Grow with Dr Prem

Radical changes in technology are being reflected each day. Support for games was sparse as most of the people did not support them at all. But, advancement in PC technology and 3D innovations have led to better display and gaming experiences. More games being developed for all the major platforms have led to an increase for PC gamepads as well.

The latest gamepad added to the company’s line of technology products is Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710. It is comfortable and easy to use and contains lots of buttons to make your gaming experience truly wonderful.

The new Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 truly lets you unleash your gaming hobby. This cable free, powerful game connection is the latest production from the company already providing a wide range of PC gamepads. Offering a high lag-free 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity lets you conveniently play games from any corner of your room. The mini nano-receiver works as a plug and play device; it can simply be inserted into your computer’s USB port to give you rock-solid performance in gaming.

Even for games without any native gamepad support, this Logitech F710 gamepad lets you program almost everything with its controls emulating keyboard and mouse clicks. For this, it includes 10 buttons, two analog joysticks and eight way directional pads. Thus, having a broad game support, the Logitech F710 gamepad is extremely easy to setup and use with your favorite games. In addition, this gamepad also encompasses dual vibration feedback motors. This gives you immense feedback by making you feel every hit, crash and explosion in games.

Another unique feature specifying the Logitech wireless F710 gamepad is its floating D-pad. Instead of the traditional gamepads resting on a single pivot point, this new gamepad rests on four switches making it highly responsive to quick changes in any direction.
