Hello,

I was just about to buy the Xterminator game pad when I noticed the Eliminator on the Gravis site. Should I still go for the Xterminator or is the new pad better?

Thanks.

I have both and I prefer the Eliminator for it's looks and the way it fits the hand much better, but the XTerminator has some more buttons and has two pressure sensitive buttons on the back which are quite cool.

i just bought the eliminator shock and i have to say what a disappointment

the direction pad just doesnt feel right its almost like its too sensitive and it is too sunken into the cavity it sits in

and for the life of me i can t get tombraider 4 on the mac to recognise this or any other usb gamepad either

i wonder if you have any ideas on how to get this or other digital and analog pads to work?

btw it seems to work ok in vgs the psx emu but its far from satisfactory

maybe there is another usb game pad someone would recommend

any help would be gratefully recieved

thanks
