Honestly GenBison I think the guy who was complaining about that pad in the thread had a bad pad. I pre-ordered my pad and have played with it since friday since it has come ups. (Next Day Air Saver ftw)

I hooked it up to my pc first just to see how much pressure was needed and to check if I got a bad pad. The pad is fine the only problem is getting use to the dpad. It has a bigger pad so it calls for a bigger range of motion or it has a longer throw ( whatever you prefer to say). I have played 1942 beat the game only using turbo, I beat R-Type both games only using turbo. I only used the dpad not set to emulate the left thumb stick. I have play SSFII Turbo HD and I have taken my loses to get use to the motions. The controller is fine once again. You have to get use to it. Other games test have been battle fantasia, and the controller works like a charm.

 

We get a good pad and now when people have to get use to something new they write it off as broken.

Btw When I ordered from gamestop it only showed the akuma pad but when it came in the mail I got chun-li it seems gamestop is using random select when they are sending out the pads

Please urgent, do you need drivers for the pad in the PC? which do you need?

No you dont need drivers it is plug and play. I am running vista on my laptop I plugged it in and it just downloaded the drivers. Thats all you need to do.

I just picked mine up! I called around this morning and found a Best Buy who had them. The employee said there were two left and I held one. When I got there the other one was already sold.

The buttons are bigger than I thought they would be, which is good. The D-pad looks really good. I still don't know why they couldn't make it wireless. $45 (after tax) is pretty hard to swallow.

The question to the people that have them: How do they handle?

The only feedback I've heard concerning the handling of the pad wasn't the most assuring: http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/13132304/Is_the_360_fightpad_callibrated_only_for_SF4

But we'll have to see for ourselves.

Yeah, I checked the thread and that person went and exchanged his pad and the new one works like a charm. He loved it and was singing its praises in a later post.
