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:

<techsupport@gemini-usa.com>: 216.182.17.254 does not like recipient.

Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for techsupport@gemini-usa.com

Giving up on 216.182.17.254.

Time to get the receipt and send that sad puppy back to Wal*Mart.

  • I have had this controller sitting on my desk in its packaging for a few months ... I finally buy a game that suggests that I should use a analog gaming controller for better control of the game (The Godfather ~ PCCD) & it goes through the install just fine, my device manager detects the controller & I can even test it on there & I can get it to respond on the calibration screen on windows ... however when I'm in the game & I go into the controller options menu, it detects the f*ckin contoller but it wont let me assign any buttons to it & the game doesnt seem to respond to the contoller, its as if it wasnt even plugged in, I've tried all my usb ports ... mind you I have like 14 usb ports & they all do the same, my pc detects the contoller but the game wont respond to it ... after reading all these comments, it would seem that this controller looks good but is a piece of shiyet!!! I hope that Wal-Mart will take it back even if I dont have the receipt anymore ... I wonder if they still carry this in the store, if they do then I can return it, if not I'm stuck with a 15 dollar paper weight.

  • I believe th gge908 doesn't come with the function of vibration...it only has the recoil feature

  • I have the gemini gge908 controller. I have had NO problems EXCEPT for the vibration. I can't seem to get it to work on NBA Live.

  • has for the guy in comment 26 apparently the only people that are using the mouse and keyboard our the ones that cant this dang recoil to work. i have been trying to use it for battlefield 1942 and when i can set the buttons right which doesnt happen often then i dont have the 360 degree movement. anybody have suggestions send me an email at jeffiebe@yahoo.com because i prob wont be back to this site thanks

  • I bought this gamepad at Wal-Mart(suprise, suprise). I *try* and use it with the ZSNES Super Nintendo Emulator. The pad is recognized and is able to work on the ZSNES, but the response time is slow. When I try to play a fast moving game like Ultimate MK 3, the button commands don't reach the game in time, in turn, I lose. I don't know how to change the latency to make it respond better.

  • Absolutely JUNK. Save the packaging, save the receipt, cause it's going back to WalMart. Tell the lady at walmart it's junk, and the gemini website & tech support are non existent. WalMart will send back to Gemini and Gemini will be stuck with the open box/refurbished piece of junk. I had mine for 2 days and back to Walmart it went. Don't keep junk. Return it.
