Looking to buy USB gamepad
2006-02-02, 12:07 PM #1
Any suggestions? I already have a Microsoft Sidewinder Precsion Pro (best and most responsive joystick IMO). What's a good one that has good compatability, is responsive, comfortable, and will not anniliate my wallet?

Force feeback/vibrate, would be nice.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

There we go, this is the EXACT one I have.

The only difference is that it isn't wireless.

I'm with Tofu. Only I use the original Controller-S and a spliced USB cable to connect it up.

if you have a playstation, i highly sugest getting a PSX to USB converter. Radio Shack made them some time back and they're hard to find outside of ebay (where they are over priced). But if you can find one, it's like gold. No one makes a better game controller than sony and nintendo, I mean the thing was designed to take punishment from hard core gamers and small teething children alike and still function.
I'm not wearing any pants...

I've worn out several PS2 controllers. :(

I like my controllers to have a bit more size and weight to them. Another reason I like the Controller-S. It's built to take a beating too IMO.
