Best PC controller Game pad type thing

[MxN]

Was thinking of getting a PS2 usb addapter, but what would u recommend as being the best pc controller?

If you get a ps2 usb adapter, get a ps2 control, especially if you're playing pro evo

I got this one and it seems alright, the only think i didn't like was you can't comfortably have a finger on each of the shoulder buttons, so i have to use one for L1/2 and another for R1/2, but i'm used to it now.

Though looking back i think it'd have been cheaper to pick up an adapter in game for a tenner and then a cheap controller too

Xbox 360 controller works great on Windows, best controller around these days to be honest.

An official ps2 controller and a USB adapter is all you will ever need.

Ooooh, give an N64 version of that!

I 2nd a 360 wired controller. If you have a 360 it works in that and your pc with zero fuss and the controller is a wonderful thing unless you have girly hands, in which case a ps2 controller may be better ;p.

i got a wireless 360 controller but with a cable for plug and play does that work on PC?

No, you need a PC-adaptor which should be released soonish.

I also use a wired 360 controller. Definately recommended.

Naffets, how do you plug in an xb306 controler to a pc?

USB?

 

[Tilda]

So only the wireless ones need an adaptor?

Yeah.

Never heard of plug and play cable - are you talking about this? Play and charge kit has nothing to do with connecting Wireless controller into PC.

Actually I dont know all that much, I'm getting all the information from my best friend Dr. Beer

I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Freestyle Pro, pretty similar to the PS2 bit, but as well as all the buttons, there's another button to switch on tilt control, so u can use it like a steering wheel - great for driving games + flight sims etc (X3 )

Think it cost me £30 when i bought it, but a m8 got a 2nd hand off e-bay for a fiver recently - well worth it.
