Here’s the e-mail I just sent to technical support:
I am unable to install the Gemini Recoil PC gamepad (GGE908) on my Dell Inspiron 700m.
When I first plug it in, I get “USB Device Not Recognized”. When I follow the Windows dialog boxes, Windows can’t find any drivers on the CD included with your product.
When I run the “setup.exe” program on the CD, it runs through a wizard and adds a folder to my Start menu, but the only thing in that folder is “uninstall”.
I checked http://www.gemini-usa.com/gemini/support.asp and found a driver to download, but the zipped file on that site is password protected.
I’ve gone through the Windows troubleshooting guides several times, with no help.
I have restarted my computer and rerun “setup.exe” several times.
A few seconds after I pushed “send,” the following appeared in my inbox:

what controller works
HA! I bought this pos a while back ..SAME problem. It installed correctly the first time (I bought this to use for Counter Strike, can't stand using boards for FPS *shrugs*). However, upon discovering that it didn't work for CS I was disappointed and uninstalled this controller.
Almost a year later I tried out PJ 64 and immediately attempted to reinstall this ''controller''. Only this time, it didn't even install the drivers, it just goes up to 94%, doesnt install the controller and now i have a 20 or 30 dollar (forgot the price lol) controller. I tried to visit the Gemini site link provided on this forum but the site is down!!!? From all the problems i've been hearing about this it sounds like a cut and run to me! DON'T BUY THIS CONTROLLER ITS A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did I go to Walmart to buy a controller? I've only had it since August 28, and already the 3 button is going out. Unfortunately I already threw out the receipt and packaging (just did that a couple days ago, actually).
Huh. Mine has been working just fine (Project64) except for the rumble. Apparently there's no 64-bit driver for it. Does anyone know if the Gemini site will have one (assuming it ever comes online again) or if there's some other way to do it? I feel like a freak for saying this, but the controller works fine otherwise and I'm not planning on returning it tommorrow.
I know the GEM GGE908 Pad is cheap, I can't find a site to download it. Can some one save me from buying nother controller. The intall disk is gone! Thanks!
Hey people. I agree. It sux. I bought it just last night to play my "FPS" (Anonymous Coward #26) Counter Strike. The stupid thing doesn't work. I've assigned all the commands to fit my controller, I've turned off functions to my mouse and isolated them to the controller... I've walked to mars and back, tapped my toes 3 times. I've done all that. BOTTOM LINE: Don't buy it. If you did? Bring it back. Maybe if they get enough of them taken back they'll get the message. Then again, it's Wal-Mart so don't expect too much. I also argee that you get what you pay for. That's why I don't buy clothes or food from Wal-Mart. Why I'd choose to buy an electronic from there? I made a mistake.
I cant get the controller to work on my games. Could you please help me
