Best PC Gamepad Available

[vince2100]

Hi ppl, long time no post
Just wondering what gamepad I should get to replace my dying Logitech Wingman Rumble. I looked on the net and saw that the saitek p3000 seems to be pretty good, but it lacks the rumble feature that I find is useful. I was thinking of getting another Logitech Rumble pad, but I wanted to see what your opinions are. I also noticed that people use a psx to usb converter for their ps2 controllers. Would that run well with no problems? Which gamepad do you use for playing games like GTA:SA, and Psychonauts? I'm so tired of using the keyboard and mouse to play them. Thanks in advance

I use the Playstation controller with USB converter and have not had any problems in the following games: Monster Truck Madness 1 and 2, Madden 2000, 2003, 2004, and a few of the Star Wars games (I forget the actual names) and I have not had any problems.

Care to play a little StreetFighter Alpha, or maybe some MotoGP 3 against me on the PC? You can use your keyboard, I'll use this. ....

Who do you think will win?

Yes, Xbox 360 Controller is one of the best!

yes id have to agree Xbox is one of the best BUT!! I would use the mouse and keyboard over any controller.

i never liked joysticks or game pads / game controllers for games, i had severals and none was good enough for my games, that's why i never liked consoles games, it just can;t live up to the PC speed and accuracy, when using a mouse + keyboard, or just keyboard for older games, or mouse only for some newer games.

LOL and games like Street Figher or alike using the G15 keyboard is a breeze, in fact better than any game controller you can find.

you can 1 button all the possible combos for each character

I remember in an issue of PC gamer they did an in-house contest of keyboard and mouse vs. controller (they used some FPS).

Needless to say the KB & M team p0wned the controller team.

On some games (esp. button mashers), the controller might be a better choice.

They should have expanded the games to include racing games and 3rd person games, like Prince of Persia. I use my xbox s-type for those kinds of games. I always use the mouse and keyboard for FPS, or point and click style games like Dungeon Siege.

Wow thats one sweet keyboard but have you seen the price tag on that baby ?

I use one of these, you can get them for about $10-$15 on ebay it works pretty good *the version with a coord* , you can get wireless versions too but those are alot more expensive and its a pain switching batterys when they wear out

[AllGamer]

*the version with a coord* ,

ohhh... trust me... you want a COORDED version.

WIRED version of any kind of control, be it Keyboard or GamePad / JoyStick... is HORRIBLE, literally you die, it kills you... in game.

all my game "controllers" i switched them back from wireless to Wired.
