Was wondering if anyone has had any luck with PC controller. I jusr went through my 2nd Logitech Dual Action Controller with it disconnecting/reconnecting (had the same problem with the 1st one). So does anyone know of any good controllers shaped liked a PS2 controller?

Ps2 - Usb conversor.
Buy one, buy a dualshock 2 and you are set.
Pwns an 360 controller IMO.

Is there a way to set a PS3 controller up to a PC? If you can, i'd go with that.
But yeah, a dualshock would be best if you like rumble.

I haven't used the Daul Shock controller and am currently using a 360 wired, it gets the job tbh. As far as a PS3, I think if you have a BT adapter on your pc there might be a way to get it to work.

Actually, I heard that theres a kit that configures wi-fi's to accept PSP's and PS3 joypads as pc controllers, but i have no Idea where to look for it since I don't have wi-fi on my computer.

PS2 pad/USB adaptor combo or 360 pad, your choice. Both are equal and come down to personal preference.

I use a 360 controller with XBCD drivers. That way I can customize just about everything, and use the triggers as digital buttons, as opposed to a Z-axis.

Yeah i just ordered the USB adapter off ebay but I'm buying another Logitech tomorrow cuz I really don't want to wait. Controller only costs 10 bucks so it's no biggie and it's lasted me for a while.

I just grabbed a generic $20 controller from Circuit City, and it works just fine.
If you have a PS2 controller, just find a USB adapter then.

Logitech is f-in garbage. I spent $35 on a Wireless controller and one of the buttons got stuck. Ended up taking it apart and it was cheaply designed inside.
I ended up buying a $20- Logitech version but it's USB wired. If it happens again, I'll just buy a new one again and stick the broken one back in the box and exchange for a 2nd one. The only reason I didnt do this before is Comp USA didnt have a Wireless version in stock.

Used Logitech RumblePad (vibration included) since last year. No problem reported.

My Logitech RumblePad II just had the normal attack button break (the spring went), and it was barely over a year old. Warranty gave me a new one instantly, so yea.
Next time, I'm buying something cheaper, I don't need the rumble function, PSU barely uses it anyway.

360 controller, I bought a 360 controller for PC. Works great with the XBCD drivers. It resembles the dreamcast controller the closest and fits nicely in my hands.
Also a plus: xbox controllers are like a rock. Most durable controllers seriously. Cept for the wiimotes lol

I got myself a Logitech Dual Action USB controller, no rumble pack. It's held up so far. Now that I've gotten used to using a controller, it's so much better than using the keyboard to play PSU.

Uh, what stores could i get the dualshock-to-usb converter? I went to RadioShack a while back and the guy just pointed me to a Logitec Controller.

i use a Nyko Airflo EX. comfortable, setup just like a PS2 controller(slightly bigger, but not much), and has an internal fan you can turn on to keep your hands from getting sweaty. had it for a couple years, no problems.

I use a Saitek P2900. I gave up on Logitech after I got sick of dealing with my first generation Logitech Wireless RumblePad.

I broke 2 Logitech controllers within a year.
Bought an XCrate 360 controller (despite not having the console) and don't regret it one bit.

I've been using a logitech rumblepad II since day 1. Never had a problem with it.
