.

This is a very solid controller that is worth the price tag...

 BUT...

There are some little things that will nag at your brain.
1) The grip stance on this is a little shallower than the original Gabecube pad.
This is a good thing in general for hitting those top shoulder buttons, but doesn't feel as ergonomically satisfying as the original.

2) Couple this with the fact that retro titles in Wii Mode register the top shoulder buttons (ZL/ZR) instead of the more comfortable and traditional L and R buttons and it feels like this controller slightly misses the mark on delivering an enjoyable game session across the board.

Something feels off with this controller (But It Maybe Just Me). It's comfortable and feels solid. But I wonder if the response time is lagging. Still a nice gamepad.

This thing takes a long time to set up with every game simply because there are so many options in steam's big picture mode, but that effort can pay off when you're playing one suited for it. In my experience it's terrible for first person games; the right touch-pad can't make up for the absence of a thumb-stick, but it excels at 2D and third person games with difficult control schemes. You can multi-map the same button over and over again, which truly customizes your experience.

I'm playing Darkest Dungeon, and it relies on the left thumb-stick for 50% of everything you do, which obviously wears the player out, but with the extra buttons and multi-mapping available here, I have a better controller experience in some ways. Valve chose to give players 2 extra buttons on the back side, which is probably why the controller is angled down from the handles instead of angled up like play-station and Xbox controllers, and with that comes a mixed bag. I absolutely do use those extra buttons every time I play, but the controller feels uncomfortable at times.

Valve seems dedicated to the big picture mode for steam and you will need that to make this controller work. The locations of the A, X, Y and B buttons are... admittedly terrible... so be prepared to use the extra buttons on the back to adapt to this.

While playing Ori and the Blind Forest, a game that is mostly jumping and shooting, I decided to dedicate all of the buttons on the left side of the controller to attacking and the ones on the right to jumping, including both touch-pads, and here I have a vastly improved experience when it comes to fatigue. The best way to use this thing is to find something it can do instead of trying to force something it can't. It has a lot of easily accessible buttons and big touch-pads, so it's best to create unusual button combinations and locations based on what it feels like what you need in the game.

Good but crashes sometimes, even when using it for basic features

I've used this controller in several games now, including first-person shooters, real-time strategy, and third-person MMOGs, and while it offers some excellent features for each, it's not without its drawbacks.

The first thing you'll likely notice is the key actions; they're much stiffer than on most keyboards, and require a bit more effort to trigger than you might be used to.  Unless you're on a rock steady surface (i.e. not your lap), this can lead to the pad registering a 'double tap', often problematic.  Even with the handrest adjustment, there's limited access to multiple keys at once.  The thumb bar, in particular, makes you move your hand in such a way that the other keys are difficult to get to.  It definitely takes getting used to; it'll probably take you an hour or so of tweaking to find a key setup you like, and another few hours to get used to it such that its as second nature as your keyboard is.

So that's the bad.  Here's the good.  Once you have a good key setup and get used to the stiffness of the keys, it's definitely a large step above a normal keyboard, both in speed and ergonomic.  You have everything right at your fingertips, and never have to glance away from the screen to see where that key you need is.  The setup program for defining bindings is extremely user-friendly and intuitive, and makes swapping between different sets of bindings very quick and painless.

And then there's the macros.  Oh yes.  This is where the gamepad really has a leg up on everything else.  Using the same quick and easy binding editor, you can set up a huge list of commands to be fired off with a single button press.  Timings can be established (i.e. press C, wait 2.2 seconds, press D, wait 0.05 seconds, press E), and I have yet to hit a functional limit to the length of a macro you can record.  Plus, while the macro is firing, you can be doing something else.  It's insanely handy, especially for RTS and MMO games, and becomes more and more useful the more you play with it.  If you're a competetive player, you might not want to use it for the simple reason that it's easy to become dependent on it.  It's a hardware advantage, not a skill one, so ethically maybe a little fuzzy also.

Bottom line: a bit of setup time required to define keybindings, and a bit of a learning curve for basic use, but once you get past that, it's an excellent controller.

I got this for use with my Steam Link. It feels good in my hand, although not as good as the G402, but still a nice feel. The 5-button setup is easy to use. The mouse-wheel is a bit flimsy and middle-clicking is very finicky; it seems like you need to press down towards you to get it to work well and, even then, it only works some of the time. The default mouse-speed is very, very low, so you might want to download the SetPoint software to adjust this if you like having a fast-moving mouse cursor.

I had to buy some third-party software (VirtualHere) for this wireless mouse to be able to use Logitech's SetPoint software with the Steam Link. This isn't the fault of Logitech, but an issue with Valve's Steam Link.

A great and flamboyant controller. It does however have sensitivity problems when it comes to the analog sticks. You'll easily find yourself straining to perform the most tediously microscopic thumb movements to aim properly at moving targets in any game that has aimed ranged attacks. I don't find this problem very noticeable most of the time, but sometimes it outright enrages me.

Awesome little controller. Kind of a pain to get it to connect to my phone. It never seems to automatically connect. But the response is pretty good except for the R2 and L2. You have to push pretty hard for them to register. Having clickable thumbsticks for R3 and L3 would have been a nice feature.

I love the flexability it has for different profiles per game. I will say that it takes a learning curve to get used to it though, coming from an Xb_x 360 controller. It is definitely growing on me though

I've owned the controller for just over a month now. I've played roughly 30 hours of Rocket League and about 10 hours of The Witcher 3 with the controller. I have my PC hooked up physically via an HDMI cable to a 42 inch TV in the living room. I previously used a wired X-box 360 controller while sitting on a la-z-boy chair.

Some thoughts:

Pros:
-The dual-stage triggers and grip buttons are a massive improvement compared to a 360 controller
-The right track pad is great for a kind of "mouse-look" in The Witcher 3
-Using it as a desktop mouse for light internet browsing is great (especially the haptic feedback as you roll your left thumb in a circle to scroll)
-A benefit I didn't expect was is how great it is for things like the Windows 10 Plex and Netflix apps
-Big picture mode - which you have to use - is actually pretty slick (as is changing a controller config in-game)
-Not many games have native support but many games do have recommended configurations that you can start with and community configurations that are popular because the cream rises to the top

Cons:
-Expect to tinker with the settings for the first hour or so in any new game (frustrating if you want to just jump right in!)
-I hated it at first because it took me about 5-6 hours to adjust to the position and reduced size of the XABY buttons, but once I got used to it, its fine (not really a con now, but you should expect to feel this when you start using it)

Neutral:
-I haven't seriously used the gyroscope yet, but I can definitely see the potential

In conclusion, once you get over the initial learning curve, it is an excellent controller. It has replaced my x-box 360 controller. I don't have any regrets in purchasing this controller.

If you need a good reliable controller, get this one - the only thing is that it feels strange to me. The buttons (R1 and L1) are sometimes hard to push. It is good if this is the style you like/are used to. It didn't work for me sine I am just not used to the type of controller.

I only bought this controller, is so I can play some rpg games. they work really great!
I'm finally able to try to relax on my crappy chair.
But I wouldn't recommend this to people who only want to play fps. The analog sticks have a huge dead zone.

EDIT: Left & Right Bumpers are messed up. When clicked once, they activate twice.

I purchased this wheel specifically for use with a Playstation 3. There are two limitations with the PS3, since this was a PS2-specific design. First, the connection is USB-based, not wireless. The supplied cable is plenty long enough for my setup, though. Second, no PS button, meaning I have to have the SixAxis controller nearby for exiting the game, etc. All other controls are present and well-designed.

On the whole, I like the pedal setup just fine; it stays put, is easy enough to use, and having the ability to apply half or three-quarters throttle, rather than having to tap the controller button on-off-on-off to simulate that works very nicely. I have to downcheck the unit one star for the lack of reliability in the pedals, though. Mine failed after three days: the gas would cut off for no apparent reason, and the brakes would apply themselves randomly. Not a good trait when driving at a virtual 180 mph. :-) Amazon promptly replaced the unit, and so far, no problems with the new one, but a search on the internet reveals that many people have experienced similar problems, and applied various kludges to fix them.

Touch and control with the wheel is spectacular in the 900 degree mode (supported on the PS3 in GT5 HD Concept, and presumably in the full game when it ships). Less stellar in 200 degree mode (supported, for example, by Ridge Racer 7), but still quite usable. The force feedback and rumble work well. This would be a five-star product but for the questionable quality-control or design issue with the pedals.

I bought this controller with high hopes and I love it very much!

COSMETICS:

The controller fits lovely in my hands, my thumbs naturally fall on the SNES part (D-Pad + 4 colored buttons). While my Index fingers fall right in the middle between the shoulder and trigger. Plus, the controller is smudge proof, because of the rough finish (Identical to the GameCube controller plastic).

BUTTONS:

They are firm and have a nice bounce back. In addition the buttons DO NOT wiggle around in the their home. Except the shoulder buttons, they wiggle slightly. The Joy sticks rub along the rim of the housing and have a nice click when pressed, plus they are a bit stiff when brand new. I would say about 300 full rotations will break in the stiffness. oh, and the buttons between the D-Pad & Main buttons are a second set of Start and Select buttons which are awesome when you don't want to reach far away to pause and have a hard (rubbery/plasticity) feel to them. Finally, The buttons are very responsive and have no noticeable latency issues

MODES:

The controller offers two switchable modes. (Wiimote Plus and Classic PRO). I tested Nintendo Land, Yoshi's Story, NSMBU, Nano Assault Neo, and COD:BO2. All of which work. Although I could not get ZombiU (MYP), Ninja Gaiden 3 to register my controller as a pro controller or a Wiimote/nunchuk.

The Yoshi's Story was on my Wii and work like magic. (For the Wii backwards capabilities w/ No latency issues either)

Next, I found out that I could play the Zelda game on Nintendo land (Which requires Wiimote Plus)The controller was very accurate with the twists and turns of my input. Also the B & A buttons works as they should. Finally with Nintendo Land, the Pro U is way better that the Wiimote in terms of movement with the multiplier games. *note there is a switch that is for the "wiimote to be played sideways" click it and the WIIU/WII thinks that your controller is now horizontal! (for like Mario chase)

Finaly, I would recommend This controller for all games that support the attachable Classic pro (not the stand alone Pro controller). This controllers solves about 90% of Nintendo's controller issues! It plays Wii games, most WiiU games and ALL Wii/Ware games!
