Strengths: Very easy to install without messing up other programs.
Weakness: Kind of hesitant when tried to set it up for TW 2006 but, it maybe the human instead of the toy.
It works fine, even with EA Sports Tiger Woods 06. The only difficulty is that you have to work on setting up the controller for the specifics of the game which makes it a little discouraging. I wish there was software to set it up for the golf game! Maybe in the future!
Strengths: Ergonomic (PS2-style), 10 ft Cord, Fast Response, Fan
Weakness: Bulky (sometimes)
This is the best analog gamepad available for the PC, period. Granted, that's not saying much... but I use this pad for Stepmania (PC version of Dance Dance Revolution), and it has the most accurate response that you'll ever going to get from your buttons. Most of all, when I'm button mashing away on a ten-footer song, the fan is a godsend. The two analog sticks can be better though. Madden 2005...
Strengths: Fan, ergonomic, 10 ft cord length
Weakness: Fan Life, Analog control stick movement
Link to the controller. www.nyko.com/nyko/prod... This controller has vents and a fan to keep your hands cool. Reason I bought it. My experience with this controller has not been good. I want to let everyone know how I feel about it. The buttons all have a good feel to them and it is very ergonomic. It also has a long 10 foot cord which is a plus. The controller worked pretty good at first. The...
Strengths: 13 buttons, PS2-style, X-Box-feel, 10 ft Cord, Fan
Weakness: Some keys have slow response
I am not a serious gamer, and my first NYKO Air Flo was quickly returned because it triggered the pause button so easily when I was playing NBA 2004 (before someone told me it had 2 extra buttons under the analog control). Once I got to know why "pause" was triggered (by button 12 under left analog control which I rolled very hard to swing my player running around), I realized how hard it has...
Strengths: Comfortable. Lots of buttons.
Weakness: Looks...odd...to say the least.
Well I was in dire need of a controller for my PC and gave this one a shot. Honestly, Im very glad I did. When you first look at it it reeks of gimmick but it does work and fills a need you never knew you had. The software is good, response is good, and since its much like a ps2 stick, its familiar to most. My only knock on it is the looks but those shouldnt really matter but so much since youre...
Strengths: fan
Weakness: uncomfy grip
This controller makes my computer crash playing Madden 2006. The grip is unsatisfactory. The fan doesn't cool your hand down very much. I wish I had not bought this one.
Strengths: The fans, comfortable, affordable
Weakness: no vibration
I bought this to play Madden NFL 07 on my computer because I can't use QB Vision Control with keyboard (it requires a second analog stick). My concern was that I have sweaty palms and other kinds of gamepads (like PS2, Xbox) made me feel very uncomfortable. The fans solved the problems by cooling my hands and/or evaporating the perspiration. I have average hands and the gamepad is just right, not...
Strengths: Good analog sticks, easy for kids and ahrd to break. :)
Weakness: None
The airflo is better than the Logitect rumble pad in my opinion, very easy to use. The fan is a little loud but no to bad, ussaly I don't even use it, no need.
Strengths: easy to install, long USB cord, cooling fan, working great
Weakness: not quite comfortable, a little bulky
The design of cooling fan is really good, which can always keep my hands dry. However, the gampad is some how bulky and not quite comfortable to hold. In some games I have to set up the controller, and it is a little annoying. I am only a casual gamer, and I don't want to spend much money on a gamepad. Considering the low price and the good performance, I am quite satisfied.

The Air Flo EX’s fan is a great way to keep your palms from sweating. But the real gem is the Mac key-mapping software.

Exceptional
Strengths: Initially i thought i wouldn't use the fan, but then i started playing with it and i use it all the time. It is surpisingly easy to program too.
Weakness: It's hard to use with any games that require any reflexes, such as: bf2(battle field 2),star wars battle front 2, and any other games that are simmilar to those.
I bought it initially for bf2(battle field 2), but it was very chalenging to use. Then i tried it on halo, and it was terrific, even on the multiplayer. It would be excellent for games simmilar to halo, and if you can stand the initial frustration than you might be able to use it on some of the larger games. -=tom909=- (bf2)
