Item condition:
Like new, only used it a couple of times.  Bought it to play the PC game Prince of Persia.

Reason for selling:
Not using it anymore, taking up space.

Force-feedback info:
I bought this to play Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and although there wasn't an option for enabling rumble ingame the controller worked well enough for me.  The driver CD comes with trial software that enables rumble (force feedback) in games, but the software uses sound feedback to initiate vibration and it's not very effective IMO.  Using the software is not required for rumble as I have tried and tested this out in Need for Speed: Underground 2.  NFSU2 only vibrates the right motor (leaves me to believe it supports controllers with only 1 rumble motor).  I’m assuming as long as the game has an option to enable force-feedback in it rumble should work.

Vista support:
Vista loads a basic driver when it's plugged in.  All the gamepads functions are present except for vibration.  But by accident I found out how to enable force-feedback in Vista, and I’m providing the steps here. ***NOTE: Do NOT attempt this if you are unsure of what is being done, rather get someone who can help.  I accept no responsibility through improper use of the information below***
The steps are:
Go into Device Manager > Human Interface Devices.
Locate the default Vista driver for the gamepad, called “HID-compliant game controller”
Right-click it and choose Update driver.
Go through the tabs/options where it allows you to choose Driver Location.  Browse to the
driver cd > drivers > Win2000_XP folder, and choose the USBGAME file.
After selecting and installing it you will probably have to reboot, do so.
Go back into Device Manager.  You should now see that the new gamepad driver is highlighted as not functioning (has exclamation sign).
Highlight/Select it, and then delete it (***make sure it’s the gamepad device you are deleting***)
Now there should be no gamepad devices listed.  Use the Scan for New Hardware icon and Vista should load the old “HID-compliant game controller”.
But now if you go to the Gamepad section in Control Panel, and bring up the properties of the gamepad you will see a new tab called “Vibration Test” (which wasn’t there with there the first time).
I tried NFS:U2 in Vista and rumble was present ingame.
