Summary: Aged, but still the best.
Comment: I own two of these fine GamePad's (not the USB version). I have had them for many years - first generation. Got them in '96. They still work great with my gameport. I daisy-chain them together without issues on WinXP Pro. I mostly use them for n64 game emulations and/or other action/adventure games. My kids love them also - better then the controllers that you can get with console gaming machines that are available today. The only drawback I can see is that when the time comes for me to upgrade my PC to more powerful technology, I will not be able to use these awesome GamePads because motherboards are beginning to drop support for the gameports. Overall, I am very satisfied with the SideWinder GamePad. 5 Stars!!!

Summary: Best Gamepad, 10 years running!
Comment: This gamepad is amazing. I got it for my birthday when I was 10 or 11, and I loved it then. I am now 20 years old, and I still use it a few times a week to play emulated games on my PC. Just plug and XP detects it in a flash. I bought one on eBay for my girlfriend and we chain them up, you can have multiple gampads into one port, just by plugging them in together.
I will use this gamepad forever; and from the looks of it, it might last that long.

Summary: Simply the best for comfort
Comment: Simplicity is key for some controllers, and the sidewinder is something I've kept with me for almost a decade now. Reliable (as 9+ years of use can attest to) and amazingly lightweight and comfortable, there has never been a reason for me to do away with this controller. I am amazed that for everything I've upgraded and improved over my gaming life, this controller nevert loses its luster. If you want the best feeling contoller available, find this wherever you can.
