Saitek P220 Digital PC Game Pad Reviews
| 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful:  You Get What You Pay For, By azseller "azseller" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Saitek P220 Digital PC Game Pad (Personal Computers) I bought the Saitek P220 game pad because I needed a cheap USB controller to play classic arcade games on my laptop. For the most part, it's a decent controller. It features a total of 8 buttons (six on the front and two on the the top) so it's versatile enough for simple jump-and-shoot games as well as complex fighting games. A unique, but unusable, feature is the center throttle button. There are four settings that can be selected by pressing it either up or down. Also, you can go for a more precise control by holding it and slowly increasing/decreasing the speed. I'm guessing it was made to give the user better control with acceleration in racing games, but it will take some time to get used to it. Your better off buying some pedals and a steering wheel. This 8-way directional button is not as precise as it should be but this is a problem with every game pad (made specifically for PC's) that I have seen. The build quality needs some work because some buttons are looser...

I plugged the P220 into a USB port while I was in Windows XP and the controller was instantly recognized by Windows XP as "P220" (not "Saitek P220") without need of any driver installation CD (NO SUCH CD IS INCLUDED. USERS OF WINDOWS 98 (BUT NOT WINDOWS ME OR WINDOWS 2000) MAY BE REQUIRED TO USE THEIR WINDOWS 98 CD). The P220 tested well in Control Panel. All eight buttons work and the P220's directional pad (d-pad) worked fine (unlike the d-pad of controllers from Gravis and Logtech). My first complaint, however, is with the P220's ergonomics. Unlike its larger sibling the P880, the P220 has no rubber padding and feels much less comfortable to hold. My second complaint is with the P220's so-called "digital throttle" button. Located in the middle of the...

That especially for the price its good. Very cheap, got a couple for 20.00 total. Its very easy to get started with my computer. All I had to do was plug them in and they were on and working, just like console controllers. Also, they are compatible with every game I want to play. Compatible meaning the buttons work. Thats why I give it 3 stars and not 2 or 1. But when it comes to how well the joystick works for certain games, thats where a problem starts. I play mainly 2 types of 2d games on my PC, platformers and fighting games. On the platformers this controller works good enough. On the fighting games, its not very good at all. The D-Pad is designed in an unsual way, there is a hole in the center. After playing for 5 minuites, my thumb hurts. After a couple of days you get a little used to it, but the moves are still much to hard to execute. 2-d... Read more |
