I > can't make up my mind I can't access the links you've posted, but if one of the devices above is a Logitech Wingman Rumblepad then I can't fault this pad for user experience, it's comfortable and works well but I have reservations about two aspects of the build - namely the blue plastic 'drawing pins' which form part of the analogue controllers. This is my second pad after the plastic elements snapped on the first, effectively these components are not an integral part of the build, simply two plastic pegs plonked on top of two metal protrusions and easilt the weakest part of the pad. The Cordless version may have addressed this weakness. Looking at the Logitech site, I see they are promoting a 'Rumblepad 2', whick looks a lot like the Dualshock 2 favoured by Playstation users. Have you considered buying a Dualshock2 pad and 'PS to USB' converter? ++ Fillyourboots
Ok I bought the Rumblepad 2 (not cordless) and its usb. It seems pretty sweet except I can't feel the rumble in Richard Burns Rally. It says forcefeedback is enabled and when I go to test it says your steering wheel should move to the left. But I don't have a steering wheel, so is forcefeedback not supported for the rumblepad2 only for wheels? What a shame and this game is plastered with the logitech logo. Also I can't get it to rumble for Xpand Rally. But in the Win XP configuration when I press buttons it rumbles.
Nope, you don't have any problems its just that FF does not work with any gamepads or joysticks in RBR. :( ggroups2 wrote:
