5.0 out of 5 stars Guillemot knew what they were doing on this one., March 11, 2001
This review is from: Thrustmaster Fire Storm Dual Power Gamepad (Personal Computers)
This Thrustmaster Fire Storm is the most expensive gamepad in their series. But it is more then justified by the wide variety of options offered. There are a total of 13 buttons that are all placed so wonderfully that's is a good question on how the figured out how to make ever button so easy to reach. There are also two analog mini-joysticks that will help you out with all those EA sport games that require 360 degrees of motion. This particular model also has two independent motors for force feedback and it doesn't need batteries or extra cables or anything like that. This is very much like a PS2 controller in everway except one. That is it fits in your hands like you were meant to never let go of it. It's an awesome controller and for the price it's the most unbeatable deal out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Was unsure, August 27, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Thrustmaster Fire Storm Dual Power Gamepad (Personal Computers)
I thought when I saw the guy who rated it a one it was going to be a bad buy. I got it and it was awesome. The buttons in the back are great, they aren't in the way. Also the analog sticks can be turned on and off with one button. Though the rumble feature hasn't worked, it's still awesome. I got it to play with a psx emulator and it worked great. All the buttons are in the right spot and work great as a ps controller look-a-like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection in the palm of you hand, October 31, 2001
This review is from: Thrustmaster Fire Storm Dual Power Gamepad (Personal Computers)
I had problems but they are easy to correct if you follow the directions.

Anyway This controllers hilights are.
+2 Force feedback motors.
+soft rubber feeling is perfect.
+similar to psx controllers but for my hands.
+expensive feel
+no batteries needed/USB
+mouse emulation
+keyboard emulation
+Its 30 bux!

the one and only downside.
-uncomfortable by the 2 fingers that wrap aound the bottoms of the controller/below all of the buttons.
This is only a problem if you grip the controller too tightly.

Its imperfections are outweighed by the numerous plus's.
So its definitely worth the price.

note: the controllers analog sticks are not ultra precise and sometimes jitter. but you never notice it in the games; only in the joystick setup in control panel.
