Wich kind of gamepad?

Post by Hellscream »

Hey guys

I red some pretty neat stuff here and I couldn't resist to register....
So now I have my first real question! Weee!

Ok, what brand/kind of gamepad do you use or advice?
Normally I'd buy the game for my PS2 but somehow, I liked the view of the PC game better, so... But I miss the gamepad in a sense. (fingers hurt when driving with keyboard. *sigh*)

So? Got any tips/comment?
Thanks in advance. :)

1. It's in the wrong section
2. Go for a Thrustmaster or Logitech

For gamepads u should defintly go for Logitech ! Try Rumblepad and Rumple Pad 2 ! And if u want a steering wheel again try go for Logitech ! Try G25 Racing Wheel is the best ever seen IMO ! As Bronto said even Precision is good ! But in my hands I destroied it in about 4 days of hard gaming ! Now I am going with keyboard :P ( Logitech :P )

Logitech is the best out there but the Thrustmaster 2 in 1 Dual Trigger is better than Rumblepad 2

EDIT: @itay1r: I have the same Wheel as you and it is compatible but not very good go for the next cheap one from Logitech

Wow, thanks all. Guess i'll go for that one.
Well, the market seems a bit flooded for me, so it's great to hear some comments.

Thanks again!

If you are used to console joypads then get a console joypad.
The xbox 360 wired joypad has usb so will work without probs on your PC, with the right feel, analogue on every button as well as sticks and triggers it really is your best bet,
Or for £20 the madcatz 360 wired controller (what I use) works a treat.
