Customer Reviews of Gravis Xterminator Digital Game Pad (PC/USB Mac)
Excellent!! No doubt the best PC gamepad ever manufacturered I only wish that Gravis will get it through their heads and design a new gamepad based off of this one. No gamepad has neared it's quality. I just wish these were still manufactured! :(
The reviewer directly below this review incorrectly states that the gamepad can only do 4-way directional instead of 8-way. When in fact it does both. The software for this gamepad allows you to configure both the d-pad and the analog stick to work as an 8-way or 4-way.
If anyone from Gravis is reading this, please hear me out!!
Amazing Control Pad, but...
I agree with everything said above, but the only downside is that the control stick only goes 4 dir., not the 8 dir. (U,D,L,R,UL,UR,DL,DR)
Good hardware, crap software
The Xterminator Digital is one cool gamepad. It could be slightly more ergonomic, but is really no less so than most gamepads on the market. The gamepad has more buttons and controls than any other gamepad I've ever seen and can be used to control anything from an arcade hockey game to a flight simulator.
It's a shame, then, that Gravis can't support it with usable software. The software is plain bad: It has a skin that doesn't fit within a 640x480 resolution screen, so if you happen to want to use it on a kiddy computer, you're out of luck. The skin is a memory hog. The control program itself runs sporadically; sometimes it will support your programmed commands within a game and sometimes it won't. The installation instructions are useless and it is a trial-and-error process to get the software to work at all. Plus, Gravis is terrible about providing updates. The original software was incompatable with DirectX 7 and it was months before a fix was available. The latest software seems to work with DirectX 8, but is still a memory hog. I've given up on Gravis and am currently looking for another gamepad.
