Having gotten pretty well accustomed to the XBOX 360 Controller, it was with great interest that I received a couple of Saitek brand controllers for review. We’ll first look at the Saitek Cyborg as it’s the closest in configuration to the XBOX 360 Controller.

Interesting review, I have been using a 360 Wired controller as my PC pad for over a year now, and once I got rumble working, I can safely say it is the best PC gamepad I have ever used, of course this Saitek is cheaper, but I would recommend the 360 pad over it any day, the precision of the Analog sticks is unmatched and the pad feels totally awesome, and for most racing games it works a treat.

So in all I agree with the review, it's nice to see a competitor try a new idea for a gamepad: I think the stick position swap is a great idea, but at the end of the day, precision is everything, and this obviously comes up short compared to the 360 pad, ah well.

*Note, I have a 360 pad with no 360, thats how impressed I am with the pad, it is exclusively a PC gamepad here

Edit:

<3 (Yes, I am learning how to photoshop, please don't laugh too much at how bad I am.
