What's A Good Gamepad

[mr. nails]

i'm starting to hate logitech anything! i have a logitech mouse, keyboard and webcam. only reason i'm disliking logitech more and more are because of their drivers. their drivers r shit! if i install keyboard drivers the damn pc hangs when rebooting. if i install the webcam drivers it goes "BEEP"! everytime i reboot. only good drivers r the mouse drivers. god, they really need to fix this shit.

so, do those logitech gamepad give probs? i have winxp so....?

Nah I've used a Logitech Wingman on my XP had it ran perfect.

Don't hate on Logitech... they're one of the main brands that people trust because they make quality products. I think they did have driver problems at one stage but that was because Windows XP had just come out and they couldn't make their software run as well as they wanted.

But xp sorted it just find it very jerky dont know why,probably not sorted it right,was gonna take it back but might give it a while longer.

Really? I'm sure all Logitech products come with drivers on a CD.

I'll run a search and try and find you some drivers. Windows XP own drivers are very basic and thus don't seem to help as much.

Try here though...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, BigBoo. B)
Your bro's ability to make his own adapter caught my eye, because they aren't easily found in my neck of the woods and I've wanted one for quite some time.

A bit of Googling led me to this site:

Looks easy enough... now wheres that soldering iron?

Yeah, I&#39;ve heard they just use a modified USB cable. Or was that the Xbox controllers?

Anyway, I&#39;ve heard its easy enough.
