Good gamepad?

Anything = good.
My brother paid for a $100 gamepad and it sucks, it god GOOD reviews and all at the time.
I couldn't use it, the handling sucked. It was too big.
If you want a good gamepad then find one that fits your hands because no reviews out there can tell you this.
My cheaper gamepad is really comfortable and I can use it far better than my brothers crappy $100.
Maybe if he spent $300 on a gamepad it might have made it better than my one.
I've got around 8 gamepads sitting unused, all ranging from $30 - $100, my Logiech Wingman in my experience is the best I've used and it fell in the middle range at the time of purchase.
Another thing, before purchase actually use the gamepad. It would be a pita if you paid $600 for a "good" gamepad and your fingers/thumbs had trouble reaching a button.

I'm really liking the Xbox 360 controller; tight action and great feel. At 40 Euros/dollars it's a steal. I can't vouch for the wireless version but I'd recommend the wired version anyway since it's lighter. Been having tons of fun with it on NFS: Most Wanted and I even reinstalled an old favourite of mine, X-Wing Alliance, which I've been meaning to play ever since my old joystick went to videogame heaven.
This might be good ...

I have the non-rumble non-wireless controller and it's great.

I was just gonna pick up one of those converter-thingies from Radio Shack and steal one of my kids wireless Gamecube controllers.

The rumble feature will only be available in PC games that use Xinput. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/directx9_c/dx9_xinput.asp) Otherwise the controller acts as a regular DirectInput gamepad just like existing ones.
Likewise the headset microphone that connects to the xbox 360 controller can only be fully supported by games that support Xinput.
Another nod from me for the 360 controller. I bought one for my PC since MS is making a big push to standardize gamepads for PC gaming. The controller for the console itself is physically identical to the one packaged for the PC, so feel free to buy whichever is cheapest or available and you can d/l the drivers from MS' update site.

I never tried or even seen in real life the x360 controller but it really looks nice. Maybe I'll get it though it's expensive.
Also, tried and approved : using a Playstation 2 to USB converter. An old PS1 controller or a cheap BigBen PS2 controller does well the job.

Just to make sure since it seems weird and I ain't up to speed on things X360, I can buy a 360 controller and plug it into my PC without any adapter?John Reynolds said:
Sic! Just did it. But you have to download and install drivers from www.windowsgaming.com before you plug in the controller.AlphaWolf said:
