Installation, Performance:
It’s USB so it’s plug and play, I plugged it in on my Windows 7 64bit machine and it installed automatically and I was ready to go.
The controller works fine as is, but you can go to the Thrustmaster site and download their software to help you with the controller to program it. Well really it’s not that programmable from the software, if you’re lucky the game you’re playing will recognize it and let you change the buttons, but I didn’t find many that even recognized it.
I used the controller to play games of course but I found out that it doesn’t work with many really. The button in the center between the sticks does allow for better compatibility, but not that much.
Conclusion:
The F1 controller does work well for gaming, it’s sensitive and the build quality is nice, much nicer than I would expect for about $20.
The controller though is rather large and it’s wired, if you’re accustomed to Xbox controller then you’ll find this is quite a bit larger.
If you play a lot of racing games then you should be fine with this controller, but don’t expect it to work with many other games, and that’s it’s largest flaw really.
Pros:
+Programmable
+Comfortable
+Lots of buttons
Cons:
-Doesn’t work with many games really
