Yeah, it's much better than the Gravis Gamepad.  It actually has 8 buttons
(6 on the front, and 2 on the top Nintendo style) and no rapid fire
switch, but it does let you program rapid fire buttons for keyboard
emulation.  The buttons are a little mushier than the Gravis, but the 
added function makes it so much more useful.  I can finally play SSF2T 
with all 6 buttons!

If you have PS/2 type interface, you might not get the adaptors required
(with the adaptors it sticks out about 7 inches from the back of the
computer) because of some sort of production scheduling problem.  There's
a note that says to call them and they'll send it out to you free.  I was
pissed about this initially, especially since it is a long distance call
and not a toll free number, but I called on Monday, and I received it Fed
Ex on Tuesday! 

Overall, this is a very good controller for PC games and I highly 
recommend it.
