Interact AxisPad

THE BAD:
The only problem I've found is that the feedback option did not work for my two feedback enabled games: LOTR Return of the King and Teenage Mutant Nija Turtles. Maybe there is a patch or some option I need to change.

SUMMARY:
I have an an AMD Athlon 1.8 GHZ cpu, 768 MB of RAM and an ATI 9200 video card and the controler works great. For a video game night with some buddies, I had some guys on my TV playing Gamecube and X-Box and I had my PC running with LOTR Return of the King in co-op mode and with the AxisPad it played better than the console! I have this and a Gamepad controler which is good but does not have the analog controls.

I just picked up Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles (another great co-op game for the PC) and the AxisPad works great. Infact, I'm looking for another one for our next game night.

I did have some problems with my Indiana Jones PC game, but I went to the game's website and saw that there was a patch for game controller issues so I beleive this is a problem with the game and not the controller.

Since I see it works for Need for Speed Underground, I'm on it! : )

I really don't understand the problems others have had. After I installed the CD with the pad it worked great!

I also had no problems with calibrating the controls. Mostly I just use the default calibration.

I highly recommend this gamepad for console styled games especially co-op games.

Overall I'm very pleased with the controller. Infact I'm looking for another.

THE BAD:
Not directly remappable

SUMMARY:
All in all, i think this is one of the better controllers out there. got it at wal-mart for 15 bucks and havent been sorry. works great with all my games, and the axiss will automatically center when the drivers are initialized (like most consoles). i bought this to replace a failing gravis pad.

THE BAD:
it kinda doesn't do much for me....

SUMMARY:
I went to install drivers,, CD doesn't work!! (literally, I bought 2 controllers, and the aluminum layer on both cd's was put onto the disk wrong (all wrinkly,,) making the unreadable! I plug in, XP recognizes as generic controller, but I get no force feedback or keymappings, etc. found supposably cruddy drivers on the net, but windows won't use now,, whenever i plug it in, it goes straight to it's built in drivers :S

Is is really that hard to write decent drivers for something so simple and monitoring the position on 2 sticks, some buttons, and turing 2 motors on and off????

Reece,

THE BAD:
No way to calibrate

SUMMARY:
Once I installed the drivers that came with it (i guess that was a mistake according to the other reviews here) i couldn't couldn't calibrate it. Vibration did not work in any games, although it did in the test, and could not roll back to the built in drivers XP had no matter what. it upset me greatly since this controller looks and feels so great, and was pretty cheap, but i returned it since it is completely useless without the ability to calibrate it.

THE BAD:
it messes up your computer and requires you to reformat you whole pc!!!

SUMMARY:
this d pad was a little messy at first to setup once you installed thwe drivers you couldnt configure it then after a few minutes of screwing around with it i got it sort of working then the bad happend my sound cut out and stopped so i restarted the pc and guess what happend it started to boot u then it would start all over again non stop so the only thing i could do is reformat the pc and start all over bummer!!! but i bet you are reading this beacuase its too late it happend to you well cant say i tried to warn ya

THE BAD:
everything,,it broke my pc.

SUMMARY:
ok i go to wal-mart for a late night shoppin adventure,,well i got what i wanted ,,now my pc is fried,,i had 6 usb ports now i got 2 ,,i had a good everything now my pc runs like a snail..i am on a t1 line with a amd 64 processor ,,guess what i plugged the axis fx gamepad in my pc and it fried alot of stuff then would not trying to mess more stuff up...i am gonna make a statment to wal-mart i want a new pc or something bad will happen this is so much junk,,

THE BAD:
Maybe its just me but when might right analog stick takes on its own sence of direction i have some problems with that

SUMMARY:
Since the day I bought it I've had the same problem, every game I play the right analog stick has taken on its own personality, UP goes left down goes right and vice versa. I've tried 3 different drivers I've tried 5 different games same thing every time. Maybe the interact people had a beer party during the designing process

THE BAD:
It's name is pretty stupid.

SUMMARY:
I bought this game about 2 days ago. I installed it and tried two games with it. Those games were WWE RAW and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. The controller worked with neither of them. Can anyone please tell me what games are compatible with with AxisPadFX?

THE BAD:
The D pad is a little hard to use in the diagonal directions, but it doesn't matter since most games use the superior analog sticks.

SUMMARY:
If you guys are looking for a great gamepad for the PC, look no further than the AxisPad found at Wal-Mart for about $17. It has dual analog sticks, two pairs of L+R buttons, four action buttons on the front, and start / select buttons for 10 buttons total. And it has a directional pad. What else could anyone ask for?

I've played Crazy Taxi 3 and Virtua Tennis with the controller and everything feels just like a console, but with better graphics! The analog sticks have perfect accuracy and I like how responsive all of the buttons feel. I also hate controllers that have loose analog sticks. The sticks on this controller are very tight and go right back to their upright postions when you let go. I also like how they are made of a rubber material so they grip your thumbs but are soft at the same time. This is the only PC gamepad that feels completely comfortable in my hands.

This is also the first controller I've owned that has absolutely no compatibility problems. It is detected automatically by WinXP and I can configure it within each game I play. I never fool with the "profiles" for games because who needs that with every game these days has a configuration window for a joystick?

I've heard some complaints about compatiblity, but these people mention that they are running Win95/98. If you are running Windows XP, you will have no problems.

So please, ignore all of these bad reviews. I don't understand why anyone would have complaints. This is controller is better than any console controller I've used. Try it out and see for yourself.
