i was going to buy a new game pad but i need some recommendation i don't really like the X360 controller because of the lack of a turbo button http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif. i saw some game pads with built in mini keyboards. if anyone has a pic of that or a controller please post it here. thanks.

i just got a gamepad for my PC, using JoyToKey takes care of the turbo button problem, along with fixing PSU's horrible gamepad setups.

i'd just say this, my pad has 12 buttons (including the analog stick buttons) and it's not enough for me (i can use joyToKey to double up some buttons thank god) so i'm of the opinion the more buttons the better

The 360 controller is big enough as it is ~_~.

I think that's a CG mock-up, but the snap-on keyboard attachment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_Chatpad#Xbox_360_Messenger_Kit) is indeed real. Note that it's a sold-separately attachment from the controller itself.

As far as we know the device hasn't been tested with PSU and isn't known for certain to be compatible with the game. I would assume it would, if it functioned anything like a USB keyboard already does.

I use a logitech PS2 style wireless controller. Wireless is great if you plan on hooking the computer up to the tv. not many PC controllers stretch farther than four feet or so.

I'm personally using a Logitech Dual Action controller for my PC version. It's worked out nicely for over a year now and is quite nice. ^-^

The 1 (square) button on my controller broke. And I havent even had it for a year yet. At least I was able to re-program it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Damn, I bet that thing could take out a small child or an entire elementary school, if one were to swing hard enough.

What platform are you playing? I'm on PC so a dualshock2 is what I've been using.

PC here and I use a Saitek P990 Dual Analog... works rather well for me.

Hey, has anyone tried using a Wii controller on PSU yet. I hear that they use bluetooth and work on PC's if you have the right drivers.

I bought a Hori which has Turbo functions for each button and I love it. Makes tech, rifle bullet leveling a whole lot easier.

Not sure about a combo unit, but having a USB keyboard also servers well for text.

Check out these controllers. I bet they'd be killer for PSU (I play on 360).

wow those things look like they have a phone built into the bottem. I have never seen a controller that big and bulky. Makes the original xbox controllers look well designed.
