Best gamepad for pc?

L5

Im looking for something that will be good with football games like pes3 and winning eleven 7. Also that will be decent for driving games like colin mc rae. Any sugestions ?

The best thing to do is get a PS dualshock and a usb convertor for the dual shock. It's by far the best option. Be careful with what convertor you get since some have very bad lag between button presses. Discostu knows more about this than me and where to get them.

Thanks, i might have to invest in a ps2 gamepad so.....DiscoStu do you have any recommendations about adaptors?

saitek p880 is good

I might sell the Play.com PS2-USB one which I bought from them recently. I used it once on Tony Hawks 4 and then realised I didn't like playing Tony Hawks on the PC!

So it's as new, in it's box and will sell it if anyone gives me a decent offer.

I haven't had any grief with the logitech gamepads I've had over the years.
Currently have 2 usb[both with dual analog and one with vibration] and 2 gameport.

solid build. highly recommended. logitech wingman rumblepad && logitech dual action pad.

I've the logitech wireless wingman and it's not too bad. cost €40 or €50, but it's pretty pointless for me as I don't play that many games the need a joypad...

M@lice

Lads if you want to buy or sell stuff can you do it in the Classified section?

Cheers.

I'd recommend the play.com PS2-USB converter, bought it recently along with a PS2 controller just for Pro Evo3 (me mates all have PS2's so I figured I'd be better off getting used to the PS2 controller). I find it great, quite responsive with no lag what-so-ever.

I want two rugged USB game pads that will let me play my games under Linux. I assume with these converters (the better ones at least) that they show up as HIDs and game controllers?
Do all the buttons on say the DualShocks work?
The analogue sticks?
I don't care about force-feedback, but response-time is crucial.

Shred

Yeah they do show ups as HIDs/game controllers and all of the buttons work perfectly well

chabsey

Yeah I'll put a ad in the 'for sale' section for the converter. Keep an eye out over there, I've no time now but I'll add it later.
