Logitech G F710 Wireless Gamepad, 2.4 GHz Wireless with USB Nano-Receiver, Controller Dual Vibration Feedback, 4 Switch D-Pad, PC – Grey/Black

Solid controller, after a bit of setup
After years of use and abuse, my F510’s left stick finishing came apart and now feels weird in the hand, so I decided to give wireless a go.Reading the multiple reviews stating problems with windows 10, I decided to give it a go and see what all the problems are, I am a systems admin by trade after all… low and behold, I plugged in the nano receiver to a front usb, removed the battery sticker and the remote was up and playing madden 21 (yes, I know) within seconds. No problems with windows 10, shows right up under devices.For some reason the logitech gaming software I use for my mouse doesn’t show this device AND the nano receiver for the mouse won’t pickup the controller, kind of makes the point of “universal” nano receivers a bust as I need them both plugged in to separate usb ports.Now the one issue I had to tackle, the range… AWFUL! I am literally seated two feet away and at same height from my gaming pc box, with the receiver in the front and this thing lags, doesn’t recognize most double clicks and drops connection, that’s just piss poor. I finally figured out what the usb wire extender was in the box for, lol. I ran the extender from the box, under my keyboard and directly in front of me with the nano receiver on it, now BAM remote is no longer laggy and behaves just like the F510, except heavier (rechargeable batteries help out alot here instead of the included duracells) and without the wires and with much weaker vibration. For 30 bones you can’t go wrong here. –> awGuru.comPros -> Wireless, no setup required, seems durable as alwaysCons -> Laggy if not setup as above, weak vibration compared to F510

Works well with some minor headaches
I’ve been using one of these for game development work for about 3 years, and it works pretty well most of the time. The dongle is small enough to safely leave installed as a laptop goes into a bag, and the software from Logitech to map the inputs for games that don’t officially support gamepads is quite versatile.One really nice feature of the F710 for me is that I play (and mod) Elders Scrolls IV (Oblivion) and V (Skyrim), and this unit has a switch on the side to change between DirectX and XBox modes. Oblivion supports (mostly) DirectX inputs, and I use Logitech’s driver to map the inputs as I prefer. Skyrim supports the XBox mode directly.I like the feel of this, relatively solid and substantial to grip, and I find the size and layout to be comfortable for long testing sessions. The battery life is quite good; I’m a fairly serious modder, and I typically get 2~4 months on one set of batteries.The only problems I have observed are these:1. The driver occasionally will fail to detect the gamepad initially, and you have to run a special (free download) “detection tool” that Logitech provides. I had all kinds of trouble with this initially, but in more recent driver versions, I haven’t experienced this issue for quite some time (maybe a year or so). In any case, Logitech’s special detection tool seems to clear the problem if it does occur, and it is now thankfully very rare.2. The range of the transceiver is very short, but okay unless you are sitting quite far from the game system. One caveat is that if you use it (as I do) with a metal-cased laptop, and hold the F710 in your lap, the laptop itself may provide enough shielding to make the signal unreliable. I solve this by holding the control up, just below keyboard level, and it works fine.3. In both Oblivion and Skryim, the left stick does a poor job of moving diagonally. Front/back/left/right are fine, but it seems to go very slowly on diagonals unless you set the sensitivity to be pretty “hot”. I’m a middle-aged guy with slow reflexes, so this isn’t such a huge problem for me, but a 20-something friend of mine found it to be annoying.I wore out one of these, and bought another, because although it’s not perfect, it overall works well for me and is a good value for a modest price.

Lo usó principalmente para jugar con emuladores de videojuegos hasta la sexta generación de consolas en una laptop con Kubuntu 20.04.El sistema operativo lo reconoció de inmediato en ambas funciones (direct input y Xinput).Los botones se sienten duros al principio, pero inmediatamente te acostumbras, los botones laterales hacen click al presionarlos y los gatillos se sienten bien. El control direccional es preciso y los controles análogos son como los de las consolas de Sony. La vibración va desde suave a muy intensa dependiendo del juego y como lo configures con los distintos emuladores. Se siente pesado por las baterías AA que utiliza, pero con el tiempo te olvidas de ello. El diseño es muy ergonómico, se ve que está diseñado para las partidas largas. Los plásticos son buenos, me se ha caído un par de veces y sólo ha sido el puro susto.Recomiendo que el conector inalámbrico esté siempre “visible” para el control, si es posible, usar la extensión USB que viene incluido para mejor recepción. me siento a 2 metros de mi laptop que está conectado a la televisión y el lag es casi nulo, durante varias horas de juego al día se desconecta una o dos veces por un segundo. Un detalle positivo es que puedes guardar el conector USB dentro del compartimiento de las baterías.Llevo semanas con el control y aún las baterías con las que vinieron con el dispositivo siguen funcionando.Este dispositivo es de lo mejor que he probado, sólo superado por los controles originales del Xbox y PS4. Incluso funciona sin problemas en un PS3 (modo D-input) y en juegos con un teléfono android (debes usar un adaptador OTG).

Nota-se o cuidado até com a textura dos elementos, para melhor pegada. O controle vem cheirando carro novo, talvez por causa da parte emborrachada, um delícia. Vou esconder dos meus sobrinhos quando vierem aqui, eles que usem o controle velho com fio, esse é bom demais.
