    Default Which game controller for the PC?

    Starting to play more than FPS on the PC recently and not really feeling the love towards my wired PS2 clone pad I got from the market here, although its not really that bad I'd like to get something a little better, without a wire.
    I do have a genuine PS3 pad here that I can set up to work via blootoof, but its a fucking rigmarole and last time I tried it, it stopped my other USB controller from working, which shot down my plans of a 2 player mame fest.

    So, what are you guys using these days?

    XBOX360 wired controller man. Don't consider anything else.

    I know you don't want wired but make this one exception and you'll love it. The wire is long too since it was built for a console/tv/sofa setup anyway.

    It works with MAME and all other emulators plus all modern PC games will detect it and play just like a console game.

    as above, xbox 360 wired. works straight out the box with a ton of games, comfortable and easy to use. wouldnt consider buying anything else.

    as mentioned, wire is more than long enough for your needs...

    I have 2 of the Wireless Xbox Controllers for PC and have never had any complaints. Even use it as a remote control for Kodi. Get some rechargeable batteries though.

    I forgot I have a few wireless and a wired 360 pad back home in blighty, with everyone shining feedback on them I'll probably just get them posted over. Cheers all, I'll have to find something else to waste my money on.

    Or a ps4 controller with DS4 windows, works wirelessly via bluetooth. I'm sure you could do the same with the ps3 controllers. Xbox controllers are hassle free.

    Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean
    the same thing?
