Good gamepad, even under Windows 8.1

As successor to my Saitek P2600 I have decided for the F710. Otherwise the Xbox controller would only come into question, but in which I did not like the feel, the stick arrangement.
The F710 is great in the hand (also suitable for large hands) and has a pleasant weight. The first short test games have also inspired me. But must also say that there is no similar demanding simulations were. Very practical is the small compartment for transporting the Nano receiver below the batteries.

The much-mentioned problems, which is to have the gamepad in Windows 8.1 (64-bit) (and which are discussed in the Logitech forum), I can not understand. Have normal loaded the drivers on the website and did not have to resort to the Xbox controller. When detecting after installation but the small switch between the shoulder buttons should be on D and you only have to press the logo button in the middle.

The only small thing, for which I would however also deduct only 1/2 or 1/4 star, is the lack of compatibility with the Unifying receivers other products from Logitech. Say: I can not run together with the M510 at the same Nano Receiver gamepad.
