Verdict

Overall: A good, customisable controller, but the rumble feature is poorly supported

Emil Larsen, Personal Computer World 14 Nov 2007

Xbox 360 controllers work fine with PCs and many new Games For Windows titles support them natively.

It's therefore a shame that the Cyborg Rumble can't take advantage of this. Instead you're left to configure it manually, which can be done extensively. Disappointingly, hardly any games support its rumble feature.

Other that that, it's comfortable for large hands to hold, although smaller ones may struggle. Furthermore, a precision mode lets you quickly activate a customised sensitivity mode for sniping and the like.

The left D-pad and joystick can be flipped out and rotated to mimick a Playstation or Xbox controller and the buttons and variably-sensitive triggers are top quality.
