    But why? It only has one d-pad, and it's digital. What are you trying to play? Solitare with a gamepad?

    Do yourself a favor and buy a Logitech pad or a 360 controller.

    I believe the last system that used a digital pad was the Sega Saturn. But I guess if you're playing emulations, it'll be fine.

    i think i prefer genius mice over logitech mice. But its just hard to buy unless ur getting it somewhere. And the price is reasonably lower than a good logitech.

    Thats great, but I really don't care what they have to say (and I'm sure many of you don't care what I have to say) but to each his own, and I think this will suit me wonderfully.
