    Can anyone recommend any decent game pads for the PC specially for SF

    Something like the pad for the Wii would be ideal or the old SNES

    Saitek GamePad p220.

    The trick is NOT to get something that looks like it was designed by NASA to fly a spaceship... ...SIMPLENESS is the key.

    look, if your not going to post something helpful don't bother.

    I understand they're not out yet but you _could_ pre-order and now they claim they're out of stock as there's a limited amount of them being made I'm assuming they have sold the amount each were given

    so thanks for your rolls eyes and useful googling hints.

    PC world have an arcade stick , dunno who makes it looks solid enough.

    I use PS2 Hori sticks got them from play-asia an adapter is needed for pc use.


    use PS2 pads for most other PC games that need gamepads.

    Gee, you want some help?
    Keep a look-out on eBay for PS3 Saturn pads.

    Anyway, I doubt very much that MadCatz are so dumb as to not build enough PADS for worldwide distribution; hence why I suggest to just wait for pre-orders/orders to start.

    Btw m8, if you have a 360 with a wired pad you can use that (but its horrible so don't waste your time :p)

    If you have a ps3 pad, you can use that too! By hooking it up with your usb wire.

    In fact I bought a PS3 pad a year ago just to play 3rd strike online :D

    I also have a 12 euro gamestop pad. Its cheapy, but it works. its d-pad is better than another pc game pad I had which cost me 25 euro.

    You can pick up the 12 euro version, and I think they've a 7 euro version too, in gamestop.

    Hey I only have wireless 360 pads which you need a reciver for and tbh I've been using the 360 pad for SFTHD on the xbox and it's awful :pac:

    I think I'll just get a PS3 pad was hoping to get a tournament stick for the 360 but they seem sold out too :(:(

    man, if I were you, I'd get a cheapy pad 1st, then order the SFIV fightpad for 360. So you'll have a good pad for both systems then since it'll work on 360 and pc!
