Cons: wireless
If you're looking forward to buying this machine, get wireless set up in your home first, since a wireless internet connection is required to run Mac OS X 10.4.4 on your new macintosh. I just got this, and i dont have wireless. now i need to wait another week to get wireless set up. ...

Great for Windows, but...

Cons: Not much compatibility if you're a Mac user
... I'm a Mac user! Sure, this controller comes in a really great quality if you're using this on a Windows system, but if you're a Mac user, this controller either works or it doesn't when you play games on a Mac. Sure, this controller works great on HALO once you use the calibration feature, and the driver for this controller is already on Mac OS X 10.4, but there is also a vibration feature which 'gasp' doesn't work! It would be great if Logitech fixed this ot that there is a patch supported by game developers that would support the vibration feature in this controller.
Then there is the almost terrible support. No downloads availible if you want to calibrate this controller with other games (or you could get a utility such as USB Overdrive for $20), and if you return this (which I already did once) they have no way of notifying you if they got your returned controller! It would be great if Logitech also bumped up it's telephone support to a 24/7 thing of sorts. All in all, this is a great controller, but your options are pretty limited if you're a Mac user. ...
