Bij FiringSquad hebben ze twee "motion sensing gamepads" getest, de Microsoft "Sidewinder Freestyle Pro" en de nieuwe Logitech "Wingman Gamepad Extreme". Als jij een gamer bent die zijn gamepad heen en weer beweegt tijdens een potje Need for Speeden kan dit wel in je voordeel werken. Check de review hier.
There were couple of design aspects that the Freestyle has over the Wingman. First of all, the Freestyle is heavier and just feels more solid in your hands. The Wingman by comparison feels a touch too light, but not quite flimsy. Secondly, the D-pad on the Wingman is far too squishy. To Logitech's credit, the Freestyle isn't all that much better; I have yet to find a PC d-pad that matches a Nintendo controller for overall feel, save for the old Gravis 4-button pad. Bottom line is that neither of these D-pads are anything to write home about, but the MS does have a slight advantage. It gives better tactile feel, thanks to a longer travel distance when you press it. Thank goodness that neither of them emulated the horrible 4 button separated design of the Playstation controllers.
