 A good controller August 26, 2010
Jenny Wong (San Jose, CA)
To me, it does its job. The main upside is that it's more ergonomic than other PS3 controllers out there. That was the reason why I purchased it and I'm quite happy with that portion. The downside is that it's not wireless. Even though it has a long enough wire, it goes around 4-5', it's still sometimes cumbersome, especially for our case, it doesn't reach our comfy couch.
Other than that, I'm glad we made the purchase.
 A Must BUY for any PS2 or PS3 Owner!!! August 9, 2010

The second that i got this controller in hand, I was very impressed. I have semi-small hands, and i was afraid that this controller would be to big and bulky...
It was not. The Feel of the controller is very comfortable, and surprisingly only weighs about 2 pounds! The whole reason that i bought this controller, was
for the ability to switch the positions of the left joystick and directional pad. I was relieved when i noticed that when i do switch the joystick and pad, that
in addition to changing their place on the controller, the functions of the joystick and directional pad migrate with them when they switch! so no mater what
position you have them in, the functions for the game that your playing for the joystick and the directional pad stay assigned to their intended devices so only
the positions have switched. for Example...
let's treat the joystick as F1 and the Directional pad as F2.
now you start playing a game where the fuctions to navigate
the Game Menu are only assigned to F2, and the functions to
control the in-game character are only assigned to F1.
when you switch the places of F1 & F2 on the controller,
F2 will remain assigned to the Menu and F1 will remain
assigned to controlling the in-game character.
You'll be supprised to see how many "Hard to control" games become playable with this controller. It has really changed my opinion about Several games already.
Trust me, this will change the way that you look at PS2 & PS3 games.
also, this controller has an added bonus of functioning as a PC Computer GamePad!
The following Operating systems should already have the necessary drivers for this Device:
Windows XP(All Editions) Service Pack 3.
Windows Vista(All Editions) Service Pack 1 & 2.
Windows 7(All Editions)(All Versions).
How ever, if you still feel that you need the Official Driver for this Device,
Here is the link to Download the official Driver:
(["[...]"])
(Under Drivers, From the Drop-Down list, Select your Operating System and then Select "Cyborg V.3 Rumble Pad", then click "Download Driver".)
I hope this review was helpful.
and thanks for Reading. :)

I got the controller several days after ordering. I took it out of the container, plugged it into my pc and drivers installed automatically.(I have windows 7 so I dont know if other distros do this as well) I downloaded the official program off the site that allows for a multitude of button mapping, as well as features such as preset configurations and macros (which are a must have in some games.) Only thing I don't like is that the right analog stick seemed to worked like a D-pad, without letting me control the speed. If you play fps with this controller, you will need a program such as "JoyToPlay" or "control MK" to fix the speed issue. I've confirmed that this works with emulators too, and the D-pad works great for retro games.
 Crap now comes in plastic! June 12, 2010

I've had this item for 6+months and have tried using it intermittently over that period of time.
As the title says, this controller is crap.
1. Upon opening the package, it informs you that you need to insert the enclosed disk to install the drivers and software to use the pad. No biggie, I'm no stranger to this procedure. Problem: there is NO disk. After locating the website for this product and looking all over the sight for the pad (this has changed) I finally found the product info. I happened to find a download link for the drivers and programs that 'need' to be installed for the pad.
2. I mainly bought it for MMO FPS games seeing as my keyboard/mouse is hard to use in some instances, especially flight. I plugged it in, and tried the basic set up to see what needed tweaking. Oh My God. No control whatsoever. A little movement on the stick equaled a complete spin to that direction. Pull back to look up, and your looking straight up. I figured the sensitivity needed to be calibrated. Even on the lowest setting, the damn thing still made my avatar look like it was epileptic. I would have had more control using my nose on the keyboard.
3. Programming the buttons. Couldn't have been more difficult. Considering there is no manual to instruct one in setting the configurations, its basically a 'set it and try it' procedure. Trust me when I say I didn't enjoy restarting a game that takes 3 minutes to get into to see if my X button would reload a weapon.
4. The "Slow down aiming" aspect (which is one reason I needed to try this pad) Works. To a point. If you are already aiming at your target, and it is not moving, at all, then it bogs down the movement enough to put the cross-hairs where you want it. HOWEVER, if you play MMO FPS games you probably know that NO ONE just stands still. Sniping with this "Slow down aiming" button was only feasible if the target was AFK or not very smart.
Save your cash.
