Hey,
I just wanted to ask if you guys have any alternative gamepads for the pc. I don't mean to insult the glorious pc gaming master race. It's just I got dark souls and I want to live as much as possible.
Would also be interested if you guys know any good racing wheels?
I just plug in a xbox 360 controller and that works fine with all games that support gamepads/joysticks
^ that
i've tried x-input emulators and other controllers, but in the end all the hassle and all the problems just got too annoying and i dropped $80 on a wireless setup
Another vote for the 360 pad here.
If you want to spend a little more I hear good things about the Razer ones too.
I use a 360 controller for third person games and keyboard and mouse for first person games
thank you for the feedback! and what do you guys think of the logitech g27 racing wheel? have any of you tried it?
How dare you insinuate that PC Gamers use those....oh uh,
*ahem*
I'm a bit of a logitech fan so, if you dont mind the PS controller style, the F310 is a decent controller with both direct AND Xinput drivers built into it. I have several console to PC ports that are particular with the 360 and I've had zero problems.
Plus, it'll only run you from 18-30 bucks depending without you spend that 50 or so dollars the microsoft controllers can run ya. Though, like anyone else on here, it's all preference so give it a thought.
the 360 controller is great since button prompts are designed for that, or you can use ps3 controllers using the motion in joy drivers for it
Nice post, I was looking into gamepads as well. hmmm.. I was wondering, I have the X32's from turtle beach and I haven't been able to use the mic since I sold my xbox. If I get a wired 360 controller would I be able to start using the mic again by just plugging it into the microphone port on the controller?
I was going to go for the f310's that sindwulf suggested but if I can get the mic on my turtle beaches working with the 360 controller, I think I'll go for the 360. Plus i'm used to the 360 controller, being that that's what I used to game on.
I really appreciate the feedback here. Oh, and it would be great to keep this thread going because even though the community here I feel is predominantly PC we all understand that gamepads aren't bad at all for some games. We could expand this thread to talk also about other controllers like I was wondering what a good controller for mechwarrior online would be?
