hi all, ive tried loads of pc gamepads and they all disappoint, usually by having lousy dpads. ive sick of wasting time on duff pads, all i want is a dpad that can stand up to the most hectic 2d shoot em ups. im trying to find a wireless usb gamepad with the following 3 criteria-- 1.a really good dpad. 2.a small compact wireless reciever that plugs into usb port (not the dangly hockey puck type of reciever that most wireless pads seem to have). 3.turbo/autofire function that can be applied/removed to single buttons (not a blanket turbo function that applies to all buttons). thats it !, thats all i require, but believe it or not im having trouble finding a pad with these basics covered.the sweex pad on amazon.uk looks interesting but i can not ascertain the reciever size or vouch for the dpad. any suggestions much appreciated
Xbox 360 controller is the best to get for Windows. Native support for a lot of ports which is about all there is now. Anything fancy like you say below will be in budget controllers that you don't want. Gotta face it, there is no market for good controllers for Windows.
yes the xbox 360 controller for windows is probably the best choice. although i dont think that there are many choices to choose from fitting your requirements best agreed with 360lifer
The 360 controller's dpad is the worst i've ever seen xD But yes, other than that, it's probably the best you're going to get... Whatever happened to WASD if you just need a dpad?
