Summary: Works for the PS3!
Date: 2008-11-03 - 
Comment: With all these big shooters arriving on the PS3 (SOCOM, Resistance 2, Killzone 2), I've been asking around for months now if anyone knows of any 360-clone controllers that work on the PS3. Well, here it is.
[...]
Summary: Good, solid controller
Date: 2008-10-01 -
Comment: Good ergonimics. Reversible left controls, which are easily flipped out and around for either xbox control layout or ps2 control layout. PS2 like, right controls and buttons.
Summary: Best PC gamepad currently available

Comment: PC gamepads aren't in much demand as most games are played with the mouse and keyboard, but for the games that come from a console origin such as Devil May Cry 4, Madden, RPGs (like FF7 for Windows), platform games (like Mario Bros), racing games, flight shooters (like Star Fox), and others, you may feel more at home with a gamepad.
This game pad is almost an exact copy of the Xbox 360 controller. It's a bit wider, which is an improvement for my hands. The back and start buttons are designed a little different. The surfaces of the analog sticks are like the original Xbox controllers. The XYAB buttons aren't translucent. And it's wired - though the wire isn't very long (4-5 ft).
The reversible cyborg module works like a charm doesn't feel loose or cheap at all. The FPS mode is extremely fun to play with - I can use the gamepad as a mouse alone if I wanted to, though I would need tweak the sensitivity. I have it setup where I just activate a controller profile and it works exactly how I like it now. The drivers work like a charm. There are no deadzone issues either.
Things I don't like about it:
- The precision mode doesn't have a dedicated button. You must program it to one of your normal buttons to gain the feature and that button will be dedicated to precision mode alone.
- The wire is too short. It's 4-5 feet long - it severely limits cable routing options.
- D-pad is shaped awkwardly. The edge is raised too much for my liking and makes precision handling hard. The Playstation's controllers have the best D-pad in my opinion.
- The profiling software doesn't auto-activate profiles. It could've been easily made automated.
All in all, a very good gamepad for the price that blows all other gamepads available for the PC away. This includes the Xbox 360 controller for Windows and everything Logitech has to offer. Search "best PC gamepad" and see what results you get.

Summary: Could have been better
Date: 2008-08-12 - 
Comment: This Cyborg Force rumble was ok but a pain to set up. I mean it could have less of a pain. I got so frustrated with it, I ended up using my XBOX360 Controller to play alot of the computer games till i end up emailing saitekk about it and 3 weeks later then finally emailed me and help me set it up. But once it was set it up it wasn't bad.

Summary: Perfect for new users
Date: 2008-03-28 -
Comment: I never used a game pad for PC games before, but decided to get this one. I'm very pleased. It's ergonomic and comes with a nice software program to set it up. I had to get used to its sensitivity when playing racing games, but after I adjusted to it I have no complaints. Good price and good product.
