The article mentions that this gamepad was released in 2010, but also it's just a slight iteration on Logitech's Wireless RumblePad 2, a wireless version of the RumblePad 2 released around 2004.

The newer models just add X-input, change the button faces from 1234 to ABXY, and made the wireless receiver smaller.

I still have my rumblepad 2, it is a fine controller. Why they would use wireless here is beyond me however.

Yeah, the wireless is not good. My initial thought on the headline was Logitech's F310 controller which is wired and missing rumble, but besides that basically identical.
