The '''''Logitech F310''''' is a gamepad for personal computers which originally retailed for $36; a discount version of the [[Logitech F710]]. Its button layout is that of a [[PlayStation 2]] gamepad, but it has a more bulbous form like an [[Xbox]] controller. It has dual analog sticks, a digital D-pad, and a toggle button to switch between them. It also has 4 standard buttons, a start and back button, two shoulder buttons and two shoulder analog bumpers. I uses USB for its connector. It supports both XInput and DirectInput modes through a toggle switch on the back.

Logitech F310.

The Logitech F310 is a gamepad for personal computers which originally retailed for $36 as a discount version of the Logitech F710. Its button layout is that of a PlayStation 2 gamepad, but it has a more bulbous form like an Xbox controller. It has dual analog sticks, a digital D-pad, and a toggle button to switch between them. It also has 4 standard buttons, a start and back button, two shoulder buttons and two shoulder analog bumpers. I uses USB for its connector. It supports both XInput and DirectInput modes through a toggle switch on the back.

I bought this gamepad to replace my Logitech F710 which had annoying wireless problems. It lasted for a little over a year before the right direction on the D-pad broke. After opening it, I found the problem was with the silicon membrane over the D-pad; it had broken down from wear and wasn't popping up correctly any more. I was able to swap it out with the one from my unused F710, which appears to be made of a higher quality silicon.

Review

Good

  • Its comfortable to hold.
  • The ability to switch between XInput and DirectInput makes it more versatile for older games.

Bad

  • My D-pad broke after a little over a year. Not a very long lifespan for a controller, but not bad for the price.

Ugly

  • Nothing.
