The controller uses a USB connection to interface with your computer. It may sound like a lot of buttons, but this is pretty much standard among game pads in today’s gaming world. The Dual Action Controller features 12 programmable buttons total two action trigger buttons on each side of the front, four regular round buttons on the top right hand side, two smaller buttons in the center of the controller, a digital directional pad on the left and dual analog sticks near the center. With a nearly identical look and feel to the Sony brand Playstation 2 controller, the only things that differentiate the Dual Action Controller from the Sony version is the controller color and Logitech logo. This is exactly what Logitech has done with their Dual Action Controller. So it only makes sense to mimic the controller design and layout of your favorite console and make it compatible with the PC. They are the standard controllers for the Nintendo Gamecube, Sony Playstation 2 and Microsoft Xbox. In the video game console arena there are basically three game pad controller designs in use today. Logitech’s Dual Action Game Pad and the Nyko Airflo Today we are reviewing the Logitech Dual Action Game pad which can be found for around $19.99 MSRP. Luckily there are companies like Logitech, Saitek and Nyko to placate those of us who prefer to use a game pad. From corded to wireless and standard to rumble enabled, there is typically a game pad to fit everyone’s desires.īut when it comes to the computer gaming scene, where the keyboard and mouse dominate, game pads are few and far between. There are a plethora of manufacturers as well as types of game pads being produced.
When it comes to video game consoles, game pads are the dominating controller type. If you have experience with the Logitech Dual Action Controller please post in the user reviews section of this review so others can view your experiences. We would recommend the Nyko Airflo controller which appears to work pretty well, as an alternative to the Dual Action Controller. With Logitech still to this day not acknowledging the calibration problem, there is absolutely no reason why you should purchase this product. The problems we experienced after a week of testing were not isolated to our three test game pads and people all over the Internet are reporting the same issues. While the Logitech Dual Action Controller appears to be the perfect game pad for the PC and will definitely appeal to those on a budget, we have to warn you to stay away from it.
