The Logi F310 is a really nicely designed, compact little controller a bit like a sort of beefier version of a PS4 Dualshock; I'm biased here because PS4 is my only console. It seems to be perfect for this game and so far, other arcade-style games too.Read H

Both gamepads offer solid button responsiveness, though the lack of vibration on the F310 might reduce immersion slightly.Read S
The flaw that I will think is is just that there's no grip on this controller. Basically, you got the the button and the Y button. To play on the computer, you need to um use the D input. If you have it on there, it the gamepad would not work. It all depends on what software you're using. And when you plug this into your computer the first time, it takes 2 minutes to load up the whole program.Watch J
The negatives to be mentioned are about the RT and LT buttons. They are kind of very hot because they have spring loaded. That means it will become a great pain for while gaming because many of the racing games detect these as accelerator buttons. Now the biggest advantage of the game pad is its plug and play feature. We just need to plug it and play.Watch

When switched to Xinput mode, the controller doesn't do anything at all. It doesn't even turn on (the green light doesn't come on when pressing the "Mode" button).Read V
It doesn't quite deliver as expected. You'd assume Logitech, a trusted name for peripherals, would nail this one, right? However, the reality is far more complicated and it's loaded with issues you probably haven't heard about.Watch S
I cannot recommend these controllers at those prices.Watch

It's a wireless controller, but the first thing I noticed when actually checking it out, this does have like the original Lexi Xbox logo. So, meaning this thing has maybe X input. It's going to be a golden oldie. That is one thing for sure. It also comes with a wire. I personally love these wired controls.Watch E
So, enter F310. Good after morning and welcome to Turbo Toy Stick. Today on the T3 we're doing the masters of thrust versus the technological people over here. And this is a very, very long-term fight. It's sort of like the Montagues and the Capulets. You can see who studied their Shakespeare now. Who got who ever got that reference. I'll see you over there, player.Watch B
So, this is going to be a quick uh little review slash uh problems video that I had with this Logitech F310 PC gamepad. And the first issue I had is the the controller came in this packaging which is pretty standard. You know the plastic packaging which is like impossible to open even with scissors.Watch
