Sacred 2 Fallen Angel Collector's Edition - UK
Product Details
Customer Reviews
Useless to me...
The single player version of this game has no pause feature whatsoever. That makes this completely unplayable to me, due to my life interruptions. Bummer. I was really looking forward to this game. Plus the DRM kind of sucks, but I could have lived with it. Oh well...
NOTHING IS SACRED ANYMORE...
The original Sacred was a great game that, although not exactly groundbreaking, it offered many hours of action-cRPG fun. What is more, its publisher had the good sense to price it reasonably from the start and thus fight piracy in the most effective way.
SACRED 2, although enjoys more demanding environmental graphics and spell effects, is just another victim of clueless gaming industry executives. Instead of learning from the history of their own game, they'd rather idiotically jump on the "SecuROM/Limited Activations" bandwagon. After all, if they can hide behind the "everyone is doing it" excuse, who can blame them when the game does poorly?
They are obviously under the illusion that selling at full price a game that is actually RENTED will fail to be...noticed! Respect is a two way street - and underestimating gamers' intelligence is not a good start.
It is a shame that SACRED 2 got shot in the foot by its own publisher. Now, instead of being another success, it will simply be another game sacrificed on the alter of corporate Greed and marketing incompetency.
AVOID.
Excellent RPG
Sacred 2 is a well-rounded RPG game where you can play solo or join the great online community. [...] The game is fun, fast-paced and can be especially challenging if you play hard core (die permanently). Each region of the huge map has a 'boss' monster. These range from dragons to machines. [...] Online playing with others is free and extremely well run. There's a Sacred 2 Wiki section that shows all the characters, equipment and mounts available. [...]
Two versions of the game are available: the Collector's Edition includes the ability to have better graphics and a Multi-player in-game Imp who carries your stash chest where ever needed. It's a really fun feature.
I highly recommend this game to RPG players

Excellent!!
I've used joysticks for gaming since the Atari age in the good ol' days, and I know many different models and what they can (and can't do), and this one most definitely takes the prize of the best joystick ever. Not only it's well designed (the base won't flip over as in many other models I know) but it also looks way cool!. Besides, the smart design of the stick makes it fully adjustable -and comfortable- for both right and left handed (I'm left handed and I constantly feel discriminated by the so-called "ergonomic" designs). The force feedback feature is also another highlight in this model, as it can truly kick you off from your seat if set to full power. Don't be afraid, as you can tweak the intensity to your liking. A must for true flight simulators, when you want to "feel" the plane.
Before buying it I was afraid it would be too fragile to support my wrath after being shot down, or it wouldn't support the strong evasive actions when fighting to dodge bullets, but I was definitely wrong. The metals and plastics used in this one are high-quality and quite strong, despite how fragile it might look.
Deifinitely recommendable.
Not perfect but close
Force feedback could have been a little stronger...I also noticed that even though it's supposed to be self calibrating it tends to ride very slightly up and to the left when centered...I compensated for this by increasing my null zones in my flight sims...very good product overall though.
Very poor at fine control..........
Yes, It's adjustable
Yes it has pretty blue lights.
But that's it on the "pro" list.
This stick has one very very major drawback if you are using it as a "Flight-stick":
The deadband around the neutral point is HUGE.
So, starting with no pressure on the stick - you make a fine correction by pushing / pulling and......nothing happens.
So you push / pull a little more and......nothing happens.
By now you've moved the stick-top a full 1cm, and THEN you get a reaction, or rather an over-reaction. By now it's too late.........
I've tackled Saitek at length about this issue, but they insist that it's normal. There are other issues like the wandering rudder, which can be cured in the short-term by editing the registry, but this excessive deadband has no fix.
If you fly flight/combat simulators I suggest you avoid this stick at all costs.

Saitek GM1 Game Mouse

Customer Reviews
RIP OFF
Dont buy this mouse. I payed 8 dollars for it, and that was to much. It has a ball on the bottom that does not work, you just cant use it. It moves left but not right. horrible. please dont by it.
4-way hat switch rules!
The 4-way hat switch is why I love this mouse. I play a lot of games and with that switch I can control all of my movement with the mouse (set the hat switch to forward, backward, strafe left and right), leaving my left hand and all the keyboard keys including wasd free for other things (abilities, weapons, etc.)
Other reviewers have given negative reviews to this because its a ball mouse and has the associated problems with a ball mouse (rollers getting dirty, clogged and stuck), but if you know how to take the ball out and clean the rollers, this mouse will give you many years of good performance. I've actually had one for about 10 years now and am writing this review as I search Amazon for another one because I've worn out the hat switch.

Saitek GM2 Action Pad & Game Mouse
Product Details
Features
Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
Saitek's GM2 Action Pad and Game Mouse is the first gamepad-mouse combination developed specifically for gamers. The GM2 removes the limitations placed by clumsy, complicated keyboard commands. Instead, it incorporates both a gamepad, designed for the left hand, and a mouse, designed for the right hand. It comes complete with Saitek Gaming Extensions (SGE) software, which allows the user up to 40 programmable commands through an easy-to-use Windows interface.
The GM2 gives an abundance of easy-access control options. The gamepad features six programmable buttons for fingertip control, an eight-way hat switch for fast navigation, a thumb wheel for 3-D rotation, and, of course, a shift key. In addition to the usual left and right buttons, Saitek's mouse has a scroll wheel for zooming in and out and a four-way hat switch right underneath the thumb.
During installation of the GM2, the Saitek's Smart Technology recognizes the games already installed on your computer and automatically associates pre-written profiles for each one. This means that when you start up a game, the GM2 automatically loads the perfect profile for that game. And when you get to know your GM2, you can start creating your own personal profiles using the Smart Technology software. The software offers abundant programming capabilities and the ability to associate several commands to a single button press, delivering quicker responses and that important competitive edge.
GM2's gamepad connects to the computer via a USB cable, while the mouse connects to the gamepad via a telephone-type (RJ-45) cable. The GM2 is compatible only with PCs and requires a Pentium-class computer, Windows 98, Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (comes with GM2), DirectX 7.0a or higher (comes with GM2), 32 MB of RAM, a CD-ROM drive, and a USB port.
Saitek provides a one-year warranty on parts and labor for the GM2 Action Pad & Game Mouse.

Specialty pad for those keyboard PLUS mouse games
I bought this controller pair for a SPECIFIC reason: to play Soldier of Fortune competitively online. Player movement is enhanced due to the hat control used in conjunction with the mouse. My juke moves have caused a few opponents to accuse me of cheating, hee hee!
There are a lot of options controlled by the keyboard in this game, and nearly impossible to use thoroughly without taking your eyes off the screen (and almost certainly getting fragged). The programmable game pad solves this problem quite nicely, with a Shift key to double the button functions and macro capabilities as well. Oh, it fits your hand nicely, too. The wheeled mouse even has a 4-way POV thumb switch (in the heat of battle, I can't ever remember to use it though).
USB makes it a snap to connect (as the mouse connects to the gamepad itself, not your computer) and the gamepad has built-in storage for unused cord length. You can program (easily) to your heart's delight or use a large selection of pre-set profiles available on Saitek's webpage for your favorite games.
I can only get 4-way movement out of the "8-way" hat switch, or I'd rate it a five!! A nice value for TWO controllers, as the mouse will function ably with any software when connected, but still works side-by-side with an existing attached mouse, thus avoiding those annoying switch-outs.
Excellent concept- Falls far too short in its implementation
I was looking for something like this to play keyboard/mouse type of games (I'm a Diablo II junkie).
Unfortunately, the pad has the feel of a really cheap game pad (well, probably worse). Don't expect to use the pad's 8-way control or the mouse's 4-way button correctly. You should expect to get about half their functionality (4 and 2) - don't expect any accuracy if you try to use more.
If you're a Diablo II player (or play another game that requires the use of many keyboard buttons) don't expect this to fulfill your need to remove the keyboard completely from the gameplay; so if you want to replace the keyboard, look elsewhere - just not enough functionality here.
Excellent idea though and I really do like the idea of the mult-way button, but just very poor execution. I don't know how good Microsoft's implemention is, so I can't compare the two; however, my next step is to get a better mouse with some more functionality (ie 1 or 2 more programmable buttons).
Solid and fast responding
I was going to buy the Belkin hand pad, but found this one at a local retailer for really cheap. I figured for that price I could take the risk. Boy was I surprised! Not only was it worth more than I had anticipated, I couldn't game without it anymore. Once you figure out how to program the buttons, this little number is GREAT!!! Unfortunately, it is difficult getting this thing to work with the Cyborg Feedback joystick from Saitek.

Big game for big hands
As I read in other reviews, this mouse is pretty big. It works for me, because I have pretty big hands. The features are also pretty cool, like being able to switch DPI on the fly...very handy for FPS and other types of games.
I agree you should "feel" a mouse before you buy, but I didn't...and I wasn't disappointed. Also...the glowing Saitek logo (it changes colors like it's "pulsing") and the blue running lights along the side are a really good addition to my lighted case.
Big and Clunky >
Has lots of pretty lights and neat features, but you should really try this mouse in store before buying. Has adjustable dpi up to 3200...which is so fast I don't know what application it could be used for. I've gamed it up for years and anything over 1600dpi is unmanageable for me. I like the adjustable weight, and flip over teflon feet for more/less friction. The size of the mouse didn't bother me as much as the clunkiness of the buttons. I found the left click horrible after using a Logitech MX518 for a couple years. But everyone has their own opinion and my daughter loves it. (Probably because of the bling bling lights) :)
great product
This is a great mouse, i love the on-the-fly dps changer. It arrived faster than another product i bought through someone else. A+ transaction!

ONLY 2 THINGS COME OUT OF SAITEK
NOTHING QUEER ABOUT THIS STEERING WHEEL. ITS LOOKS MATCH ITS PERFORMANCE. IT RESPONDS MAGNIFICENTLY TO YOUR EVERY MOVE. I PURCHASED IT TO WORK WITH MY "NEED FOR SPEED III" CD. PERFECT MATCH. THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO THOUGH, IS CLEAR A GOOD SPOT ON THE FLOOR AND MAYBE GET JUST ONE ADHESIVE, OF YOUR OWN. THE SMALL PADS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH, BUT ONCE YOU GET IT DOWN, YOUR GOOD TO GO.
I highly recommend paying extra to get a better wheel!
I bought this wheel for a gaming rig I am building for a friend and went solely from the recommendations made from this site, which leads me to believe that no one that posted a review has ever had any experience with any other wheel.
First off, this wheel can only be configured as a 4-button, 2-axis joystick, which is easy enough to do but offers bad response times and terrible precision. Wheels that have specific drivers written for them have better control, hands down. My other complaint is that it uses the game port instead of a USB connection, which also slows down the response time of the wheel and other controls, but since this is a budget-priced product I can forgive that. Playing NFS: Porsche Unleashed with this wheel was frustrating to say the least, and after switching to a sidewinder game pad, I had better control by far. If you can drive better with a game pad instead of a wheel then there is something definately wrong with the wheel.
The other problems with this wheel are the small wheel size, which may cause problems with large-handed people, and the placement of the two buttons on the wheel, which can be hit very easily by accident, possibly causing problems if either are configured for a hand-brake or to view another direction. Also, the VERY light and small pedal base needs to be braced or weighted down somehow or it will slide all over the place (may work all right on carpet, but on a chair mat or any other smooth flooring will cause a problem). My last complaint is the quality (or lack there of) and flimsiness of the levers on the left and right behind the wheel, typically used for gear shifting up and down. I thought I was going to break these the first time I tested the wheel. The cheap plastic won't last long at all under heavy usage and it won't make you happy to have to wait for a warranty repair (though as cheap as this wheel is you will probobly just get another one).
If you want a quality wheel, you probobly won't be happy with this one. I suggest a USB port wheel, like the Thrustmaster Nascar Pro Digital, also available here, which is about as good as they come. Things to look for are a large heavy pedal base, a dual clamping wheel base (though the Saitek wheels' one clamp worked very well), and multiple configurable buttons on the wheel (two just doesn't cut it for most games and you will still be utilizing the keyboard), as well as a separate gearshift (unleass you prefere to always go automatic). I usually don't recommend a force-feedback wheel because all the ones I have tried become more annoying after a while and certainly don't immerse me into the game anymore than not using the force-feedback functions, but thats just me.
I hope this more detailed review helps you out with your purchase and have fun!
Awesome Wheel
This wheel is spectacular! It gives you awesome control and gives you a quick response. For $40 this is a steel.

Saitek J13 Cyborg 3D USB -> A total plug-play joystick
Last night I went out and bought the Saitek J13 Cyborg 3D(twist) *GOLD* joystick. I exchanged my "stupid" game boy color, for this beautiful joystick. I had been researching about this particular joystick for quite some time, and seeing, that it was better than the 2000 version, which has NO 3D twist, I choose the J13 3D model. It just so happens that the one they had at Software Etc. was the "New" gold version.... If you have a choice, get the gold version, #1 it looks better, and #2 it has drivers that are all up to date. You can still download these drivers, but I thought this was neater, because the newest driver download was 5 megs. The joystick performed very well on the games I have. I tryed it on Freespace 2, and it proformed great. It was a bit sluggish at times, this is probably because I didnt switch over to analog for Freespace 2. Thats another neat thing, the ability to switch between analog and digital. I also tested the joystick on Crimson Skies. It proformed very well on this, giving me the upper hand against all opponents. Before the joystick, I used the keyboard. My machine gun accuarcy on Crimson Skies, was 5%. With the Cyborg, it is now 45%. That is one hell of an increase. This is a joystick that is total plug and play. I inserted the disk, got the drivers off the disk. Restarted. Pluged it in. And made up some controls for my games, and voila, I was playing better than ever. This a much superior joystick to the sidewinders, because the joystick, has a feel like a piston. You feel like you are holding a German Made Weapon Of Mass Destruction. When you pull the trigger, a mechanical "Click" is heard. Satisfyingly all the buttons do the same thing. On other joysticks the buttons dont click and the stick has a plasticky junky feel. This stick is also non-sweat. Get sweaty palms when dogfighting? This stick is for you. It has a special coating that doesnt let sweat stick. Very nice! Over all this joystick is a must have for the flight enthusiastic person. It has the look of a preying-mantis, or an alien. It is a deadly piece of equipment, BUY IT...! IT IS WORTH IT! TRUST ME! AND DID I SAY LEFT HANDED PEOPLE CAN USE IT TO? THERE IS A SMALL TOOL THAT LETS YOU ADJUST EVERYTHING, VERY COOL! GET IT!, BE HAPPY!, DONT BE SAD!
WOOHOO!!! Bring it on!!
WOW! All I can say about this thing is that it ROCKS. I have never, EVER, been so fluid, and DANGEROUS, in Descent Freespace! OMG! Kill after kill, this thing never ceased to amaze me. Maybe it's my erm... unique (read: crazy) playing style, but the twisting, tumbling world of descent just feels so... right with this stick. Did I mention I was left handed? Well, It doesnt matter with this stick! Definitely its best feature. The program (Command Centre) doesn't come with the stick, tho... bummer. But, once downloaded, it ran with no problems.
Supreme concept, few flaws
Let's just call this bad boy the Cyborg, make's things a lot easier, and after a few missions on your favorite sims, you'll think it's an extension of your arm.
The Cyborg's primary feature and trademark is the nearly full customizability, not just of the buttons, but the action design and shape of the joystick itself. With an ingenious tool that fits snuggly and securely on the base, you can adjust the handrest according not only to the size of your hand, but accordingly to your left or right handedness. This is especially helpful for those long missions, reducing the strain on your hand muscles, and gives you the extra stability needed for fine control and precise maneuvers.
The thumb pad (home to three thumb-activated triggers and the hat-stick) is also customizable, with a forward-back tilt allowing it to adjust to your thumb length, and a left/center/right tilt to fit your particular preference and (again) handedness. (They really wanted to make the Cyborg fully usable by lefties... not a priority for me, but it may be for you.)
The Cyborg itself is molded with a rubberized plastic, offering a great grip, secure throughout the mission. Having a secure grip is especially useful, as you can actually rotate the stick itself (left and right), allowing fine rudder and turning control--a feature also useful in FPS gaming for strafing.
On the flip side, they may have taken the left/right-handedness thing too far, as the four buttons on the base (which I've used for targetting and weapons management) are inconvienently positioned for use in the middle of a dogfight. I want to be able to use my thumb, resting on the base, to manipulate the buttons by feel... not have to look down and tap them with my index finger.
Further, the advertised "16 programable functions" is something of an exaggeration, as they -must- be including the hat-stick in this measurement, and "shift" button which is again entirely inaccessable due to the would-be abidexterity of the stick. Still, I haven't had a problem finding space for the commands I really need, but I'm used to having extra buttons serving no purpose, not having to prioritize which I really need on the stick, and which I'll make do with the keyboard.
But against the measure of control, stability, and solid performance this stick offers, these complaints are small potatoes. I'd definitely recommend the Cyborg to anyone looking for a controller primarily-oriented towards flight sims, with secondary importance placed on FPSs.

If you're serious about racing on your PC, you'll want a serious racing wheel. While it may cost you a bundle, a high-end racing wheel should come with all the latest features, including force feedback. Saitek's R4 Force Wheel is such a product, using the same technology as the Microsoft Force Feedback Wheel, making it a remarkably similar product.
The R4 isn't the easiest peripheral to set up: in addition to the normal set-up activities--such as plugging in the pedals and hooking up the wheel to your PC's game port--you have to screw on the actual steering part of the wheel, snap on the crossbar, and attach the clamp. But Saitek threw in all the tools you'll need for setup (including a nifty adjustment tool that hides away in a storage compartment on the wheel), so you should be able to get the wheel up and turning in less than a half-hour.
The R4 boasts a slick design, and almost everything's adjustable, from the height of the wheel right down to the force required to push the pedals. The wheel itself features a comfortable rubberized grip, and the twin shift paddles are within easy reach. We had some trouble getting the right action button to register in our tests and games, but that was because it had been stuck in when the wheel arrived. After popping it out, we were ready to go.
So how's the force? Pretty darn good. The wheel includes a variety of realistic feedback actions, such as running over a pothole or smashing head-on into an oncoming vehicle. As with the rest of the wheel, you can easily adjust the Force Feedback levels.
At $150, this wheel ain't cheap. But if you envision yourself as the digital Jeff Gordon, you'll need to sit behind a wheel with all the virtual bells and whistles--and the R4's got 'em.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The Saitek P120 is a no-frills, no-nonsense game controller. Its sturdy design can take a beating and still perform time and time again. With four buttons, two triggers, and a comfy directional pad, the Saitek P120 is pleasantly ergonomic, with all of the buttons placed in easy reach.
One particularly nice touch is the P120's removable directional pad extension, which acts as a mini-joystick, making controlling the directional pad that much easier. Button response is quick, and the directional pad has perfect resistance. You'd be hard-pressed to find a comparable gamepad at this price.
Connecting to the 15-pin gameport plug, the Saitek P120 doesn't support USB. It doesn't include drivers, either, so installing the gamepad consists of manually configuring it using the Windows Control Panel. Once it's calibrated, it's ready to go. There are no game profiles or special configuration options here. Still, that doesn't detract from the Saitek P120's main ability--a durable grip and responsive control. This gamepad is sure to make your gaming life a little easier and more comfortable at a price that's sure to bring a smile to budget-minded gamers. --Dan Simpson

A Decent Game Pad
This Saitek controller is certainly a solid gamepad. The directional controller is a bit awkward, but you can get used to it. The action buttons are also a bit too stiff -- This pad is a decent deal for ten bucks, but the Interact Piranha is an overall better design (and cheaper).
The right price
I got this pad because it was cheap, it had the four buttons that I needed, and it was ergonomic. My hands are always very comfortable holding this controller, even when I've been gaming for the last few hours. The directional pad is very unique. There is a circular attachment that fits in the bottom of the controller to give you a standard d-pad. You can take this attachment out and plug it in to the center of the d-pad, making the d-pad higher and more like a joystick (as shown in the picture of the controller). I play with it almost exclusively like this. I haven't been able to use the triggers in the current EA Sports games that I've been playing, so count on four buttons. If you are looking for more options (buttons) in your games, I highly recommend upgrading to the six-button Microsoft USB Sidewinder Pro.
Great Action
When using this game pad for fast action racing, the response is excellent. I like to use the thumb stick that's included for racing, but the only problem is that the stick can become loosened if it's not put in well enough. When I finally screwed it in a bit hard it finally stayed. I've had a lot of fun with it.
