Hi Kai, Yeah, that is a pretty fair summary. My Logitech Rumble Pad also has the square shaped sockets which is fine for a game like MOTA, but in a case like you might want to spin a light saber in a circle it is pretty much impossible just by the poor socket design. However, in terms of price I r

Hi Muhammed, This is non-sense. There are several different brands, makes, and mottles of game pads out there. Just because you personally saw one with say 10 buttons doesn't mean every game pad out there has that many buttons. There are more expensive game pads that typically have 15 buttons, and

A joystick is a physical "stick" that stands on a base. You grip it and use your thumb and possibly one finger to press the buttons, which are mounted on the stick. You make directional movements by actually moving the stick left or right. A game pad is a comtroller which you hold in both hands, a
