IN SHORT:
I use this as a WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL for itunes and media players as well as for gaming. The receiver, when plugged directly into your computer, tends to have issues with interference unless you are very close; this is resolved easily by using the expander and placing it away from sources of interference. Overall, a fantastic controller and (almost) fully programmable although some minor setbacks exist.
PROS:
-Can program different commands for EACH program! I use this gamepad as a wireless "remote" for iTunes, my media players, etc when I am away from my computer. (I output to my tv so this functionality is VERY useful)
-Programmable (EXTENSIVELY)
-Force Feedback
-Supports XInput and DInput (XInput = new standard, "auto detects" game settings; DInput = "old" standard; use this mode to program the buttons.
-Nice solid feel, buttons are crisp
-Good range, IF clear of interference (see cons)
NEUTRAL:
-When in DInput mode, it IS the rumblepad2 (or whatever Logitechs old "famous" controller was).
-In XInput, it detects as the F710 and is not programmable. (Must use the DInput to program)
CONS:
-Range suffers drastically from interference. When plugged into my pc directly, the signal failed when I was 3 feet away. However, I used the extension (that comes with it) and put the receiver on my desk and it works flawlessly from over 20 feet away in my kitchen now.
-Not all programmable functions seem to work right. In particular, I set the L/R triggers to CTRL+Up/Down in Itunes so that I could alter the volume. Although this works if bound to a different button, and the triggers work when bound to a different command, oddly enough the triggers would not work when bound to ctrl+up/down.
Unique Issue: I played "The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom" with this controller in Windowed mode and apparently windows does not recognize any input as going in. Don't get me wrong, the game worked fine, however every 5minutes my screensaver would kick in unless I moved the mouse or keyboard!! This has ONLY happened in this one game though so I am assuming it is a unique issue and not the fault of the gamepad.
Overall, highly recommended if you are looking for a gamepad for your PC; especially if you output things to your TV so you can use it doubly as a remote.

This new Logitech game controller is a natural evolution of my Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2. While the older model was mimicking PS2 controller style, F710 is a blend of current Xbox 360 and PS3 models.
The overall build quality is what's expected from a good Logitech product. It feels sturdy and heavy enough, while provides comfort with soft plastic grips. The buttons and sticks are responsive, and miniature wireless receiver is a great plus. My only complaint is that the controller is slightly small for my hands, and I'd prefer Xbox 360 Controller as a better fit.
However the major feature in this new F710 model is neither the programmable buttons, nor the great looks, but the ability to emulate both older controllers and the Xbox 360 wired controller with the flip of a switch. If you've a collection of both older and newer games, you'll know my pain. Most Games for Windows titles would only accept the Xbox 360 controller as a keyboard alternative, on the other hand that would not work with slightly older ones (like the original Prince of Persia trilogy). Then you'd have to switch controllers every time you switched between the games (keeping them both plugged at the same time - unfortunately - causes more issues).
Thus, if you leave your PS3 or 360 from time to time, and come back to the PC, you'll find yourself at home with F710. No more switching controllers between games!
Pros:
+ Xbox 360 emulation on the fly
+ Ease of installation (default drivers on Win7 works)
+ Good ergonomics
+ Small wireless receiver
+ Responsive controls
Cons:
- Slightly small for larger hands
- Analog / digital pad placement (I find the 360 way more natural)

I'm very happy with this contoller. It was a cinch installing (windows 7) and I haven't had any compatibility issues with anything that I've run.
This controller reminds me an awful lot of the PS3 controller but is more comfortable to hold for a long period of time in my opinion. I've yet to find any sort of dead zones where there is no response for the wireless receiver.
Logitech has done it again, excellent product.
