I've owned a Pro Gamer Command Unit (Cyborg) since 2007. My husband tried it and discarded it. I couldn't use it because I was on a Mac then and they don't provide Mac support. Switched to a PC for gaming and thought I'd give it a spin. There are Vista 64-bit drivers and software, but Saitek in their great wisdom changed the file format for the game profiles and never updated the premade game profiles to be compatible. The software they provide is too complicated looking and too time consuming to mess with (I've worked in tech support since 1988, so yes, I'm computer literate) - particularly without pre-made profiles to edit and the help files are completely *unhelpful* if you want to program it for an MMO (I play WoW).
I tried signing up for their support forums back in January and again today. Every e-mail I try, even with a newly created g-mail account mind you, I'm told that the e-mail address has been banned by the administrator so I can't sign up. I've never been banned from an online forum in my life, and I certainly couldn't have offended anyone if I'd never posted before. Back in January I sent a tech support e-mail - I'm still waiting for a response. Sent another one today (it's nearly August) DARING them to show someone exists who cares - and that profiles exist for this stupid thing - but I'm not optimistic.
Logitech makes a controller these days and I can say from experience that THEY have great tech support. If I were you, I'd give their controller a look and Saitek's a pass. The only reason I won't is because none of the local stores have one on display for me to play with and I have small hands. As the Saitek is the second controller bought for my household that sat and gathered dust (we had a Nostromo and we didn't like it either), I'm just going to have to "old school" it.

If i built a cyborg, i definitely wouldnt use cheap plastics. Although the fancy colors are nice on picture they remind of me of some bad disco videos ive seen on VH1. It didnt install well either, after the first couple times trying to install it and it crapping out in the middle of installation i junked it, yet again increasing my carbon footprint.......
I had a stroke and it took my right side away, I love to play computer games so my job became finding a good way to do it. Three controllers fit into my plans Saitek Cyborg Command Unit, Belkin n52te, and Logitech G13. The Logitech is truly a great unit and there forum is fantastic ([...]) and the Belkin n52te is a close second. There both laid out excellently and are comfortable to use. The Saitek is half the price of the other two is laid out well but is not as robust.
The Saitek does one thing that the other two do not; it mimics the mouse movements to a tee. I bought it.

I purchased Cyborg Command Unit to replace my aged Nostromo N52 for my new-built computer back in May 2008. I found that this device was superior to N52 with more soft buttons, mini joystick instead of old-time D-pad, and good performance. I used it on FPS PC games such as Oblivion, Star Wars Battlefront II, Orange Box, and GTAIV for many times. However, profile software is not friendly as N52's. It required fairly learning curve to create profiles. Unlike N52 software, I have to launch the profile manually before start game. So I used third-party gaming profile software instead for better features.
Only reasons I gave this device two stars are that device started to malfunction after 8-10 months of gaming. I been emailed tech support for days, asking for a replacement as Saitek's 1-year warranty said, yet I got no response from them after I sent last email. I was so angry with them for not sent me a replacement. Same to official forum, I registered for help but not able to log in without administrator permit and got my account deleted twice!
I never purchasing other device from Saitek again after troubles I was through with.......
My main complaint about this controller is that when a key is pushed to move my player, regardless of direction, it will continue to drift after the key has been released and will only stop after another key is depressed. This is completely unexceptable. I've been using it for about six months now and am fed up. I think it's high time to purchase a Belkin unit. ......
