Right I have a PC right for playing games as well as working. I used to have a Gravis Pad which my mate swapped for a Sidewinder (without telling me - bastad), so everything was fine except NVIDIA game along with the NFORCE2 motherboard and didn't include a Gameport. Amazing eh? And I bought a motherboard without a GAMEPORT adaptor add-on included.
Right now I am playing NFS:Underground with a friggin keyboard (I'm getting pretty far in it too - hehe) so this can't be right. Great game by the way!
I have very little money 'cos me a poor boy at the moment (kids are expensive - see thread in General Forums) so I am not about to buy a decent analogue PC USB pad with rumble features etc for about £29.99+.
I have two other choices, find a Gameport adaptor for my motherboard and use my Sidewinder or find a GC to PC adaptor for pads because I have a GC pad (obviously) with my GC (durr). Now IF I find a gameport adaptor I am left with another problem and that is no analogue. And I will be honest racing games suck without analogue pads almost as bad as playing them on a keyboard.
So why the long story? I like telling stories is one reason and secondly I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the product listed below. The Joybox 13 (sounds dodgy but it isn't honest).
Here is a pic:

Unless someone tells me not to go this route at all with explanation I will buy it tonight for a third the price a decent PC gamepad costs (unless someone can recommend me a cheap but good PC gamepad of course).
So guys and gal, go on, and I will shut up for now and stop using so many damn brackets in my sentences
