PS2 controller

You can do that? and what about software for mapping the controller?

PS2 Controller hooked up via a USB to PSX adapter. $10 at Radio Shack for the adapter. $19 for a Sony PS2 controller at Wal-Mart. Total plug and play in Win2k. I just needed to set the mappings in the games I use it to play. :D

I like my Thrustmaster.. but the lower triggers suck. They cause your hands to be in an uncomfortable position.

playstation controller....w/ the converter thing that hooks up to ur usb port ...

i also have these logitech wingman extreme gay ones.....u can move around the gamepad and it has some weights or something inside so just by moving the gamepad, (w/o touching any button, not even the dpad) ...it detects it as input..like tilt if left and right and fwd and backwards..
i say it was badly implemented...

I have this one

I like it, it plugs to your keyboard with an Y adapter, so no driver is necessary, and there are 16 programmable buttons + 4 preset memory + directional pad. It sorta looks like a PS1 pad but with 6 buttons on right thumb and an additional 4 blue directional pad in the middle. It's great and easy on the fly program, even during game! Ok that's my advertising pitch haha.

:p

I have the Logitech Wingman Rumblepad, Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power, Microsoft Sidewinder (Original), and the PS2 adapter... They're all good.. but I'd rather use the Logitech or Thrustmaster.. :\

Thanks guys for your feedback, I got the Logitech Wingman Rumblepad non wireless and driving with analog rules. I read the wireless had a few small problems.
