My old Quickshot joypad finally bit the dust, so now I have an excuse to go out and buy a decent analogue pad.
I mainly play games like GTA3 and VC, so a joystick isn't really required, and I don't have the space on my desk for a wheel.

Something similar to a PS2 controller would be great. I'd like to get a PS2 USB converter, but I don't think those are easily found in my area anymore.
I also don't have the option of buying online.

So which pad should I buy?

You could always buy an Xbox controller and make it USB.

Well the ps converter is well worth the trouble to get, coz as we all know ps pads take a shit on all and if u have the option of getting it online u shouldent have any problem getting hold of one?

oh and i got mine from mapplins, dunno if u have one of those where u live but they have em.

Microsoft Sidewinder Game Pad
Okay, that's a bit more like it. But why should I buy a Sidewinder pad?
I need more than just a name dropped in the thread. I need reasons and features.
I want your opinion. I want to know if you've used it. What you like/hate about it.
Pros & cons. How reliable is it. That sort of thing.

Not bad, although I don't mind the pad having a cord. Don't need batteries and it won't be prone to signal dropouts.
Saw the Logitech® Rumblepad™ 2 Vibration Feedback Gamepad (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=778,CONTENTID=8674) on that site you linked to.
Now that's pretty much what I'm after. This reviewer (http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/rumble/) loved it to bits.
Just have to find a local retailer and I'm sorted. Thanks. :)
