With all of the controllers out there, this one will always hold a special place in my heart when money was tight

for me is the super nintendo
This thing is built like a damn tank only problem is those damn cords I always gotta solder it since it gets damaged from time to time.
Not rated for underwater use though
Had to resolder the cables on mine, but since then it’s been going on strong for like 13 years
I have a couple of these and they are great, but in my opinion the F510 was better and i have one in a drawer somewhere waiting for some soldering.
still the best PC controller
It worked really well for me too. I didn’t care about wireless, I’m freakin’ close enough to my PC at all times and everything worked solid enough.
Only thing that bugged me was the lack of rumble. Which when I got a XB1 controller REALLY made Alien Isolation stand out when the thumps of the alien’s feet were vibrated into the controller. Made it way more tense.
I am one of the users. 2006-2014
Still have mine somewhere, the mode switching between XInput and DirectInput is nice. Although I remember the triggers being rather stiff, and it wasn’t the quietest controller.
You know what else was thought to be tight?
This thing had the best D pad. Squishy but in a way that made it comfortable to press down on. Great for SNES games.
ive had many of these, including the wireless derivatives…they did not feel as good as their console counterparts to me, had an awful drift issue over time, and the dpad was as bad as the 360’s…but yeah, for PC’s this was one of the best for the platform during that era.
This is not a controller we plan to use it for the new class for nuclear attack subs in my country. We only need want the best we also have Boeing making our carbon composite for the outer hull and Elon partnership for coms systems.
Had the same hah!
I have it and love it!
I love and hate it at the same time
love it as it was cheap
hated it as the analog sticks were not durable at all (drifting).
This was my go-to for emulators for many years
It’s a tight controller indeed
Got one in my basement right now lol
Mine has square bowls for the sticks though which make some games pretty difficult
The 360 one for me.
God tier controller
in an ocean of products, quality comes in waves, sometimes these controllers are swell, but generally a shallow choice. does not perform well under pressure.
I went from PS3 to XBox 360, which is fine. Not sure what to upgrade to?
I was trying to think of my old gamepad when I was a kid… [Gravis Gamepad Pro.](https://i.imgur.com/TTQAupX.jpeg) Though I don’t remember if I had the 15-pin version like I did for joysticks at the time, or if I had the USB version.
Still in heavy use. Rocket league, Elden ring… Haven’t found anything that feels the same and in the same price
range
it was a good controller. I think I still have one lying around someplace.
You know what else is tight? An imploding submarine.
I almost got one of these too but went another route. Heard good things!
So many hours playing Halo: Combat Evolved with this controller.
I had one, hated it the entire time. The handles on it have the back carved out it was so uncomfortable to hold.
Gravis PC gamepad anyone?
edit: it holds a special place in my heart because it was my 1st ever gamepad on my 386
Was just playing Stick Fight on them earlier

I wish the 510 was still being made. Reliability of a wired connection and the rumble support.
