Everyone's joking here but I've owned and used an F710 since 2009 and they are ABSOLUTE CRAP.
I'm not even joking but their range is like 3 feet in the BEST conditions and their USB controller is proprietary and doesn't even work with OTHER F710s.
Anyone who's used one for more than a few hours knows this.
Why do I still use mine? Well the hand feel is amazing and the weight is perfect, but everything else is terrible and shouldn't even be used for gaming.
To be fair it wasn’t used for gaming lol
Just get the F310, like me, and you can enjoy that three foot range without batteries.
Also, WHY DID THE SUB USE THE WIRELESS VERSION WHEN THE WIRED IS CHEAPER AND WIRED?
I think mainly the wireless choice was for aesthetics, they were building experiences for billionaires and those assholes put way to much score in appearance.
Then at least use something fancy like a flight stick! The F710 makes... anything newer than the Gravis Gamepad look like luxury!
