Product ReviewsLogitech F310 (940-000110) Gamepad

Really solid 360 pad alternative.

Not much to be said about the F310, it's an endlessly serviceable, reasonably durable, quite comfortable controller. Face buttons, start/select, and bumpers are excellent, d-pad is good, stick position is a matter of taste but they're good sticks, and the triggers... are a matter of taste. Good travel and action but slightly sharp edges.

The corded design is preferred to save on batteries and input latency, and the cable is... long enough for desk use, but buy a USB extender for TV use. It's a durable pad; I bought this to replace my last F310, age 8. A word on the re-certified condition; despite claiming previous ownership, the controller is crisp like it's new, the buttons are all working great and it has not a scuff. If yours does run into wear and tear as my old one did, seven screws make it easy to take down. My one non-complaint is the lack of rumble, it's not too important to me, but it would be really nice if they knocked the F510 out of existence and incorporated rumble into the F310 without much of a price raise, then it'd be the definitive 360 alternative.

For $23 CAD it's a great buy. Read full review...

Would be perfect except for one big problem

I have the Logitech precision game pad as well and really liked it, so I decided to get the dual action because it's basically the same design but with dual analog (and the analog sticks also count as two extra buttons, just like the playstation controllers). I am not sure if it's just the particular unit that I received but it feels like there is noticeable latency compared to the old precision game pad. The lack of response makes the controller useless to me b/c I play a lot of classic platformer and shooter games on emulator, and I am just not getting the performance I need from the controller. I then got the newer Logetich F310 and that one works a lot better. I wish the Dual action worked better though because I like the sturdy feel of the shoulder buttons. For those considering a Logitech controller, I would stick to the old precision gamepad for games that don't need analog controls and use the F310 for modern games.Read full review...

Logitech F310, cheap and useful.

The F310 is not best controller out there, but it's a good one with it's quirks. I wanted a controller that can I can use on the PC and the PS3, without coughing up a lot of money, and this is what I found. I going to take about the bad parts first cause the good outweigh the bad. The d-pad is half ass, better than Xbox 360's bullshit d-pad, but not great; Feels loose. The triggers are responsive, but are rather small; Wish they can be bigger. Last, the colored buttons are also responsive, but feel flat. I basically have to reach for them. Now on to the good parts. Thumbsticks are great, feel like the PS3 thumbsticks. The grip is big and ergonomic, feels like the best of the PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers. Start, back or select, and mode all work. What mode does is switch the controls from the left thumbstick to the d-pad, but there is no need to do that as the d-pad is inferior to the thumbstick anyways. There is a switch on the back that has X on the left and D on the right; X is for PC, and D is for PS3 and Xbox 360, Wii doesn't work. I have never used the button in the middle, nor got it to work. I pressed it on a PS3, and it did nothing. The cord on this is longer than the standard PS3 cord, so don't worry about pulling on the wire or repositioning your couch. It also has no rumble or dualshock feature, but there is a controller that Logitech made called the F510, almost the same as this controller, but has dual rumble features. All in all, this is a nice controller, but not one to be proud of.Read full review...

Simple but effective. Few frills. Does what it should, and nothing else.

The gist: This controller is very similar to a Playstation controller, and that's not a bad thing. Lacks a rumble feature, but the feature-rich (albeit slightly clunky) Logitech Profiler utility gives this controller great accessibility, functionality and enables the creation and usage of macro multiple-button-press commands. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ The install: Works great, drivers were installed automatically by Windows (7, in my case) so install was a snap. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ The review: Overall, this is a good basic-but solid and affordable (I paid $16 for mine)-controller. What it lacks in extra hardware features is more than made up for with the Logitech Profiler software utility. The sensitivity is good, a lot of games use this controller natively, and it just plain works like you'd expect a Playstation controller to-albeit, with no vibration/rumble/haptic feedback feature. In those rare instances when a game doesn't natively support this controller, Logitech has a slick little program called Logitech Profiler (which is a free download on the Logitech website if your seller doesn't include software with your purchase) that is very much like xpadder, in that lets you create a custom keymap profile for each game you choose, and will even automatically launch the appropriate profile when a game with a saved profile is opened-you can even create macros using the utility. Logitech Profiler is slightly clumsy compared to xpadder, but since it's dedicated to the F310 you don't spend the extra time setting the utility up for your particular gamepad-so no hunting down images of your controller, and then telling the program what buttons the controller has. All you have to do is map what keys do what and you're set. I took some points away from the the Logitech Profiler software utility for the grab-your-glasses small text in Logitech Profiler, and for the utility's slightly cumbersome nature-for example, you have to "record" even single keystrokes before you can assign them to the controller, but this "record" procedure is what enables the F310 to perform macro functions-it's a tradeoff-more functionality at the expense of simplicity. I found the tradeoff acceptable, but others may be turned off by it. Either way, xpadder, of course, still works with the Logitech F310. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ The good: Simple, familiar button layout, Swiss-army Logitech Profiler software, darn good price on eBay. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ The not-so-good: Simple, slightly clumsy Logitech Profiler software, small text in Logitech Profiler software, no rumble. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ The bottom line: It doesn't exactly swim in added bells and whistles, but this controller's simplicity is what makes it good-and the free Logitech Profiler software makes it even better.Read full review...

This is a great controller for pretty cheap! You should buy one!!

I bought this product because I've had mixed results using my DS3 pads for my computer. I have children and they tend to be rough on the PS controllers, so when I use them on my PC they would have erratic ticks, or lack of responsiveness.

This controller has been a joy. It is similar in design to the DS3, which is a huge plus, and in xinput mode (switch in the X position on the back of the controller) it behaves just like a XBox 360 controller (which is great for compatibility with current games). The very few issues I have are lack of rumble feedback (I want a F510, but those are increasingly hard to come by, and I don't want to feed batteries to a F710) and some odd contouring on the chassis up under where the LB/RB and LT/RT are. It's a rather steep curve under that surface that is a slight uncomfortable after long periods of time for my large hands. However, the controller generally feels great, the buttons are smooth and responsive, and all the analogues are excellent (both joysticks and triggers).

While I prefer a straight up DS3 clone or a DS3 over the layout of the XBox 360 controller, I do love the compromise this one brings. And since I was using a software emulator to use the DS3 as a XBox 360 controller anyhow for compatibility, there was less setup than normal to get this working for all my games.Read full review...

This controller will not last you, spend your money elsewhere.

This controller is almost the greatest USB PC controller that exists. Almost. The button layout is astounding, the D-Pad is responsive, and the size is perfect, however...

I have owned two different Logitech F310 controllers in my life, as well as one of the Logitech Dual Action controllers, which is the predecessor of the F310. I treat my controllers with respect and dignity - that is to say that I do not get mad and throw them around, run over the cords with chair wheels by accident, or even transport them in a way that could be considered harmful, yet, every wired Logitech controller I have owned has died to the same fate - wire shorts.

This may be a bit technical for the average user, but these controllers, and I assume every wired controller that Logitech produces, uses the bare minimum in terms of parts. The four wires that power and transfer data for this controller are as thin as possible, and made of either steel or aluminum, not copper. Copper wire can handle more stress, both physical and electrical, than steel or aluminum wiring. There's problem number 1.

The second problem is that the actual contacts on the printed circuit board (PCB for short, I'll be using this acronym for the remainder of this review) are shoddily done. If you have ever opened up a high quality electronic device, you'll notice that the bottom is typically covered in sharp points; needles, almost. This is the result of mechanical soldering after the leads have been dragged through the PCB to be securely soldered not only on top of the board, but also soldered and brought to a reliable point on the bottom, to ensure that the connection does not break. Opening the F310 gamepad, however, will reveal that the contacts have been BARELY soldered to the top of the board only. The slightest bit of stress near this point - no matter how unlikely you or Logitech must have thought such stress would be - will break these leads. I have tried to repair this issue before: there is no repairing the controller if this happens to you.

Logitech boasts a "3 year limited warranty" for this product, but don't be fooled. They expect you to have kept your original purchase receipt for the duration of the warranty, and also expect you to send them the controller so that they can review the damage done - you pay the shipping. Since this is ebay, any of us who have sold larger items know that the shipping cost for a controller of this weight and size is nearly half the price of the controller itself. I don't know about you, but I have no place for being given the runaround by a company for the "warranty" on a product like that.

Since I've never had any issue with the sticks or buttons breaking over time like I have with the Snakebyte and PowerA controllers, I think it's safe to say that even though Logitech cut corners on literally every other part of this controller, they've got quality pads underneath those buttons. Since my only qualm with this controller is that the wiring dies within six months of purchase, I suggest spending the extra money to go with the wireless F710, it even has rumble. Wireless Logitech products I own have amazing battery life, so I wouldn't worry too much about that, especially if you turn the rumble off.

Long story short - take your money to another product, either a wireless controller or an Xbox 360 controller.Read full review...

F310 Gamepad

My gamepad was used but it came looking brand new. All the buttons work perfectly, no sticking or anything like that. The same with the triggers and bumper. My husband actually thought the controller was brand new 😅 it came before the estimated delivery date and I couldn't be happier with it. I use it for my Windows 10 PC, just plug and play with no problems. Makes gaming sooo much more fun than keyboard and mouse!!Read full review...

Perfect after adjustment.

It's nearly a perfect PC or Raspberry Pi game controller, the D-pad is 4 buttons underneath for more accurate movement and control. Much better than all other controller D-pads. The one I got had to be opened and adjusted to fix a dragging right trigger button. The packaging is just an envelope with a controller in it. I was worried that the joysticks could be damaged during transit but it came in perfect like new condition, except the mechanical problem with the trigger. Someone else might send it back for that, but I thought it was a great bargain and recommend it to others. Read full review...

I love this controller!

I have a few merchandise from Logitech, but very grateful for this game control! I managed to quickly get to the Logitech site, find the driver needed, download, hooked up the controller to my laptop, and it works just fine. Took me only 10 mins or less to install! The controller looks a lot like your console controllers; the buttons have a nice clear look to it which i love, the joysticks very easy to use for move abilities, special buttons in the back, comfortable to grip and ready to play~ I loved that I was able to check through the menu functionality test to see if everything was okay! If this controller has a vibration mode that I don't know about, that would be epic...! *^*)/) 👌 I have windows 10. Thank you for making my gaming life easier! ~ :DRead full review...

Lackluster and definately not a high point for Logitech.

Not impressed. Directional accuracy and overall feel of d-pad is poor. Sticks are more rounded than I'd hoped - they looked flat to me in picture and concave ones are superior anyway. The four main buttons are nice..I wish 360 controllers had this style. All in all, another failed attempt to find a USB connected PC controller that's actually worth using. The last decent one I bought required a PC game port and my current PCs don't have that ancient connector. I've also tried numerous X360 controllers and none of them come close to the options you get in the PS3 realm. The best I've found so far is a PowerA EX for PS3 than has partial PC support and can be found at Wal-Mart. You'll have to mess around in most games and set up every function manually, and some games will have odd issues that make the PowerA virtually unusable with that game (Street Fighter X Tekken is one I know of).Read full review...
