Designing and carrying out a study in which children play pc games is by far the most fun and rewarding activity anyone could do. Please take a look at these thank you notes from two of the children who participated in the study.

Within subjects with 37 participants, adults and children, roughly 50% of each. Adults’ age distribution was from 39 to 56 (50/50 gender) while children’s ages ranged from 4 to 13 years old. Each participant played with a total of 6 game pads, then rated them for preferences of 17 different attributes of the game pad.

The wireless Logitech Rumblepad 2 was the winner in both age groups. The main reason? The is nothing wrong with it. Other game pads had attributes that were rated low by participants. This one did not necessarily receive the highest scores in all attributes. It simply did not receive negative ones.
