Using a Logitech Game Controller F310

Well I purchased this gaming controller because I have an emulator for Nintendo games and I needed to be able to play. It evidentially doesn't work. Has anyone else used this model? Or does anyone have any recommendations as to a controller to get? I'd prefer a USB model.

Thanks!

Imac, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Well I tested out that F310 and F510 are more easy to use. Simply plug it to your Mac with the switch switched to DirectInput. Seems if they start in DirectInput mode, Mac will recognise them as Rumble 2 and can be used. But if they are started in X, switching to D will not work.

hey guys anyone have a good experience using the F310 with GTA: San Andreas? it seems the game recognizes the gamepad but doesn't recognize the triggers or the analog sticks. If someone can direct me to a solution for the proper button mapping for GTA I would greatly appreciate it. Don't want to spend money on software if all its going to do is show me the controller is being recognized.

solution:


1 - unbox the gamepad

2 - switch the buttom in the back from X to D '' direct ''

3 - Download '' GamePad Companion 3.1 '' from the App store it's for 7,99 $ btw

4 - launch the App

5 - plugin the game pad USB Port to the mac

6 - Press on the Logitech button for 2 seconds

7 - the software will recognize the gamepad

8 - nothing more ,,,, 🙂


if u have it for games specially fifa 12 ,,, it work magicaly and if u wanna switch from analog to keys in moving the players just press the button '' mode '' in the gamepad ,,,, and u can customize so simply and u will see fifa 12 will recognize the gamepad ,,,


if u have it for using it insted of ur '' mouse ! or somethin u will fine GamePad Companion very helpful to configure each button to a function and stuff like that 🙂
