All of these pads come with the software to get them up and running. Logitech bundles in a couple of utilities you can easily get off the Internet for free as well (the likes of GameSpy Arcade, for instance).

All three are constructed well, and we suspect the overwhelming majority of people would be perfectly contented with the wired Rumblepad 2 Vibration Feedback USB. Nonetheless, that wireless device is also worth a go. Both are excellent gaming devices, but we suspect the Precision USB Pad is a false economy.

Me? I've got some more football to go and play. Reckon the pad must be broken, though, because I can't score for toffee...
