I bought this controller back in 2007. The 6 front buttons are really what made me buy it. It felt natural using it for playstation and nintendo64 emulators . It felt like I was using the REAL controller itself. For pc games, it was just as universal. I loved it.
But a few months passed and I noticed the gray directional pad needed to be pressed very hard to get a response. Then it became hard to get a movement response from directions with analog sticks.Also the soft foam coating on top of the analog sticks started rubbing off. I had to scape the rest of off, which wasn't good for my thumbs. Not too long after that, the usb cord that goes inside the controller started shortening out.. or something. The lights on the controller stopped coming on and I had to wiggle the inside cord to get it to start back up. It felt like the controller battery or something was dieing. If the lights on the controller went out, the controller was dead. I couldn't use it.
I loved this controller so much that I rigged the cord in a position that would keep it from going off. Eventually, I had to let it go and buy a new one...
The new one had the same problem.
Saitek uses very cheap parts to build this pretty controller. They are NOT durable.
Since then, I've been using a LogiTech controller and it's very durable. However, it feels like a cheap toy.
I miss the 6 front buttons and the heavy feel of the Saitek controller.
I came across this page because I was actually thinking about buying another Saitk controller.lol But I don't think I will since I've reminded myself WHY I got the logitech.

This pad is sweet with the various Emulators in Ubuntu 9.10.
Especially nice is the fact it is seemingly one of the few pads with six buttons, which is pretty well mandatory for playing n64 games.
Mix that with four button on the back, and there's enough to configure any game. (At least any that come to mind for me.)
Didn't really need or want the two mini-joysticks. But if that's for you, well, there they are.
Good, solid, joystick for my larger hands. Non-plastic gripping material better for my hands then plastic which tends to gunk easier. Whoever made this pad was into gaming.

This is my second Saitek product (I also own an Eclipse II back-lit keyboard). My experience with the game pad has been fantastic.
It has sufficient buttons for every game I've thrown at it.
The lighting ring helps with visibility when you're playing in a dark setting.
I'm primarily a Mac user, so I can report that it works fine on that platform right out of the box. I run Windows on my machine, too, and the gamepad works great there, although I have not yet tried the custom software.
My primary gripe is that I would have liked the main analog stick to give some tactile feedback for the up/left/right/down directions. The stick is in a squared-off enclosure, so you get feedback for when you're hitting the diagonals, but it can be tricky to maintain a constant up/left/right/down direction without a bit of drift.

Product works great out the box as expected. All i can fairly review it on for now. will most definitely return if troubles. If not "no news is good news".

i bought this, because i wanted a 6 buttons on the front for fighters, specifically 2D fighters, since the x-box 360 controller, well sucks for 2D fighters. this was also cheap too, about $15.00.
anyways this controller works great!
the D-pad looks weird at first, but it is very good for 2D fighters, i can easily pull of hadokens (QCF) and other movements with ease for street fighter games, and other fighting games too. however you need to press on all of the points a bit slow, like for QCFs you kind of have to roll you thumb on all of the points to pull it off (down,forward down, forward). this takes some time to get use to it, but then it just becomes second nature. also some fighting games are hit and miss with the D-pad. like the d-pad works great for street fighter 3, however there are some issues i had while playing project justice:rival schools 2, like doing 2 QCF and a punch to activate a super. i would either do i forward punch or a dash punch instead of my super. however a normal special, with just one input of a QCF works fine. the analog sticks work great too. all of the face buttons seem to work excellent too. it may take some time to get use to 6 of them if you have only used 4. there is a FPS button, however i don't have any FPSs. there are four shoulder buttons, set up much like the PSX 1 or 2, and theres also an analog button, which turns off the D-pad feature.(you press on the d-pad and nothing happens) however there are no start or select buttons, which is odd. maybe in the next one they can add them. if they did it would be THE perfect controller. although not that its a problem since most games only use 8 buttons and theres 10, so you can set it to one of the others. if you have Xpadder or some other program that does joypad to keyboard (i'd suggest looking into that stuff if you emulate stuff) you can easily set the analog button for the start button on games, however it will still toggle the D-pad on/off.
the controller is bulky, but very light.the USB cord seems a little on the short side, however i'm not too far from the usb port so it really doesn't effect me at all. you also don't need software for this either, which is good.
in the end if you looking for something with 6 face buttons, this IS the gamepad for you. its very good with 2D fighters, and 3D, and other genres too so get this!
