    Default PC Gamepads

    I have been looking to buy a new PC Joypad recently, and was going to buy the Logitech Wingman Rumblepad from dabs but they now say it's obsolete and dont supply it any more. So i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a joypad (with analog sticks on it). Also has anyone got one of the PS to PC joypad converters and if so how well does it work?

    lik sang has a converter for psx/ps2/n64 for the pc about 12/13 USD

    ordered it yesterday, can't wait for it



    but even though people go for wingman MS has the sidewinder series which are excellent, i got the original when they got released and i love it. Their rumble technology is prbably the best of all the controlers, if u used console rumble technology u'll notice the difference


    please pm 4me2, ABCMan or Czarjunkie with an explanation why you failed to post or request help posting the email headers of the email you mentioned (along with the full headers) too late Ive banned him after no response for 48 hours (4me2)

    i ordered the ps/ps2/n64 converter from console plus and a ps2 pad from play. would have bought the wingman if anywhere actually sold it. if microsoft had a gamepad with analogue sticks id happily have bought it, my original sidewinder is still excellent. oh well cant wait for me converter and pad now

    ok i got my pad and my converter. just tried need for speed hot pursuit 2 and there was no rumble in he joypad. Checked the options and the force feedback (which i assume would be where u go) was disabled. Does the PS/PS2/N64 converter allow you to use the dual shock capabilites and if so how?

    i dont think there is rumble, remeber its only a converter its not going to do everything you would expect from a playstation lol but the feel and amount of buttons which are configurable are amazing.
