Just like a Playstation2 controller, but has a USB plug instead of a Playstation plug - so plugs straight into your computer, no adaptor needed!
Cable length: 1.7m

Many people will find it more comfortable & intuitive than using a keyboard, mouse or joystick.
Great for playing emulated games on your computer as well - for example Playstation,N64 & older(Mega Drive,NES,...) games.
Saves wearing out other devices as well, especially if going to be used by kids!

All the same buttons & controls as Playstation controller:
- vibration feedback
- 2x Analog thumbsticks (and can press down thumbsticks to 'click' them like buttons)
- D-pad, 8 direction
- [1],[2],[3],[4] buttons (like X,Square,Circle,Triangle on a Playstation controller)
- four trigger buttons
- Select, Start buttons

Typically games will let you assign any button to any action, so you can use buttons etc however you like.

'Macro' function in drivers:
- can set up any button(s) on the controller to simulate pressing any combination of buttons/direction pad presses that you like.
Eg: you could set it up so pressing Triangle button acts like you have pressed Left,Up,'3' button,etc - or whatever combination you like.
- can adjust the speed
- can save/load any macro setup you have made

Analog mode can be switched on or off.
Analog mode:
- both thumbsticks analog direction controls, D-Pad functions as a POV(Point-Of-View) hat
Non-analog mode:
- D-Pad & left analog thumbstick works as left,right,up,down. Right analog thumbsticks acts like pressing 1,2,3,4 buttons.

Compatibility:
Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7. Any version of Windows after Windows 95 should work fine(as they support USB)
Linux, MacOS, OSX etc = will almost certainly work with any modern operating system, but won't support 'macro' or vibration.
USB socket on your computer is required (almost all PCs have this)

Windows driver mini-CD included.
Should also work fine without loading drivers(it is detected as a 'generic usb joystick'), but you wouln't be able to use macro or vibration functions then.

As with other joysticks, will only work with games that support a joystick.
Won't usually(if at all) work in DOS mode, just like other USB controllers.

These don't come with a retail box, but will be packaged to prevent damage.
