Logitech G F710 Wireless Gamepad, 2.4 GHz Wireless with USB Nano-Receiver, Controller Dual Vibration Feedback, 4 Switch D-Pad, PC - Grey/Black

Logitec is a quality driven company. The only ones I do business with. I use all their wireless keyboards and mice. But this game controller is incredible. It is built like the man of steel. I fully expect it to outlast my lifetime. It is rather heavy do to it's rugged construction. I can't really figure out the rumble pack feature, seems to just vibrate when you push the button. Might be because I am using retro game software. Although a little expensive it is worth it.

Logitech is a gaming industry veteran, known for their innovation and solid designs. This gamepad continues that tradition. It feels great and works instantly, from box to PC, running Windows 11. Nothing to install but I will download the latest Logitech app for programming the buttons. Initially tested out using PCSX2 and a variety of PS2 arcade, sports and driving games. No lag, precise movement, sitting about 20 feet from the USB receiver, using the included USB extension cord. The gamepad itself has a heavy, solid feel, partially thanks to the 2 AA batteries (included). I love the rubberized grips. All of the buttons, pads and sticks feel solid as well. Once again, Logitech shines with its versatility, allowing users to switch between game interface modes - the newer Xinput and legacy Directinput for older games. The vibration feedback works well. It's exactly what I needed and all the better coming from Logitech, a brand I've trusted for nearly 40 years. Great price too! UPDATE: After putting through extensive testing (aka gaming) I have to say I love this gamepad. No lag, wireless great range. My -only- complaint would be the smallish size of the front buttons (L1, L2, R1, R2) compared to my Xbox controller. But you adapt, as one does. Duh.

This controller works great for PC games. I've used it to play both the new Batman Arkham games and Portal 2 without any problem. 2 comments for those thinking of getting this. 1- this does suffer from wireless signal interference. I sit around 10-15 feet from my computer when I play and normally its fine, but once in a while it will start to miss my actions and not respond as well as it should. It comes with an extension cord (that says for controller only not any usb device, who knows why) and you can use that to pull the receiver away from other electronics which helps. Pretty much standard for nearly all wireless controllers. 2 - the controller comes with 2 modes and a toggle switch between the triggers. One mode activates a type of emulator/control panel where you can set up more customized controls for each button, the other mode is for games that are programmed specifically to be played with controllers or keyboards. My computer registered great with the first mode and showed the controller as an input device but when I tried to play Batman or Portal, the controls would not work right. When I put it into the second mode my computer kept saying no controller was connected so I thought it was a special mode that I had to install something else to make work lots of time online and no solution. Turns out it was connected and working fine and is the correct mode for the games I was trying to play. Don’t know why Windows tells me it’s not connected when it really is; but if you have a similar problem, just try to play your game with it saying you have no controller and see if it works before you spend a lot of time troubleshooting online to find a way to make windows recognize the second mode. 4 stars for being a great controller and meeting all my expectations. The fifth star is reserved for the controller that finally prevents the wireless interferance issue.

I upgraded from the Logitech wired version of this. I was surprised by how much heavier it was, but still not too bad. Much of that weight is surely the battery and vibration motors (which the wired version lacked). Otherwise it works fine just like the wired one. I thought that it would be charged with something like a USB cable, but no, it appears to just take two AA batteries. I don't think it has an off switch so I assume you just put it down and forget about it when you're done; I guess it transmits when you pick it up and do something. Pretty easy to work with. Recognized by Steam controller configuration.

Wow, I honestly don't even know where to begin with this one. Let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of Logitech and absolutely LOVE every other product that I've ever purchased (and I've purchased a lot over the years). My Harmony One remote is amazing, K400 wireless keyboard...slick, MX518 mouse...it's a champ, just to scratch the surface. That said, I'm a long-time keyboard and mouse PC gamer who also has a PS3, so most of my gamepad comparisons are with the Six Axis controller, which I've had no issues with. I recently built an HTPC system for use as a media player, DVR, and gaming system. It's been great, but it's a bit of a pain trying to use a keyboard and mouse on the couch for gaming, which lead me to look at gamepads. I knew I wanted it to be wireless and I wanted something reliable, so that narrowed my search down to the Microsoft 360 gamepad and the Logitech F710. Having no experience with an Xbox 360 controller, I decided I would go with Logitech since I know they've always treated me well and the technical specs and reviews looked solid. Upon opening it up, my immediate impression was that it looked rather cheap and was rather heavy. It does seem like it can take a beating, but it really looks like a crappy knockoff product that you can buy for half the money. I could care less what it looks like though, as long as it performs well. Unfortunately, that's not the case. The initial setup was very easy. Windows 7 x64 picked it up right away without needing to download any drivers. I immediately fired it up with with a simple game (Magic the Gathering 2013) to test it out. Right away, I noticed that it seemed to be experiencing some lag issues and was occasionally missing button presses entirely. I tend to sit on my couch half-reclined, with my knees up, as I know many other gamers do. In this position, I noticed that the response issues were only happening when my knees were blocking the controller's line of sight to the PC. Seriously? It's a signal strength issue? You've got to be kidding me. I do that all the time with my PS3 controller and have no issues at all. It sits just below the HTPC, both of which are approximately 8 feet away and 4 feet off the ground with direct line of sight. Now I know that Logitech included the extension cable, which did seem to resolve the issue (moved the transceiver around to the front of the PC), but that just seems like a poor design and now I have an ugly cable and transceiver stuck out in front of the otherwise clean entertainment console. So the Bluetooth reception isn't great, but at least there's a workaround. Strike 1. Moving on, I fired up a shooter (Spec Ops: The Line) which has full controller support. I immediately noticed that the dead zones for the analog sticks were horrible, making precise movements extremely difficult. This is partially due to the sticks being overly stiff (too strong of a spring) and the dead zone being too large (amount of movement required before registering it's no longer at rest). This is an absolute killer in an FPS. Strike 2. Strike 3 came when I tried to use triggers L2 and R2. Both are rather small and are not rounded or ergonomic in any way. Like the analog sticks, the trigger springs are also too strong. They are usable until you're 30 minutes in and realize that your fingers are getting sore (90 degree button edges, not rounded) and tired (from pulling so hard). Unfortunately for me, I'd already thrown out the box (tested over 2 days), since I was blindly expecting it to adhere to the same level of quality as the rest of their products. Were it not for this, I would have sent it back to Amazon for a refund. Note: Edited for grammar and minor tweaking.

I'm a huge PC gamer, and honestly I was expecting more for this. When it works, it's a great controller. But when it doesn't it's very irritating. The first thing is that this has a good initial feel (read on for why I say initial). I also like how integrated batteries are into the controller which is fantastic. Microsoft's Xbox One controller will actually have the same layout, eliminating that battery pack from their existing 360 model. Aesthetically speaking, it's pretty nice overall. Feel like a good hybrid between the Dual Shock and Xbox 360 controllers. The overall design of the colored buttons is also something the Xbox One controller will have and it looks really homey. Before buying this I had seen a number of other reviews for it that mentioned its limited range. I wasn't too concerned because I would only be playing up to 3 or 4 feet away from the USB receiver. However, it didn't take very long for me to see that even at that range buttons and sticks were still not functioning all the time. The remedy to this was the receiver's included extender which is about 3 or 4 feet long as well, so it's eliminated the dropped signals completely while still retaining wireless-ish functionality. Personally I'm not too bothered by the extender, but I mean I did pay for a wireless controller; not a wireless controller with a caveat. The other thing is this thing's swappable input modes. Swapping from XInput to Direct Input is great and works fluidly. However, unless I'm emulating SNES games (which will screw up on XInput but works great on Direct), there's absolutely no use to Direct because it doesn't work! Direct is supposed to be great for games that don't have controller support or aren't part of an emulator with controller support, but the thing is the logitech system profiler which is the only thing that lets you configure the Direct Input for games, doesn't detect my controller at all! I've tried everything and every game with controller support detects it, except for the LSP. Meaning some of my games have no hope of any controller support whatsoever. Though to be honest, the only game I can think of that I'd like to have controller support in is Minecraft. The other issue is the feeling. It's comfortable for the first hour or so, but eventually it just starts to feel uncomfortable to hold. It's weird, and idk what the issue is, but it's this strange discomfort. I used to play for hours on DS2&3 and on the Xbox 360 controller without discomfort but this one is just annoying after a while. Overall if you need a new controller, this probably isn't the place to look. Go get an Xbox One controller when it's a available for PC.

Man they just don't make them like they used to. I still have a Logitech Dual Action from what maybe 2004? It's still my "old reliable" controller. I wanted something nicer and something wireless. Well the F710 was nice when it was new. It worked perfectly until it didn't. Windows will tell you it's not connected, then that you are "missing files" when the gamepad isn't detected. This thing went from "best gamepad ever" to "complete trash" for no reason. It's kept on a shelf in a cabinet and used less than 30 times. When new, I could use this gamepad from 20 feet away. Now it has to be within 8 inches of the receiver. When it was new, everything worked, all the time. Now, it simply disconnects on its own. When it was new, it was simply plug and play. Now it's an infuriating piece of garbage you can find COUNTLESS articles about. Because it's garbage and it just stops working after a year. Original review: Feels more expensive than it deserves to at this price! A great PC or Retropie controller. No-nonsense pairing (it's paired out of the box). The controller has a good heft to it, giving it that "expensive toy" feel. The buttons are responsive and the analog sticks are calibrated correctly. Using this on a Retropie and it's been a dream.

First I want to point out that this gamepad uses a dongle when connecting to a PC (which is a good thing). I have had issues with several Bluetooth gamepads that are only Bluetooth for PC gaming. There is a strange issue with windows 7 and windows 10. At some point depending on how many times you install/uninstall the Bluetooth only gamepads windows will not install it correctly and the joysticks no longer function under windows. I have researched this extensively and contacted a maker of another gamepad and the only solution I found once this happens is to reinstall windows because once you do this they start to work again (not a practical solution). This is NOT an issue with this gamepad since it uses a dongle when hooking up to a PC. In fact it shows up in the control panel like a xbox 360 controller and even though the Bluetooth gamepad no longer installs correctly this one continues to work. So in short avoid the Bluetooth ones when that is the only method of using it with a PC. I would also recommend getting a copy of Pinnacle's Game Profiler which will also you to map the gamepad if needed with certain games. This is a great PC gamepad. It is a little heavy but that is probably because of using regular batteries. I definitely would prefer to put up with some additional weight and have a device that will last longer because you can swap out the batteries yourself. An internal rechargeable battery will eventually fail to hold a charge and then you will not be able to use it wireless maybe corded (providing you can use it that way). Build quality is great and here is one feature all the other makes of dongle using gamepads should include: dongle STORAGE. Which for this gamepad is in with the batteries. Thank you Logitech for thinking of dongle storage. It drives me crazy when you have a device that uses a dongle and which is large enough to have had a place made in the device to store the dongle and yet there is none. So if you are looking for a PC gamepad that uses regular batteries and not an internal rechargeable battery I would recommend this one. It just depends on what you prefer; but as mentioned already all internal batteries fail eventually it is only a matter of time.
