Gravis Xterminator Digital Game GamePad

Pros: Great contour and feel. Excellent button positioning and D-pad is unmatched.
Cons: Worst construction of any $40 controller I have ever seen.

I am a die-hard fan of the National Hockey League. I love hockey and everything associated with it. AS a result, I have played every single NHL series video game that EA Sports has released since 1991-1992 on both Nintendo and the PC. As you might...

Pros: Both Digital and Analog Controls, USB, Great Drivers
Cons: No Rumble feature, Poor Analog movement for stick

PC Gamepads have long been inferior to Console Gamepads. But this has never been much of an issue. The action packed, button pounding games have always been on consoles. Well crossover titles like sports games and Console Style RPGs have almost made a...

Pros: lotsa buttons, pads, etc., comfortable to use
Cons: trouble with DOS-based games

Controllers used to be simple. Pong had a knob to twist. The Atari 2600 had 1 joystick and 1 button. As time went on, games got more complicated and needed more and more controls. The Gravis Xterminator has the following:

2 joypads (one...

Pros: price, accuracy, great gaming action
Cons: non-ease of use, software conflicts and problems,

This controller will bring the game into the palm of your hands! It's functionallity and programibility is unpresidented [wow, big words :)].

I've loved it since the day I got it. In fact, I've got two now, for when a friend comes over and...

Pros: Helps Console Gamers Make A Smooth Transition To PC Games
Cons: Doesn't Like All Games All The Time

What the well-meaning folks at the Gravis company don't tell us is that the "Gravis Experience" can be one of frequent frustration!

Just getting the supplied software to install is often a battle in and of itself. Then you have to try and map...

Pros: Number of Buttons/throttle, Analog AND D-pad, comfort
Cons: Not compatible with some emulators

After buying my first PC, I started buying many games. The only problem, was that some of my games were insanely hard to control, so I decided to buy a gamepad. I chose the Xterminator, mainly because it was free if you bought it with Half-Life from...

Pros: Easy to learn, works for all types of games, nice price
Cons: Zero

In my world there are two types of gamepads.

The first type has two maybe three buttons and a directional pad that sucks. This gamepad usually costs under 15 bucks and you get what you pay for.

The other type has twenty, maybe...

Pros: Cheap, Easy to Install. Fantastic placed controls.
Cons: Doesn't work with most SB 64's

This game pad is simply un-beatable. A fantastic Game pad. I recently had purchased this because I gave my SideWinder away (it irritated me, I do not like MS). This was love at first sight from when I pulled it out of the box, it is set up in a...

Pros: Great mini-Joystick, many a button, piggy backin', accelatator slide
Cons: Software conflicts, Hat and D-Pad in bad spots, $50

Yes, I love it, but it still isn't worth it. I do indeed play games with much more ifficiciency when it is in my hands, but $50? It's an N64 controller flattened and widened. True has functions added for the flight simulater, but is that worth $25 more...

Pros: many features, good software
Cons: joystick became uncentered but was fixed with a download

this is a very good game controller. it cost forty bucks but all that money is worth, even if you use a fair amount. This controller is similar to the nintendo 64 controller and performs just as well. It is shaped in a comfortable way and has many...

Pros: Everything
Cons: none

This gamepad is perfect, its a piece of work. Who ever designed this must have been a genius. This gamepad will work for everything, flight simulation, racing, 3d shooters, you name it will work perfectly. This controller has revolutionized my gaming,...

Pros: Lots of buttons, programmable, comfortable
Cons: No printed manual, must be programmed with included software

Need a great programmable, comfortable, and easy to use game pad? The Xterminator digital is what you are looking for then. The game pad is easy to set up, easy to program, and very comfortable to boot. On top of all this it is also very...

Pros: Good button layout and feel, comfortable
Cons: Digital control lacking, setup can be a pain

I'll admit it: I drooled over the XTerminator for several months when it first came out. I waited and waited for it to go on sale, and eventually it did. I bought one for myself, and my friend got two, since he tends to play a lot of sports games...

Pros: Solid; Comfy; Ultra-flexible; Good software support
Cons: Good for anything means best for nothing; Some controls are badly placed; Flippers are useless

A few gripes aside, this is the pad to have for the gamer who A)Only has room for one gamepad B)Plays games outside of a particular genre. This pad has features galore: eight buttons on the face, a digital pad, an analogue pad, right and left...

Pros: Many, many buttons, all fully programmable
Cons: Price, software, D-pads

Looking for a controller to play emulators with, I decided on a Gravis Xterminator. It has 6 regular buttons, "Start" and "Select" buttons, 2 trigger buttons, a shift button, a throttle control, 2 directional pads, 2 flippers, and an...
