 Another failed PC controller November 8, 2008
C. Brennan
Maybe I'm asking too much out of an industry that's been around for how many decades now?
Good:
They copied a great design (xbox) dual analog sticks are very accurate.
Obviously we got enough buttons to satisfy most games.
Vents around the controller are for fans to cool your hands.
Bad:
They copied a great design but it's a copy...
Biggest flaw is the analog triggers (or should I say "trigger"). Left Trigger can't be bound unless Right Trigger is bound to its opposite function... in other words they act as a single analog switch with a dead zone when neither are pressed.
Xbox is superior in controller shape (Chillstream was made for baby hands)
D-pad feels loose but it might actually be more accurate than Xbox (I don't care for either)
No added software to rebind buttons and/or analog axis'.
Conclusion:
I'm going to buy an Xbox controller for my PC and hope it works better. I expect more out of Logitech because usually their hardware is the best quality when you look at keyboards and trackballs. I currently own a Gravis controller with a great design, but occasionally it needs to be reconnected to the USB port as it will turn off mid-game play.

 software doesnt work for xp well,prob for vista either June 9, 2008

on my xp it wouldn't detect the darn controller, then when I installed the software, all I saw was a progress bar go to max, and an ok button unfreezing, when I hit ok, the setup closes and theres nothing installed on my pc. so then I'm told I have to install updated drivers, so I go to their website (logitech.com) only to be redirected.....[wait! logitech doesnt even host their own drivers?...nope) I'm redirected to Microsoft.com to find out I have to authenticate my version of windows with Microsoft to download drivers for a logitech hardware controller!....whatever, I waste half an hour downloading the necessary authentication software from 'microsoft', to download 'logitech' drivers, to find out that the first microsoft authentication software is having problems, so I do the secondary authentication procedure of microsoft.
I get the dam pc authenticated(3 hours passed), and download one of the 2 drivers available from the redirect page of logitech.com
the dirver crashes/I get an error message when I install it, so I go through all that again to download the second driver available, same thing the driver pops up an error message when I installed it.
then I read, (on blogs after wasting time search for them of course)I read that I have to install the microsoft drivers for the xbox360 PC controller....for the 'logitech' chillstream.
after 2 hours looking for it on the internet, it didnt solve the probe either.
a friend gave me a cheap wallyWorld ps2 controller for the pc, which didn't work for his vista, and thats what I'm using now....
if you do have vista...(my condolences), this controller might work for ya... risk it if you wish
now im trying to get amazon to refund my money to my card, after going to the refund page, getting the return instructions, and shipping the dam controller back to them a month ago, still no refund to my card...
to be fair the controller though a bit small feels nice to the hand and handling, and has a big fan that blows nice air to the hands when on. but it didn't work for me.
 Not so bad..... May 9, 2008

Everything aspects of the gamepad are OK but the air system it's horrible, it is really noisy, and doesn't blow enough air to really cool the hands and randomly the fan turns on, I always leave my computer on so it is really annoying..... I recommend this product if you aren't buying it for the cooling system
not programmable March 30, 2008
Aaron Williams (Denver)
this thing is not programmable. the logitech profiler software does not recognize it and will not profile for it, which suxxors. on the other hand, it's super comfortable as well as very cool since it has the fan. the fan is nice because it keeps my hands cool all the time. i've been using it for emulators and Lego Starwars to great effect.
