Logitech F310 Wired Gamepad, Controller Console Like Layout, PS 2, 4 Switch D-Pad, Xbox One, Mac, Windows, 1.8-Meter Cord, PC - Grey/Blue

This controller has been an absolute time saver, it does the trick - it handles most platforms of games and styles. It's always recognised and is usually pre-formatted correctly, which saves a lot of hassle. I can also say that it's one of the most reliable aftermarket controllers I've bought, most end up with stick drift or broken vibration sensors, but this has been going strong, despite the hours that I've used it for. I was sceptical to purchase it at first, it was a bit more expensive than most, but I think the quality speaks for itself. Now, the controller itself comes down to preference, I prefer the more weighted feel of a 360 controller, but this hasn't been bad, it just took a bit of time to adapt to. I think the look of the controller lets it down a bit, I wasn't a fan of the images and it looked a bit cheap when i first unboxed it, I think it would look better in a darker colour, the navy colour takes away from it. I'd say it's a controller that values substance over style, it works, does the job and lasts - it's not there to appeal or look flash, I'd say that's why the reliability is so good. I hate to admit it, but I've dropped it a few times and it's robust enough to shrug it off - even the joysticks have suffered no surface wear. I would recommend one for a gamer that wants a controller that's easy to setup and they'll get a lot of hassle free hours of use out of. I'd happily buy one again when the time comes.

I bought this pad because I wanted to play games like platformers and third person action games on my PC, but being only 5'1" tall and a lifelong Playstation player, I find the Xbox pad uncomfortably large for my hands and unfamiliar in layout. The layout is exactly the same as a PS controller, with PS3 style triggers rather than PS1/2 bumpers. It is a little bigger than the PS controller, which wasn't ideal for me personally, but I'm aware that I have particularly small hands for an adult. It's still perfectly usable and smaller than an Xbox pad. It plugs in and works with games immediately like and Xbox pad and the buttons are recognised as Xbox buttons, which makes it quick and easy to set up. The wire is really long; I'd estimate a couple of meters, which is fantastic if your spare usb is around the back of your tower. It's wired, so while you don't have the convenience of wireless, you also never need to worry about setup or batteries. As you'd expect from a 3rd party pad at this price, it does feel a little cheaper than an Xbox or PS pad. The buttons make audible clacky noises and the analogue and d-pad aren't so silky-smooth and the triggers are a tad stiff. While it is a little cheap feeling, it's perfectly up to task, working fine with the precision jumping and movement for Shovel Knight and feeling natural in that role straight out of the box. If you're debating whether to get this or an Xbox pad and you're comfortable using an Xbox pad, I'd advise the Xbox pad. If, however, you have smaller hands, and/or you really want something with a PS layout that your PC will happily recognise an an Xbox controller, or if you want something with the layout of a PS pad but a touch larger, this is an excellent value pad.

This is my first gamepad. It works with my PC and TV and connects easily with the USB cable which is about 2m long. The controller feels good to hold and the button work well. The controller seems well made and built to last.

Had Logitech stuff before, over the years. Always found it good quality, and this is no exception. I'm getting on a bit now, and got rid of all my old Amiga gear sometime ago. However, I still occasionally dabble with Emulators. I still have a load of WHLoad games and software, so installed Amikit 11. This runs any Amiga simulation, up to the A4000. This controller runs perfectly in this, provided you set it up properly! It required the bottom switch in 'D' mode. Responsive, well made, and generally, worth every penny.

No bad, not good. One of the sticks analogue zone is faulty, but I maintain the F-series range have by far the BEST D-Pads you can get. What makes me always buy F-Series controllers? Im on my 5th F710, second F510 and this is the first F310 Ive bought. THEY ARE GREAT for retro gaming thanks to not only them supporting Direct AND X-input, but you can swap the left THUMB stick and the D-PAD around! Very handy for emulation, or playing those old PC CD ROM titles from back in the day. Tomb Raider III etc can be played perfectly THANKS to the Direct Input mode, so OLD GAMES will detect the triggers! They will not be progressive in DIRECT input mode though, only in X-Input mode will you get progressvie Triggers. HOW DO I KNOW THESE ARE GOOD? They arent, get the wireless edition lol. Just like EVERY CONTROLLER in time YES the thumb sticks do get a bit sloppy, but the BATTERIES will OUTLAST your expectations believe me. HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO AN XBOX SERIES X CONTROLLER? Night and day.... The XBox X controller has nicer triggers.... thats about it. The BUILD QUALITY of the F710 Wireless makes an XBOX X Controller FEEL LIKE A TOY. Truth that, where as the F710 will feel like a peice of equipment. Cant say the say about the F310. This F310 is fine for some casual gaming, no vibration and a slight cheap feel, and oddly not built to the same standard as the F510 or the F710. For cheap controllers Id recommend the Thrustmaster DUAL Analogue 4, again cheap cherefull but a better option at this price. No progressive triggers though or X-Input supprt, which the is the F310's strongest selling point, plug play off you go. Once Again I'd maintain after trying a LOT of controllers, although there are some consistencey worries with quality, the Logitech F710 is the best multi-platform, multi era controller, especially for men with larger hands. XBOX controllers feel like a kids toy in comparison.

Best controller I've had. But even the best wears with use. This was a like for like replacement after 7 years of hard service. I have sensory issues and I love that this controller has no needless LEDs. It has one LED, but it's only on when you hit the mode button and I never use that. I prefer wired controllers, I forget to recharge or never have any batteries, and this has plenty of cable so that I can play wherever I want. The sticks are grippy, the buttons are smooth and I find it very reactive. You'll not get a better controller this cheap. Great value.

From a basic consumer standpoint, this is a great buy. The price is reasonable, and the product itself does exactly what you expect it to. I've given myself some time with it, and now feel comfortable enough to rate it and give it a review. Now, why didn't I give it a five star rating? - The trigger buttons are very resistant, and you may have to be a little more forceful with them than what you're used to. - The A, B, X, and Y buttons are solid and responsive, but they make about as much noise as an Atari keyboard when pressed. And if you're pressing vigorously late at night... well, then, I hope you live with heavy sleepers... - The edges of the underside of the controller are very sharp around the back of the thumbsticks. The plastic is not rounded off very well at all, so if you have long fingers then could be in for some discomfort where extensive sessions are concerned. - The D-pad is a single chunk of plastic. However, a press in any direction has a very satisfying click, because underneath that chunk of plastic is four separate switches that are super-responsive. I know a key detraction where the Xbox 360 controller is concerned is the D-pad, and I was a little skeptical with this controller because of the visual similarities, but the D-pad on this is far and above the D-pad on the Xbox 360 controller. But still, a single chunk of plastic feels cheap and clunky under the thumb. - The "Start" and "Back" buttons are positioned much higher on the front than what you may be used to, to make room for the "Mode" button. Now, this took a good amount of time for me to get used to, and I spent a long while turning the "Mode" button on and off because I was missing the "Back" button to open a map. These are my major problems with the controller, due mostly to immersion-breaking and comfort issues. Positives where this controller is concerned are that the wire is lengthy, all of the buttons are responsive and (with the exception of the triggers) satisfying to press, the thumbsticks themselves have a nice grip on them and overall (with the exception of the sharp edges under the thumbsticks) very comfortable to use. These are the reasons I have not given it a five star rating. I have given it a four star rating because I find it to be reliable, versatile, and good value for money. I would recommend this controller to anyone who was disappointed with the Xbox 360 controller and is looking for a more stead-fast replacement for PC gaming.

This work surprising well. I had no trouble at all. Before I was using a generic controller which after prolong hours of gameplay decides to break down. Switching to the logitech wired gamepad I experienced no issues at all. Some games are better played with controller than using keypad controls. Easier to defeat pesky enemies and bosses. I found it value for money however still was pain to remove from plastic casing.
