Logitech WingMan Rumble Pad


WingMan Rumble Pad

Manufacturer: Logitech

Price: $29.99 (US)

Review Date: 10-21-00



It started with the InterAct HammerHead FX (or the PlayStation Rumble Pad if you count consoles)- force effect gamepads.  I would not consider any gamepad force-feedback because it implies that there is some type of resistance to movement.  Instead, these gamepads offer rumble effects that correspond to actions in the game.  It may be directional but does not effect the control surfaces in any way.  A force-feedback wheel or stick offers feedback in the sense that the wheel or stick "fights back".  A subtle difference but one worth mentioning.

The WingMan pad is the first rumble effect controller to loose the need for an external power source.  All the power needed to drive the two rumble effect motors in the handles of the controller is pulled off the universal serial bus (USB).  This means that only one cable is needed and no batteries are required.  This also lightens the load of the controller making it easier to handle.
