Saitek's Rumble Pads for X360 works great on VF5!

I only had my XBOX 360 going on a year, but for that year I've been through numerous controllers playing VF5 Online, its the only game I play for the most part. For some reason and its been well documented plenty of times the D-pad for the X360 is no good, I’ve had short time success with 3rd party controllers with better D-pads but the rest of the controller are not up to quality like the buttons and triggers. Most people know how precise you need to be when you playing online with VF5 one mishap can cost you a game. I recently just purchased the Saitek PP34 Cyborg Rumble Pad for use with PC or Xbox 360 Game Console and so far D-pad is great and is very accurate and precise, the D-pad has full 360 movement and the quality is the best I seen for 3rd party item.

I will recommend this controller to anybody that likes fighters but like game pads and not sticks. The only thing is the controller is a little bigger, but it’s worth it if you ask me. I had to initially order mines from the UK because for some reasons the controllers were on backorder in the USA. But I have seen the controller now in stock online with American retailers such as amazon.com madcatz.com etc.

Check out the specs below for the controllers.

I just read your post, and order one myself. I need to find a better pad, this xfps 360 can make me angry sometimes /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

Well when you get it let me know how it works for you. I haven't seen too many people talk about the controllers so I was kind of weary buying it initially but I am glad I took the risk.

So I just received mine yesterday.
The controller is alright, but however.. about the D pad, I often get 3 or 1 when I input a 2. That sucks!!!! I hate when diagonals come out instead of the straight direction. I will make my VF mate test next time he come for a session, but for now, I can't play with that, everytime I want to 2P, I get 3P or 1P...
