backhandfloater Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 What do you guys use? It seems a lot of these newer controllers with the analog sticks don't allow to use the good old fashioned d-pad. Any recommendations on a good responsive controller? There's gotta be a genesis to usb adapter out there right? I've scoured the internet with no success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Just an usb Playstation clone thing. works perfect!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xstioph Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I play with Playstations 2 controllers, using usb adapters.. (got a bunch ) I have never seen a pc gamepad with even a half assed d-pad, they are all rubbish imo, I like the old school d-pads (Sega Saturn controllers has the *best* d-pad).

Tickenest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Microsoft Sidewinder. No fancy analog sticks, just a layout very similar to the Genesis but with better handles for gripping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegr8199 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 Just hit the Mode button and youre using D-pad over Analog. Im getting use to the Analog now, so I prefer it over D-pad eventhough I have the option. No cord, just plug into your front USB slot and away you go!

Guest BSDaemon Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I use an actual SNES controller with a snes to usb adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xstioph Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Oh my GOD!!! For PC!! Gaaah!!! *gets totally crazed* I wonder if that can be bought in Europe! :D :D Direct link to it: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-1i-77-...pad-70-cj4.html As I said, best d-pad ever!! It is TOTALLY PWN! Holy crap, I can't belive it's available for pc! Even though I have some ~6 Playstation 2 controllers for my pc already, this would be the cream on the cheese! And btw. I've already went through two Gravis Gamepad Pro's, and I do NOT recommend them (one usb and one on game-port)! Go with a PS2 controller (or maybe a Logitech copy, said to be pretty good).

backhandfloater Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I was looking for recommendations for friends of mine that are starting to play nhl online. A bunch of em bought the Logitechs. Seems to work just fine. Ahh the sega saturn pad. I personally use one with a USB adapter. Its rocks. Real nice layout for fighting games and the d-pad is near perfect. Unfortunately they are near impossible to find or you have to get one shipped from overseas. I have an extra Saturn pad (non-usb) if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwise Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Got mine still has that new controller smell. Elected to go with the classic black for badassedness. Feels like my hands were made for this controller. I would strongly recommend playasia.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
