I use this gamepad for most of my PC gaming. I have not experienced any issues that others have written about. Range is fine. I'm not across the room, but am maybe three to four feet from the receiver with the gamepad. I am not a fan of vibrating gamepads, so the Logitech, which I was considering buying, was out of the choice. I want a wireless controller with enough buttons to play any and all games. I've got two Saitek pads (one wired, one wireless) and their flight simulator joystick pack. I also own one of their keyboards. I once bought a much earlier version of their wireless gamepad with a rechargeable battery and that was a dud. They sent me a new battery, which went bad in a couple of weeks too. Other than that, I've had nothing but good products from Saitek and have not purchased Logitech controllers. My mouse is a wireless Logitech and it is excellent. Got what I paid for, and not cheap either. I am looking toward getting another wireless pad so we can play three players. Maybe I'll get a fourth? Let the family fun begin. Yay!!......
I use this to play console emulators on my desk top. The software that is included makes mapping the buttons for different systems/games easy. I do feel that interface could be a little more user friendly. There are time at certain angles that it looses signal but that is to be expected from this type of wireless device. Overall this is a good gamepad especially for the price.......
It looks and feels nice. You won't have any problems navigating around any screen with this. But when it comes down to playing simulation games this pad is useless.
This is my first wireless game pad and will be my last. Playing a soccer game for example, every touch is vital. But with this, it cannot receive every push. Even when you have the gamepad right next to the wireless adaptor it won't be able to receive every signal.
It's not too bad, but it has denied me a few classic goals which can be very fustrating. As a recommendation, don't buy a wireless gamepad for a few years until they are flawless. It will let you down.......
I bought this joystick because I really wanted a wireless gamepad with 4 shoulder buttons and 6 side buttons. This one really seemed to be the only choice.
However, there are some serious problems with it. The USB dongle takes up a lot of power, which means it doesn't work on many of the USB splitters/hubs on the market. I have 2 wireless mice connected to my Monitor USB ports, and they work fine, but Saitek engineering just doesn't seem to know how to do that.
I called Tech suppport to see what was going on and Saitek recommends that you plug it in the back of the computer. However, the signal for this thing is just plain awful. You pretty much need to be within 3 feet of the signal and have a clear line of sight. So unless you turn your computer around, plugging it in directly doesn't really help.
I finally got this partially working by adding a powered USB hub with this one joypad as the sole thing connected to it - and sticking that right on my desk. Now my signal is still bad, with stuck buttons a good 1/3 of the time, but this is the best that I could make it. I should note, that it took 3 different hubs before I found one that did even this. ......
I bought this after buying the wired version (P990) because I was pretty impressed with the P990.
I bought the P2900 x1 and P990 x3 for emulation (there I said it). They work great and due to the generic layout they work well for almost any emulation you want to do from NES up through N64. There are enough buttons to go around and you can setup the buttons to near perfect alignment to the original emulated system.
Overall a great controller... but I do have a few wishes that would bring this to a "pefect buy".
--would love to see some "triggers" under the 4 shoulders
--would like to see 2 buttons placed near the center to emulate "star/select"
--really wish they would put rumble/force feedback into the controller no matter what and simply give me an "on/off" switch to choose if I want to run my batteries down or not.
--Lastly... the analog sticks, although nice... feel a bit too much like plastic, if they'd upgrade the analogs there'd really be something special about this controller.
If you want a controller that has a little "more" than all those other PS2 controller clones, then you can't go wrong between the P990 or P2900... enjoy.......
