 PC Gamepad February 15, 2010
This gamepad is the best available! Easy to use, built in cooler controller out there.
 So close, and yet so far away December 30, 2009

This controller is comfortable to hold for extended hours of game play. I do have small hands though. The build quality is solid and feels nicer than most cheap controllers out there. The analog sticks feel smooth and buttons respond nicely, though the D-pad does feel cheap and clicky. It does feel smaller than an Xbox controller. The fan seems gimmicky, but I have used it more than expected. Even on the highest setting it isn't THAT noisy, most will stick with the lower setting. You'll typically hear your PC more than this controller+fan unless you like to hold your controller up to your face for some reason. Don't expect a huge amount of air from the fan though.
So why knock off two stars?
Well, for the same two reasons other reviewers have mentioned.
1) The controller defaults to the fan on every time you cut your computer on with it plugged in. If you plan on leaving this controller plugged in and just picking it up when you need to, you'll get frustrated. Several times I've noticed the fan was on for the controller after who knows how long (wasn't loud enough for me to notice right away). If only they could have had the controller default to OFF instead...
2) The RT/LT shoulder buttons. I bought this controller to play side scrolling games (mmo's etc.). I need as many programmable buttons as I can get. Who in their right mind would take away the ability to program all the shoulder buttons?! There are four shoulder buttons, the two fancy trigger-like shoulder buttons are the ones that are stuck adjusting z-axis forever. The top two smaller shoulder buttons are programmable. Even using programs such as JoyToKey I've had no luck. (If someone has found a way around this, PLEASE let me know.)
Two extra programmable buttons doesn't seem like much I suppose, but I hate that I had to change my play style in games to fit this controller instead of the other way around. If they had fixed the shoulder button issue I would have given this five stars with a warning of the fan default (not a huge deal breaker). It's a shame really. This controller was so close to being perfect for me.
I'd go back to my RumblePad December 26, 2009

I thought it was a new model to replace RumblePad, but it's not. I have no use for the chilling fan, which is quite noisy if turned on. It does not have vibration, and is not supported by Logitech Gaming Software. The X axis of the right analog stick control does not work in KOEI's dynasty / samurai warrior series.

Works well! Even compatible with Windows 7 which I was kind of worried about. A little smaller than I would of liked but it works well with the games I've tried it with.
Excellent Controller! September 14, 2009

The Logitech ChillStream Gamepad for PC is a very excellent gamepad controller. It is designed to look, and function, like an X-Box or X-Box 360 controller for one's PC. It also features two (2) fans in each hand grip to help with the sweat palm issue one incurs while playing video games for hours on end. There are two (2) speeds for these fans, which is nice.
