Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad
Date of Review: Aug 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: Go for it
The Microsoft Sidewinder Game Pad has been around for a while. It has managed to remain part of my controller arsenal because it is very friendly to change.
Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad enables fast and furious gaming without wear and tear on your thumb. This is the best choice for arcade games, sports simulations and many other genres. This game pad fits comfortably into your hands and the buttons are easily reachable with your thumbs. This game pad has a smooth finish and works very well even after some hours of hardcore gaming. This is the best choice for gamers.
It has the look of a console controller but is more comfortable. Its design takes adult hands into consideration and does not cause cramping associated with most gamepads.
The Microsoft Sidewinder GamePad is a great controller for games like Tomb Raider where using a joystick was an afterthought. The profiler allows you to re-map keyboard controls to the Game Pad buttons for easier play. Its very good for flight simulation games, wrestling games, boxing games, karate games, racing games and any sort of third person shooting games.
The manufacturer of this game pad is Microsoft and the system requirements are Windows 95 ++, The connectivity technology is wired.
