Author's Review
Really, you can't get any better than this. Gravis' Gamepad Pro USB really hits the spot for the ultimate experience in gaming. Its user-friendly design, sensitive controls, and layout makes games fun to play and easy to learn. For 20 dollars, you can not absolutely positively go wrong with this gamepad.
If you can't tell so far, this epinion is turning out to sound like a commercial. It's not because I want it to sound that way, but that the product I'm reviewing is really that good. I couldn't come up with a single negative comment about the controller...
The Gravis Gamepad Pro has an extremely user-friendly design. The buttons and d-pad are constructed in such a way that your wrists, hands, or fingers don't feel like they're going to fall off after hours of use. I sit and play Madden NFL 2001 for 3 hours at a time and my hands feel fine.
The gamepad looks very similar to a Playstation controller, except it's a bit smaller and lacks the analog sticks. I find games easier to learn on this for several reasons. First, the color coded buttons are not difficult to remember and second, the closeness of the buttons--they're far enough apart that you don't hit the wrong one by mistake but they aren't so far that you would have to use extra effort to reach any. It takes a little while to get used to, as with any gamepad, but once you have it down, you're set to go for a very long time.
Gameplay with the device definitely went above and beyond my expectations. I just wanted a controller to play my football game with and this turned out to be icing on the cake. I know with other systems, I would occasionally throw my controller on the floor or yell at it because what I was pushing did not concur with what was happening on the screen. My troubles are over, my stress is over, and I'm thrilled. You just can't go wrong with the Gravis Gamepad Pro USB.
