Size Comparisons

When I first picked up the G-Pad Pro, I noticed that it felt smaller than a PlayStation 2's controller. True enough, in a side by side comparison, the G-Pad Pro was narrower.

This may or may not be a problem for people, depending on how big their hands are. It did feel a bit small to me, but that wasn't really a big problem for me.

Side by side comparison
R and L buttons

Not only is the G-Pad Pro itself smaller than the PlayStation 2 controlller, it also has smaller R and L buttons. Could this posssibly be an issue for some players?

 

The Buttons

Here are close-ups of the buttons on the PlayStation 2 version of the G-Pad Pro. As you can see, the symbols on the action buttons are slightly different from the actual PlayStation 2 controller.

The slight alteration was probably done to avoid trademark issues, as they were designed to grossly resemble the original PlayStation symbols. In any case, most (if not all) PlayStation 2 users should know which button is which.

PS2's G-Pad 4 buttons
Center buttons

Both versions have identical center buttons. The Analog button switches between the Gyroscope mode and the Analog mode. The PC version of the G-Pad Pro has it labeled as a Mode button.

The S-UP and S-DOWN buttons change the sensitivity of the gyroscopic sensor. The Select and Start buttons are self explanatory. The Macro button allows you to program a chain of button presses (up to 15 inputs) for in-game use. This cool feature is unfortunately absent on the PC version of the G-Pad Pro.
