 "I wanted one of these so much I ordered it" 2009-06-14
By Daniel W. Miller
I never received this item. Amazon shipped it on time as usual but it was mis-delivered from my post office, never to be seen again. I'm saving up money to order another one, and maybe pay extra to have UPS bring it. Super saver shipping was a little too much like a Secret Santa in this instance.

 "Video Jockey works well" 2009-03-24
By Kevin Pietila (Menahga, MN USA)
StarTech Video game jockey works very well. I am using it to connect my Wii to my computer screen. The only thing that I don't care for is that I have to run it through my computer also. I was hoping that I could run the computer screen straight from the Jockey.

 "Converts Component to VGA ! ("Comp 2 VGA" )" 2009-02-20
By D. Doyle
"Comp 2 VGA" is a way to display component (the single yellow RCA-jack input)to the 15 pin "D-sub" VGA input on your monitor. This is in case you don't have a "component in" available on your monitor, but you do have an extra VGA. Component video is the worst - and this thing takes it and converts it, so the picture's going to be even worse than if you could plug right into a component input... but you don't have a component-in available, or you wouldn't be looking for this thing.



Just to make things more interesting, there is a VGA to DVI adaptor made that costs just a few more dollars (5 or so) in case you only have a DVI input available and you want to display your device's component video on your DVI monitor. I have an old computer that plugs into a new monitor's second DVI input that way (the first DVI input has a modern computer on it.) So I'm pretty sure you could use this thing with the VGA-into-DVI adaptor to show component video on a monitor's available DVI-in port.

By David Gwinn (Monterey County)
My girlfriend and I have a spare DVD player that we were using before we moved as well as an LCD monitor. We wanted to hook both of them up in the bed room so that we could watch some DVDs. This product worked great for about three days (though it did over saturate the color a bit) and then it would start to flicker a little bit... then a lot... then it would loose color and only be in black and white. Then about two days later it went back to color for a few hours before it started flickering again. I returned this product and I'm going to try a different one (hasn't arrived yet)

 "Its good but..." 2009-05-17
By A. Gift For You (Santa Rosa, CA, USA)
Everything is fine and it works great for

fighting games but the d-pad falls of after

about 2 months and the analog stick is no

good for fighting games, models p2600 and

p220 have the same problem.

 "Not for fighters" 2009-04-27
By John Smith (Ratrace, VA)
Although this gamepad is probably fine for some things, it is not for fighting games (emulators). A 360 (Zangief, etc) and even half circles are difficult if not near impossible to pull off. For me, there's no point in playing if Hugo or Zangief aren't usable.



I tried this with both the Windows XP generic driver and Saitek's own drivers with the same results. I haven't tested the two analog extensively and so can't comment on them.

 "Great controller for the price" 2008-12-27
By Charles E. Hughes (Franklin, New Jersey United States)
I honestly dont understand what everyone is complaining about. Although I havent had this long enough (I've had it a few weeks) for it to break like everyone else has. But I bought it for play Madden 08 with on PC.

It works great.

Works great in madden.

I love it and I'd recommend it to anyone.

The only thing I have a problem with and its not even bad, its that I'd rather them give you two buttons on top (Like R1 and R2 on the playstation controllers) instead of having six buttons on the right side.

As for it not working with Madden 2008 I installed all the drivers and it works great.

 "Solid Gamepad controller" 2008-10-19
By George Hammond (Bridgeport, PA)
I purchased this Saitek P2500 game pad to replace a Microsoft game pad (the X-axis toggle broke off due to cheap construction).

I've been very happy with the Saitek, particularly the ergonomics and the quality of construction.

Ergonomically, the game pad fits very naturally in my hands and the buttons are well laid and intuitive. I don't have to hunt and peck for my controls when I play a game. Also, I'm able to play for hours with very little fatigue and the controls are very responsive.

The construction is solid. I play the game pad hard and nothing has broken, yet.

Finally, I would have given this 5 stars, but driver disc didn't have the drivers for Windows Vista. I went to the SAITEK.com website, link is: http://www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers2.asp, downloaded the correct drivers to my desktop and ran them from there. Although there was an error message, the drivers seem to have loaded correctly and the game pad works great.

 "good... but... why???" 2009-05-14
By Jun Jackson
Well first off the product itself is good and I enjoy it.. but... there are a few "hiccups" that i think couldve been avoided. First off the Dpad is not quite suitable for fighters, though you can make do. When i bought this gamepad i was oblivious to the fact it had trigger buttons, so much to my enjoyment (and maybe dismay) i discovered em upon opening the box. The bad thing of these is of the way the feel, they end up resting on top of your middle fingers (If you hold the controller such as I do , by only having the index fingers on the shoulder buttons)





Now the real disapointment... But I'm not going to bash on this product as I shouldve looked up the software b4hand. It has been a LOOOONG time since I've bought a gamepad or joystick, but this game pad specifically came with software to calibrate etc the buttons. Not saying controllers I've bought in the past didnt come with this, but normally the software involved gave you the option of assigning KEYBOARD functions to your joystick/gamepad, whereas i havent been able to find that same option with this one, which is a disapointment. If anyone has found the answer to this plz inform me ^_^ as i cant enjoy my FF7 on the pc with the keyboard as much as i could using the controller 8*(





overall its a good pad, but I'll be looking forward to when I get my next one as well I'm afraid.

 "Really, really nice 3rd-party controller" 2009-05-02
By D. Bisciglia (Austin, TX USA)
Very good product. Functions perfectly on PS1, PS2, PS3, and PC.



For those interested/concerned, switching "modes" (PC vs. PS3) is as simple as a toggle switch on the bottom of the controller. The controller has a split-out, with both a USB and a PS1/2 style input--simply plug the PS-style end into a PS1/2, no toggle-switching required.



Compared with a Dualshock model controllers, it's a bit bulkier. Think of it as a hybrid Xbox/PS3 controller...behind the typical R1/R2 L1/L2 placement is an Xbox-style trigger (R4/L4) which is also mapped to R2/L2 in Playstation mode. All controls are programmable/switchable via the controller, in either mode, which is great for PS1-3 games that don't allow customizable controls.



The buttons feel pretty firm (not as good as Dualshock buttons) and the triggers are a bit awkward, given how many there are, but after a little adjustment it feels just as natural as a PS3 controller.



HUGE BONUS - the d-pad. The D-pad is massive, it feels good, and it's Sega Saturn/Genesis style, e.g. circular, raised, and has great play. Further exemplifies just how god-awful the 360 d-pad is.



One drawback would have to be in the description. The manufacturer (or Amazon) undoubetly worded the "6 progressive axes" comment to sound like Six-Axis. Do not get these confused. This controller does not have motion control in PC mode or PS1-3 mode. The progressive axes described refer to the force-feedback (I'm assuming...) which is quite good. Do not, however, get this controller expecting a stand-in PS3 controller for Six-Axis games or you'll be sorely disappointed. Makes a fantastic Resident Evil 5 co-op controller though!



Would have been 5/5 if it weren't for the "creative advertising" designed to slightly mislead...4/5 as is, but a phenomenal controller and leagues better than anything else in its price range, considering the range of application. If you only own one PS3 controller and could use a good PC gamepad as well, you cannot do better than this purchase.

 "The larger controller that could" 2008-11-06
By phoenix (ohio United States)
Well between thrustmaster's wireless pad and this 1 this has more the size i was expecting,not that having a smaller pad for travel or kids is bad but

you'd proabably be hapier with the size on this 1. It even has l4 / r4 which are the gun triggers under r2 / l2 which is great to map guns to.

It's ergonomics make it hard to use l1 /r1 which can be mapped to the aformentioned gun triggers leaving r2 /l2 useable. Like their smaller wireless pad it's 100% re-mapable so again lefty's this is your answer

to bad design because you can now fix it. 100% WORTHWILE with great build quality and features. I really love the 360 styled triggers that can replace r1 / l1 In my opion they shouldn't have bothered puting both l1/l2

and r1/r2 on the pad as they could've just put l1 / and r1 where the shoulders are and make the gun triggers r2 /l2 just for slightly better ergonomics but it's almost moot since everything's remapable.



IF YOU'RE A SOUTHPAW OR LEGACY PLAYER BUY IT-YOU WON'T REGRET IT,I DIDN'T! It's not wireless though with a cord that splits into an old playstation plug for psone,ps-2 and a usb port for ps3 or pc.

 "Dual Trigger 3-IN-1 Gamepad " 2008-02-10
By azrael (Green Island, NY)
I got this to play EA Sports NHL 08 on my PC. It works great and the mapping functions are easy to use. Plus the triggers are great for NHL08. Before I got this I was using an AlienWare gamepad, but the right analog stick was screwed up(although its orientation was fine in Windows, up responded as left, down responded as right, left responded as up, and right responded down) within the game. The Thrustmaster works perfectly fine. Highly recommended.

 "Good for PC/Xbox - not for MBP (MAC)" 2009-09-04
By E. Scairpon (Washington United States)
Can't get this to work with my 2008 MacBook Pro - System profiler sees it, but I can't use it in any flight sims. PC and Xbox work flawlessly with it though. Mac compatibility would have earned this stick five stars.

I bought this fancier than planned joystick as a treat to my self for 3 weeks of not smoking what a mistake you have to download a 211MB file plus a driver to "make it work" when you install only about 40MB ends up on your HD.This device is NOT PLUG AND PLAY!!!! despite removing and reloading the device and the download several times countless trips to the editor never has the twist rudder or either throttle ever worked. the vendor refuses to take it back because I opened it and loaded the software(downloaded not sealed) to discover it did not work so i am out the price and shipping,i will replace it with the Logictek 3D I had planned to buy in the first place. i had one before it is plug and play and all its functions worked right out of the box if you want happy hassle free flying with a joystick avoid this one go with logicteck .and if you want a reliable seller that backs its products avoid Antonline stick with products that come str8 from amazon.

 "Saitek Aviator Joystick" 2009-08-16
By Gary L. Hutchens (Mobile, AL USA)
Does what it's advertised to do. I have not used it with the XBOX 360 yet so can't comment on that. I'M using it in Flight Simulator X in Vista 32 bit and had to update the driver which I did through the device manager after letting Vista recognize it. I assigned the axis and buttons through FSX with no problems. Everything works OK in FSX except the trigger will not control the brakes. FSX views it as an axis instead of a button so there is no way to assign it.I have a feeling it will work great with the XBOX 360.

 "It works." 2009-07-19
By joeThePlumber
This is a lightweight control but very well balanced. You need to put it at a level where your arm remains horizontal or below. It is calibrated very well out of factory but I doubt that would last over a few years of use.



It works just like that with MS Flight Sim X Deluxe. I did not have to install Saitek driver for it. Probably I would get more options to reassign the buttons with Saitek app but haven't tried that yet. By the way, this is on Windows 7 RC Build 7100.

The only problem that i found its that the wheel hub its made of plastic and it moves, just a little, to the front and to the back.

 "Good, durable joystick with glitched software" 2009-08-22
By Johnny Red
I got this joystick a few years ago to replace a broken gamepad. It has served me well though the years and continues to be useful in a variety of games, flight games especially. The twist function is far from gimmicky - it is crucial for flight games and space shooters, where you have to both turn and rotate your craft (doing barrels rolls in a spaceship makes you harder to hit).



The buttons have lost some of their tactile feedback over the years, but it still works quite well. The layout of the joystick is quite nice for using it in tandem with the keyboard, and the base has just enough weight to keep it from moving when you slam the joystick forward.



There are a couple of complaints. One is the positioning of the throttle. Don't get me wrong - the throttle is great. But you will have to take your hands off of the keyboard to use it, which translates into a split second of not using keyboard controls (say, strafing) while you adjust your speed. The other is the software that comes with the game itself - it was the cause of the 'broken gamepad' (also made by logitech). Fortunately, the joystick works without the software, and when I uninstalled the software, everything worked perfectly again. On a related note, you can download a 'clear calibration utility' from the website, but it didn't work for me.



I plan on replacing this stick with the newer, cooler-looking Thrustmaster T-flight Hotas Stick. But if that doesn't work for some reason, I am going back to this joystick for sure.

 "Works great in FSX!" 2009-07-21
By soren121
I bought this joystick, along with Flight Simulator X, after I attended a summer camp at a local museum and realized how much flight sims were. After searching Amazon, I found the joystick and throttle set they used: the Thrustmaster Cougar, and it cost a whopping $186. Needless to say, I went with the Logitech joystick. I'm quite impressed with it. The buttons are very 'clicky', and it does feel a little cheap, but you get what you pay for. Also, I wish the throttle had more friction, but it's not a big problem. Flight Simulator X auto-configured it when I plugged it in, no drivers required. Highly recommended if you want a good, cheap joystick.



Also, props to Amazon for getting it here so fast. I ordered it Sunday and it got here early on Tuesday. And that isn't with Two-Day Shipping, that's with FREE Super Saver Shipping. :D

 "good control for different games" 2009-07-13
By David Ferry
I bought this controller and am quite pleased with it's reaction time and multiple button assignment. I mostly play racing and third-person games with it. It works great with 'Mashed', 'LOTR Return of the King', 'Star Wars: Rogue Squadron', etc. It doesn't lose button functionality quickly through hard-core use. It is for right-handed users only but has a comfortable hand-rest for long game-play time. I've used it practically every day since I bought it and it still is working fine. You may need to clean the gunk 'round the buttons from dirt, grime, or dust ever-so-often but so far it hasn't given me any trouble. I would recommend this controller for beginner gamer's and experts alike. The buttons are in a comfortable formation and easy reach access, especially when trying to press two buttons at once.

 "Good Design, Poor Life Expectancy" 2009-07-12
By G. A. Bernotas (Tampa, FL USA)
I have owned two of these Joysticks, I have worn them both out. I have used the second one for over 100 hours before it became unusable from lack of response and accuracy.



First we will cover the good points.

-Nice looking Joystick.

-Very Ergonomic for Right-handed players.

-Buttons and Hat are well placed for short, quick movements.

-Throttle is smooth and precise, useful for chopper pilots.

-Stick movement is fairly precise and evenly tensioned in x, y and z axis. (Z Axis is the twist rudder).



Now the important bad points.

-Loses calibration after a short period of time. How much you use it, dictates how soon it loses its precision and accuracy. I noticed it on takeoffs playing Battlefield 2, I would start drifting to one side of the runway requiring some hard rudder to compensate and not crash.



-Button 2, on the thumb rest, stopped producing a sharp click feeling after a few weeks. Important for me, as I used it for dropping bombs/shooting missiles.



Summary: If it wasn't for this losing precision and accuracy issue, I would highly recommend this joystick. But let's face it, when you are on the other guy's six and you want to smoke him with the nose gun, you need a joystick that lets you put the bullets in his tailpipe for more than the first few weeks of use.



I am going to try a Saitek AV8R as a replacement . . .

It performed more accurately, felt "tighter" and had better "feel" than the older one did when it was new. The kids love it and, of course, the AMAZON service made it a pleasure to purchase!
