| Hi everyone, I was wondering what is your favorite gamepad to use. My gamepad is extremly old and worn out, it's not that good with Mario games for some reason..and I was looking to purchase a better gamepad... Thanks I appreciate it :-) Later  |

| i don't like gamepads very well but sometimes i use them(mainly for emulation). the one i use is a noname one with 12 buttons and you can activate auto-fire or fast-fire for everyone button. but my friends say that sidewinder pads are the best. EDIT: oh, and welcome to the board. (edited by setrodox on 03-30-04 03:31 AM) |

| If you're talking about PC gamepads... there's no PC gamepad I've set my hands on that didn't just feel like a big hunk of plastic to me. Get a PSX adaptor. (edited by Utilityman on 03-30-04 04:12 AM) |

| Compormiss: PSX Pad Adapter. Good Choise: A GCN Adapter and a Hori Pad. Great for 2D Game emulation, and for 3D Games, just use a standard Cube controller. And if you wan't a good PC Gamepad. Logitech Thunderpad Digital, dunno if it's still aviable. Uses Gameport, works with ZSNES. (I still own one, but don't need it anymore) |

I had severeal PC joysticks and PC gamepads, but I liked no of them.  That Hori controller looks really nice, I would just get one for playing Zelda on my gamecube. (the first zelda, playing it with the stick feels wierd. And the D-pad is to small on the Gamecube controler. )I like the GCN controller better than the PS2, but i'm biased as I hadn't played much with the PS2 one. I gotta get an GCN>USB convertor. And maybe an PS>USB with an dancepad too. |

| The one I use is a Gravis Gamepad Pro . Its exactly like a Snes controller . whats good about it is that you can plug 2 of these together with the special plug ! but its not that good with the up/down but works allright for a pc pad ! That hori one looks so damn cool ! i need one ! And where do you get adapater to connect your console pad on your pc ? |

| The best for N64 emulation right now (at least for me) is the Wishtech Adaptoid that let's you plug in your N64 controller to the USB port of your PC. It's the best one out there that I know of. About the GCN to USB thing, does anyone know where I can find some good reviews about it? If anyone would like to provide a web link, that would be great.  |

For PC, I use a Gravis Eliminator Aftershock. Has all the controls of a Dual Shock, which makes it great for any kind of emulation. The digital pad is shitty, but it doesn't matter. It also has two toggle "precision" buttons that halve the input of their respective joysticks, which sounds useful but really isn't (for my purposes). And N64 and PSX emulation is nicely augmented with the rumble.  |

| I have a Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power I HIGHLY recommend that gamepad. It is styled like a PS2 controller, it has 13 buttons, and is supported by almost every emulator. The N64 Emulators work great with this, PSX/SNES/GBA/NES emulation is perfect with this too. Though getting good button layout for Sega Genesis/32X/SCD/Saturn is a bit of a bitch, but can be worked out. Also the Firestorm has a nice rubber grip that makes it comfortable to hold and hard to slip. It supports the rumble feature. The start and select buttons are not in the front. Instead you can set them up in the back (back triggers like the N64). There are dual back triggers that make it easy to press start and select and also make a great Z button in N64 gaming. The gamepad is found in tons of game stores for $30 USD and can be found and ordered at their website http://us.thrustmaster.com/products/lookproduct.php3?productid=10&skin=Gamepads (Also check the 3d view) Just don't get the Dual ANALOG, it is the same thing as the Dual Power, but doesn't have a rumble feature, has a really crappy D-Pad (hat), has poor calibration, only 12 buttons (which that 13th button comes in handy with the N64 and SNES, and Final Fantasy XI) Also if you want an adapter, I would get one that supports a PS2 controller. The PSX/PS2 controller is one of the best layouts around. |

I've gone through 3 joypads... two Gravis Gamepad Pro's lasted around 2-3 months each and then broke.  I've had my Gravis Eliminator Gamepad Pro for around 2 years now and it's still extremely stable and reliable.  |

| If you mean for any system, then I like the Playstation/Playstation 2's controllers the most I guess. It's got a ton of buttons, analog sticks, vibration function, fits easily in my hands, etc. As for the PC, I have this controller called an AxisPad, which is almost identical in design to a Playstation controller, but more uh...boomerang-like in shape. I really want to get one of those USB things though, where you can hook a console controller up to your computer and use it on PC. And that SNES-style Gamecube controller looks kickass.

| I have a PS1 controller thing set up on my PC. But generally, just because they feel natural...The Dreamcast and X-Box Type-S controllers are my favourite. |

I've went throught 4 Gravis Game Pad Pro's (between both me and my brother [2 each] ), and really hate Gravis now.  They've always broke after about 5-7 months. I hate when companies intentionally desing their products to break, the only way that'll help them make more money is if there's enought stupid people out there who will keep buying them time after time. I'm done with Gravis for good. Go to hell Gravis, you can also suck my big fat hairy balls while your at it! Ok, I feel a little better now. (edited by Atma X on 05-02-04 11:46 PM) |

| I honestly don't think any company purposely designs their products to "break". They can just be low quality products that can break under wear & tear. (ie: normal usage) I use a GCN>USB converter. But I'll also use a PSX>USB converter, depending on what I'm playing. (StepMania, a DDR clone, with a dance pad and the converter works great!) I also have 6 or 7 various different Gravis GamePads, but I prefer not to use them... |

| And why did you buy a new one all the time? I would at least buy another brand. Yes, that is true that you say Kirby popstar, after all it would be a sucide strategy to make your produtcts break after some time. Who would buy thoose products? |
