Logitech ChillStream Gamepad for PC (963435-0403) Review


The Logitech ChillStream Gamepad looks very similar to an XBox 360 controller in button and control placement. It feels a bit hollow, but that is because it has fans that blow air on your hands while you play. This air flow does help nicely when engaging in a long gaming session.

I use this controller on a Windows 7 (RC) machine, and I did not have to do anything special - plugged it in and it worked.

The size is a tad smaller than an XBox controller, and as an XBox owner, I could feel the difference, but it wasn't enough to cause any problems - just noticeable.

PROS: Works well, gives all the controls that one would find on a console controller. Fan does help cool the hands.

CONS: Feels a bit hollow due to the fans. USB cable instead of wireless.

OVERALL: I'd recommend this controller to anyone looking for a good "XBox style" controller for the PC.

Buy it here now!
