Integrity Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So with the advent of me playing games that I like to play with a controller, I'm starting to look about for a good USB controller that I like. I figured the best place to start was to put out a request for recommendations, so hi! The stage: I don't want to spend stupid amounts of money on this. I've already got an X360 controller that does its job well enough, I'm just not terribly fond of it. Good compatibility (in general terms) is a plus. No point buying it if I can't use it! imhotep, the Gamecube controller was the best ever but I'm rather fond of the PS2 controller layout since it's clustered and I have tiny hands. The 360's controller just doesn't fit for me. Fire away. Links are coolest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) http://www.amazon.co...C/dp/B000ND3XXA Note that there seems to be some issues regarding the Xbox controller. Trio Linker plus 2 is another option, I had it and it works but it usually took some fiddling to get it working as I didn't use it too often.

Maou Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/gamecube_to_usb/index.php?category=Gamecube#tab2 It's a bit on the pricy side, but I believe that raphnet has a better reputation for quality when compared to mayflash.

Zak Something Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) If you have a homebrew-compatable PSP, there's an app which lets it function a USB controller. Edited December 23, 2012 by Zak Defender of Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Not that I don't appreciate recommendations, but why the fuck would I want to use a PSP as a controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I would like to second the Xbox controller. Most games are already compatible with it (at least most steam games), and it's pretty simple to set up. I've had no problems with mine.

redturtle806 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I also came here to recommend... an xbox 360 controller. I bought the PC edition with the wifi dongle and I love it. Of course it fits my hands pretty well, sorry for not having anything else :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Glenn Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I use a Logitech Gamepad. At this point, there's probably a much newer revision of it than the one that I have, but it's served me well when I've used it. IIRC, Logitech has a page that has all of their available gamepads, their features, and specs on their site. Should be enough information to get an idea about whether they'd fit or not.

redturtle806 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Well I just thought I'd post that to say I haven't really found anything better. I had a knockoff Genesis controller a while back, but it was really crappy and broke after a couple of months. Now If I could get an authentic Genesis gamepad for the PC, I'd be in 16 bit heaven.

Nanami Touko Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 WELL INTEG you could probably fiddle around with a PS3 controller then. Controller comes with a USB plug in, probably some program you can get to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Guys. I *own* a 360 controller. I just don't like it. Just buy a crappy Logitech controller at Target or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 You can use a 360 controller, or even a PS3 controller, if you get the right drivers for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 You can use a 360 controller, or :( Et tu, Jyo? It looks like the answer is "get the logitech controller if you like it or just hook a ps3 controller up" so I guess this thread served its purpose.
