Check you have the drivers installed for the joystick. If there is a selection switch on the joystick between types, make sure the right selection is switched. I know many of the joysticks have a DX and something else switch.

All joysticks are supported when correct drivers are installed and configured:)

Playstation 3 or xBox 360 controllers for the win! My personal fav is the ps3 Bluetooth

I believe (or I could be wrong!), the drivers was already installed (download) from this link: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/game-gear/287?osid=1&bit=32

Sir, I do not understand a "selection switch"? or "joysticks have a DX and something else switch"?. Could you please explain a little bit more in details. The joystick that I have is as similar as your (refer to iRobot Roomba Hack video or Joystick Control Robot Tutorial video...etc), and there were 10 buttons, 1 vibration, 1 mode, 2 analog and 1 D-Pad.

The EZ-B, with firmware v16.0 was run on Windows XP, Service Pack 3, 32 Bits. I tested the Joystick and it was 100% functionning with the Logitech download sofware.

Remark: When select Add Control -> Misc -> Joystick The Joystick windows appeared and there were three (3) buttons: #1) Config button, #2) PC MicroSoft (default setting!) and #3) Refresh button. There was no Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2 Joystick was see in the middle (button # 2) button?

I do not know how to made the EZ-B to recognize the Cordless RumblePad 2 Joystick? Would you please help and point me to (or provide a link) where to go and get a corect drivers for this Cordless RumblePad 2 Joystick?

Please HELP and thank you so much. Best regards,

We are HELPing:) . Press the question mark on the joystick control and watch the tutorial video. If the center drop down in the control is not empty, than it is detected. It may not display "rumble pad" because the driver may not return that information.

Regarding the switch.. i wrote "IF" your joystick has a selectable switch to determine what driver they are using. It does not mean yours has the switch.:)

However, because it displays driver information in the combobox, i can assure you the joystick is detected and working fine. You'll need a Movement Panel before the joystick will do anything.
