Logitech G F310 Wired Gamepad Controller Console Like Layout 4 Switch D-Pad PC – Blue/Black by Logitech

El mando es bastante ligero y los plásticos son de buena calidad. (no premium ni cercana a la del dualshock o mando del xbox one).
Lo he utilizado varios meses y me gustaría aportar las siguientes apreciaciones:

Al tacto se siente como un dualshock, los sticks direccionales funcionan bastante bien, el d-pad es firme al tacto, los botones xyab se sienten bien, los gatillos son pequeños pero cumplen de gran manera.

El control el 100% plug and play, compatible con steam y muchas plataformas y juegos.

En cuanto a los puntos negativos está el hecho que es alámbico, así que si odias los cables, deberías buscar otra opción o bien tener un poco de paciencia al momento de usarlo.
Si bien no se llega a sentir como el dualshock (mi favorito), no quiere decir que la experiencia es mala, todo lo contrario, es cómodo al uso y muy responsivo.

Si necesitas un segundo control a buen precio o tienes un presupuesto ajustado y no te importan los cables, este es uno de los mejores controles en el mercado. Si a esto le sumas una posible rebaja u oferta, vale la pena intentarlo.

I wanted a controller for PC gaming for the rare title where a controller is really that much better than kb&m controls, but I wasn’t about to shell out $80 for an Xbox controller and the adapter needed to use it for PC. This is the one I settled on, and after at least 100 hours of gameplay use from Hades alone I can say it’s a quality controller.

Note that this does not have rumble capability of any kind, nor does it have some of the fancy speaker/microphone stuff Sony and Microsoft have started adding to their controllers. If you want all the bells and whistles of the expensive controllers – well, you’re gonna have to buy one of the expensive controllers. But if you don’t really care about that stuff and just want a well built controller with the standard modern Xbox/PS style layout, this one is a great choice. I have never had a game that supports controller input fail to map the controls correctly or anything like that. And if you install Logitech’s profiler software, you can fully rebind the controls yourself – allowing you to correct annoying control setups in games that don’t have built-in rebindable controller controls, or if you decide you want to use it for a game that doesn’t even have controller support you can rebind the buttons to keyboard buttons so as far as the game is concerned you’re just using keyboard controls. Not sure exactly how sophisticated the profiler is in terms of macros and the like because I’ve never bothered to install it, since this controller just works with no fuss for all the games I’ve tried it with.

It even has a toggle switch on the back to switch to directinput if you wanna play some ancient game that lacks xinput support (if you don’t know what this means, don’t worry about it – xinput has been the standard for years now and any remotely modern game with controller support is gonna use it).

All the buttons still feel good after 100+ hours of heavy use. I haven’t noticed any issues with thumbstick drift, a problem even the “premium” controllers sometimes have. The d-pad is much higher quality than on most cheap controllers – it has 4 separate switches for the 4 cardinal directions instead of just one in the middle, so it is more reliable and feels better to use). The controller itself feels a bit lighter than an Xbox controller but still feels sturdy and durable.

I’ll admit I’m a big of a Logitech fan, so maybe I was biased to like this controller – but there’s a reason it’s one of the most common recommendations for a budget PC controller and the top seller in the PC controllers Amazon category. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to an Xbox controller, and don’t mind a wired controller or lack of rumble support, this is the product you’re looking for. At full MSRP of $24.99 it’s a very good deal, and if you’re patient and look for deals it’s not hard to find in the 15-20 range at which point it’s an absolute steal.

If you want a budget option that is wireless and has rumble support, look into the Logitech F710.

I bought this based on reviews and to set up some Emulation to play some old classics I missed out on as a child.
The controller reminds me of a PS2 controller. Easy to hold. Maybe the buttons are a little more firm to press. I think if you’re a hard core game, and you need absolute precision then maybe some challenges, but for me it’s perfect and I can play RPGs, Platformers, Beat em ups, Racing games with no issue.

So far I have used to emulate SNES, Genesis, Game Gear, PS1, N64 games and no issues. Was super easy to set up the controller for each. The only challenge would be with N64 as the controller is quite different. You have enough buttons on this joystick, but depend on the game you may need to re-configure OR you can purchase a different controller for N64 games.

Works on Windows 98SE on a USB 1.1 port!

It’s really nothing special – basically the same cruddy design they’ve been making for 20 years – but I’m still giving it five stars since it works with no hassle. I already had NUSB drivers installed so I could use USB mass storage, not sure if this uses those or built in Windows drivers, but either way I didn’t have to do anything special and it shows up in the Control Panel under Game Controllers.

I managed to get a wired Xbox360 controller to work with some custom drivers, but that seemed to give me pretty bad slowdown in games, like it was bogging down the CPU. This seems to keep games at full speed.

Note that the Logitech Profiler software I could find didn’t seem to work on 98. You’ll want to dig up an ancient version of Joy2Key if you want to map this to keyboard and mouse.
