Good Game Pad

Vikingod · Dec 2, 2005, 02:52 PM

Hey guys, just thought of something I want to buy, and need a bit of advice. I need some suggestions for a good game pad for my PC. Must be USB, and nothing too expensive. basically just want something to play my old PS One games with ePSXe on my computer. What do you guys have? what works best for the money? Thanks all.

I just bought 2 of them. Its 20$usd. Its the same as the Playstation Game controller.
Im very satisfied with those game pads. My bro and I, we are playing NHL06 and they are really fun to play with. So for 20$ its a good deal and if u buy one of them, ull love it for sure :P

I love my saitek pad, it's a p880 (and was a good price @ 20 bucks canadian), there's also a 2500 model which to my knowledge is the same, but has a couple rumble motors as well.

If you want the best, the Xbox 360 controller is top dog but costs $40(the analog sticks are the best in the out there imho). If you want something cheaper the Logitech/saitek pads are great also

Well, I got the Logitech Dual Pad or whatever its called. I was going to get the XBOX 360 controller, but for the money I saved on that, I picked up NHL 06. Teh controller is great, basically exactly what I wanted. The game is SOOOO much fun with it too. I haven't played a hockey game since NHL 01 on the PS2, I forgot why I loved it so much back then. I am excited to have the controller, I might pick up the new NFS game, if the two are compatible. Thanks for the suggestions.
