Customer Rating:      Summary: Decent pad for it's price Comment: I bought this control pad as I couldn't get a hold of the XFX control pad, my main reason for buying this one is because it had a simular custom profile, and was an alternitive to the other one mentioned and in my view is a whole lot better than the one mentioned that I was orignaly going to buy.
Control pad functions:
The control pad overal has the FPS button for First Person Shoot em up games and can be turned off at any time and you can also modify the button entries to emulate any other keyboard function/mouse functions via it's custom profile editor, also you'll be able to tell when it's off when the red LED is off on the FPS button.
The control pad can also have it's rumble feature and analog control sticks turned on/off via the buttons, located just above the analog sticks, also you can tell that the rumble function is on/off from the red LED located next to the buttons, which indicates when it's on that the rumble features are active and the rumble strenth can be adjusted via the Game and controllers in control panel, the analog button when analog is off and acting in digital mode you can tell that analog is deactivated by the button making a clicking sound, also the analog sticks can fully operate in digital mode and act like the directional/D pad.
So overal I give this pad 5/5 for it's functionality and customization for the buttons, and it's feedback system via rumble feature is quite good, also comes with Demonstar on the disc a full game.
