Re: [Audyssey] Logitech F310/510/710 Socket
Hi Kai, I suspect the square holes make it easier to walk in a straight line in games such as Shades of Doom, Tank Commander and Sarah. I noticed that too. Moving in a slight angle does take more effort. The controller produces more resistance other than moving in the four directions of forward, back, left and right. And you know from Star Trek, Resistance is futile!

Hi Kai, I checked out the Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510 with Dual Vibration Motors $30.99 USD at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Rumble-Gamepad-Vibration-Motors/dp/B003VAM392 and the comment, The three new gamepads support Microsoft's XInput or Common Controller technology, which is a completely different way of communicating with the PC than our older pads. This makes them more compatible with newer games, which generally do not support the older DirectInput communication standard if they support gamepads at all. The F310, F510, and F710 are still compatible with DirectInput, however, so older games that support gamepads will still work correctly. Additionally, the minijoystick apertures have been changed from squares to circles, and the Cordless F710 has been given rubber grips (where the Cordless RumblePad 2 had none). The only real differences between the F510 and F710 are wirelessness of the F710 (and the associated batteries and receiver that come with that feature) and color. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Actually the last two joysticks I bought for my gf were both with square sockets- and it's rather annoying cause they don't tell you that on the description/box. The first one was the King of Fighters anniversary joystick, and the second is the universal ps/pc mayflash fightingstick. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Kai, Oh, that's a relief. My birthday is coming up in a few days. Maybe I can talk my wife into purchasing one of the updated Logitech joysticks as a birthday gift. I really hate the square sockets on the Rumble Pad II. On 1/11/11, Kai kaixi...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Greetings list.
