AHH!
*urge to kill.....rising!*
I looked at your links, and had to alt+tab back and forth like 6 times to figure out it was the exact same thing..bah.
I don't know...I just got GTAIII yesterday, and damn it's good! but damn them for no mp Anyways, I personally like it with the keyboard and mouse, so you might want to try it if you can hook up an extra keyboard/mouse and see how it feels..

 

[wfbberzerker]

both links are the same...

 

[dakata24]

get the 2nd one..

Damn cut and paste failed me again... 1 sec

I like the AxisPad - it's very close to the feel of a PS2 controller..

Choose PC as the platform and Gamepad and you see which controller I mean...

after the fixed link, the 2nd one looks good and is pretty cheap.. hmm. maybe i should get one of these..

For me that loaded a lovely blank page :Q

I messed up the link - I was trying to get the page that the gamepad was on, but it kept coming up in a java window: it should work now...

here's a link to a review of the Axispad...

Why not get the Dual Shock to PC USB convertor?

Where can i get one of those locally? And a decent price on a Dual Shock??

 

[BD2003]

Probably a lost cause to find locally, but only 9 bucks at www.levelsix.com.

Yea thats what i thought... I would, except then i gotta pay shipping on that then lay out $25 or so for a dual shock... Thats pushin $35 maybe $40...

Yo, BigDee - does that adapter support the rumble feature on a PS2 pad - if it does that then I'm getting it...

 

[BD2003]

They have one that supports rumble for a few bucks more, although I have no idea through what API this rumble is supported. Kinda defeats the purpose if you ask me.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Uber, no, but they sell one that does for $14 or so. Choose USPS Priority as the carrier ($4 for 2-3 day).

I'd put in another vote for the Dualshock/DS2 and an adapter.

Or you could try the Thurstmaster Firestorm (dual analog sticks).

 

[BD2003]

I've tried just about every damn PC gamepad, and they all suck compared to standard console pads. To me there is no other alternative.

 

[aphex]

What about this one?

 

[BD2003]

Zoom in on the pic, its a cheap imitation of a Dual Shock.

The digital pad looks like garbage, the buttons arent even labeled, and it just looks cheap.

I'd stick with quality.

I was in the same situation as you a couple of weeks ago, except I was trying to get a gamepad to play NHL2002....

I was finally deciding between Logitech Rumblepad (the 2nd link you have), and MS Sidewinder Pro...

After going to the store and trying out the feel of these 2 pads, I finally bought the MS Sidewinder... It feels better than the Logitech, and it was cheaper as well... So you might wanna also look into the MS one...

I have the serial port version of the Sidewinder, but its up at my apt at school...

BTW, if anyone wants to buy a MS Sidewinder USB (the black one, for $20 shipped), LMK.
