Gryph Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I would like a decent gamepad for emulation (I'm going to try to get back into it) and console-ports (like GTA:SA and Psychonauts). Suggestions plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 it might be discontinued now, but i still think the Logitech Wingman Rumblepad is the best gamepad made for the PC EVER I remember PC Gamer drooling over it for quite some time. For SNES and other 4 button uses, there was this cheapass microsoft one i remember you could pick up for like 10 bucks new at stores that had 4 buttons, two shoulder buttons and a D pad that wasnt bad either.

It really shines in Psychonauts and other console ports, plus it's good for emulators too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackKnight Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) People are going for the rumblepad but Ill step in and endorse something else.. if it makes a difference... XBOX 360 controller for Windows It is amazing. Feels solid and stylish.. very responsive.. Only problem is those driver issues that you always hear about but honestly they dont matter. XBCD drivers solve everything and are easy to find (if not I can just PM you them). Also you can pick up the one for Windows or the normal USB wired one for the 360 and itll work aswell. I cant say enough good things about it... I love it. Ive never used a Rumblepad so I cant say if its better or worse, but Id have a hard time believing you can top this controller by a huge margin. EDIT: Of course if youve used the 360 controller before then youll already know whether you like it or not... :/ Edited December 12, 2006 by DragonKeeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yes, I have considered the 360 controller. I was hoping for something closer to the $20 range instead of $40. I really love the feel of the 360 controller because it fits my hands so perfectly and I prefer the locations of the two analog sticks but I never liked its d-pad so much. I'll probably have to feel the Rumblepad 2 before I purchase it, of course, but the 360 controller is high in the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Alright, due to lack of Rumblepad 2s with none in stock for a long time to come, I got a 360 controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not much of a fan of the BOX, but that controller is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackKnight Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeh nice move. Btw, for when youre using stuff that doesnt map controller inputs well, is there a general program that can toggle swapping a hatswitch with an analogue stick?

Gryph Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 I think Joy2Key should work. I'm going to try it later. I'll tell you how it goes. EDIT: I don't think I know what I'm saying. Is there a way to let me use the D pad in Kawaks and stuff? Will the XBCD 360 setup have that stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
