Ergonomic design and rubberized grips make the device comfortable in the hand. For control, there are 10 programmable buttons, 2 symmetrically located sticks and an eight-position D-pad - a very standard set.

Logitech's response to Chamberlain
In terms of design, the F710 completely repeats the PlayStation gamepads — a pair of symmetrical sticks, a D-pad with arrows, 4 side shifts and a main unit with four buttons. The main difference is that the main buttons are not marked with geometric shapes like on the DualShock, but with coloured letters “ABXY” like on the Xbox. Since most of the games on PC are focused specifically on the Xbox, you won't have to rush to find the right button when a prompt like "press X, then A" appears on the screen.
Simultaneous support for XInput and DirectInput
The main feature of Logitech controllers is the simultaneous support of XInput and DirectInput modes. In the first case, the system defines the F710 as an Xbox Controller for Windows with a standard layout, in the second as a Rumblepad with the ability to reprogram the buttons for themselves. In the latter case, the gamepad can be pulled up to control third-party applications, for example, use it as a MIDI controller in music software. You can switch modes using a special mechanical lever on the case.
Connected and into battle
The main weakness of the F710 is ergonomics. The responsiveness of the sticks is not impressive, despite the fact that now they can move in a perfectly circular path. The accuracy with small deviations is low, and the finger from above sits not quite comfortably and gets tired faster. Especially in games like FIFA, where you have to constantly twist both sticks. Well, analogue triggers / shifts are somewhat tight. This is a plus for durability, but a minus for convenience. For example, in racing, where most of the time you need to press the trigger to the floor, your fingers get tired faster than when playing with controllers from Xbox and PS. Therefore, be sure to try the gamepad before buying.
Battery powered
Another big difference from the brainchild of Sony and Microsoft lies in the nutrition. Instead of a battery, the Logitech F710 uses regular AA batteries. It is their quality that determines how much the charge of the gamepad will last.
