Force feedback on gamepads

Logictech just announced a few days ago that they are not making anymore gaming periphirals for systems.

Ya you're right...

Logictech is my favorite alternate to Microsoft hardware. At least I can still buy their keyboard and mice in the future. I do have a wireless Logictech keyboard.

I used a PS2 controller with usb adapter. Force Feedback worked.
I'm sure on your PS3 controller it didn't worked because of MotioninJoy, not because the controller.

Later I wanted a wireless controller. I tested the XBox controller, but the d-pad was terrible (who had the idea to make a d-pad that works like a third analog stick?). Then I switched to PS3 controller with MotioninJoy. It worked long times, but then the MotioninJoy server was down for some days and the program don't work if the server is down.
Then I bought a PC-PlayStation-STRIKE-Wireless-Gamepad from Speedlink. It works perfect without that I need to install a 3rd party driver. But I don't remember if force feedback worked or not with that controller.

The problem with "PC" gamepads is, they don't live long for some reason. I had 3 different gamepads, 3 different companies, 3 different prices. None of them survived over a year of gaming. My PS2 pad I got back in 2002 is still alive and kicking without any side effects.

Also, personally, Logitech = never again, for anything.

Not sure how long my Xbox 360 controller for windows will last. It's over 2 years old and still works exactly the same as when I bought it.

Yeah, that's because it's an Xbox controller, it was made with constant gaming in mind - heavy duty. To me it looks like PC controllers are made with casual use in mind, since most PC gamers rarely use a gamepad.

Btw, could you give me the nico link of that awesome sig of yours? ;o

Exactly. Why should I have to start it every time the PC boots? You don't have to install the drivers every time you plug in hardware, you plug it in and it works. With the DS3 driver, you're forced to start the program at least once per boot, because the creator wants you to open the ad-filled page. The rest of the "software" works pretty half-assedly too. Settings are often not saved and it resets to ps1 analog mode. Or, my favorite, you set it to PS3 mode, enable analog and the pad disconnects. But the DS tool still thinks it's there! Yay!

Hey if you know of a better program with plug and play feature I'm all for it, I tried several different programs but motionjoy is closest to plug and play I could find. Also vibration works just fine with it, I've been playing Devil May Cry 5 now for a few days.

All of you saying that vibration works with FFXIV is getting me excited. I'm going to reinstall my drivers and start up FFX.... Awwwww......

Hurry up and get here BETA! lulz!

Aww. That's too bad. I'm pretty happy with the F710 and have been using it for about 2 years now.

I think I'll buy a replacement this weekend before they get scare. I'd like to have another one in case mine ever stops working.

I'm sorry if my post came off as an attack on you, I'm just allergic to sloppily written software. You are right that it's the closest that comes to a complete package atm, so I'm stuck with it just like almost everyone else. If Sony wasn't an a-hole, they'd just provide official drivers, but that ain't happening.
