-VIOLENCE- Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 15.99 $ USD at FRY'S ELECTRONICS "Fremont" and "San Jose, but i don't go to that one, too far " probably 19.99 $ at other places like best buy or somthing
Sturmvogel Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Well, the control looks comfortable and seems ergonomic. However I don't like how the D-pad is totally exposted like that, as compared to the Playstation pad in which the diagonal sections are underneath. Controllers with exposed pads like that tend to be to lose.
smoke Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 (edited) I have tried out a few PC gamepads, Gravis Gamepad Pro, Microsoft Sidewinder, a pad that came with a capcom game, Wingman Rumblepad, and Saitek P880 dual analog. I liked the sidewinder but after a while it's d-pad started breaking (becoming unresponsive). So I started shopping around for a pad. One major thing for me is that I want to have 6 buttons on the top for fighting games such as the Capcom fighters and have analog sticks, rumble is a plus. So gamepads with 4 on the top are automatically disqualified for me. The logitech pad fit the bill and had great rumble in force feedback games, but it's d-pad was horrible for fighters. I had a hard time pulling off the moves. I then took that back and I was looking for the new Saitek pads that have rumble, 6-buttons on the top, and dual analog. But my local Game Stop only had the one without rumble but anyway I got it and it's d-pad is a heck of a lot better than the logitech wingman rumblepad. I pull off the moves with ease with that pad (though the pad is exposed on the top but it still works good anyway, best of any I tried maybe a little better than the sidewinder). The only bad part of either pads is that the d-pad by default is a hat switch and you have to hit a button to toggle the main joystick axis between the d-pad and the left analog stick. Though after all is said and done I think the ultimate pad is not a pad at all. Rather, it is a arcade joystick if you are a hardcore fighting game fan. Edited December 24, 2003 by smoke
-VIOLENCE- Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Weirdanzeige - you will not regret it it's a very far out control pad! it's TOPS! Smashing! ROXY! Best of the lot!
Weirdy Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 oralé well..I couldn't find it, so I'll try to get that Saitek one smoke was talking about
Cominus Posted December 25, 2003 Posted December 25, 2003 Hey, does the sidewinder say thrustmaster where there "sony" would be on the controller? Because mine has that, well it's tight cuz it has like 12 buttons, 2 next to the d-pad, 6 buttons where the regual ones go and 2 on each side where the L and R buttons would go. it's good for those 6 butto capcom fighters but what i really want is either that negeo arcade stick that come with the system or one of those X arcade sticks, they're like $80 on e-bay i think.
nightstalker100 Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 i use the saitek p220. 6 button layout like the saturn makes it awesome for capcom fighters plus 2 shoulder buttons come in use ofr macros such as "all punches" etc. d pads a bit chunky thouigh and needs some wearing in - you really need to do the entire motion fully when doing 180 and 360 type rotations. it also has a fancy auto gear shifter up to 4 gears for racers. only 15 quid too
solidius23 Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 i am now the proud owner of a X-arcade stick its so awesome
goldenboy Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 (edited) saitek p220 is the best i have found in terms of funcionality whit the d pad and the buttos as well, its have the 6 buttons alingned exactli as the capcom arcade so is relatively very easy to do the combos in most capcom games. also the d pad is more precisa than other control pad in the market, the price is $ 10 bucks in any store specially circuit cityits also have two buttons r and l in the top Edited December 27, 2003 by goldenboy
Kevin-Nash Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 heres what i use preaty hard to control in neogeo.
Weirdy Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 anyone know where I can find a usb adapter or two to use my psx and ps2 controllers on the p.c? Better if I can order online
Cominus Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 You can get it on ebay for about 7 bucks i think, not encluding shipping
Weirdy Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 forget it, I found one already..but thanks anyways
Agozer Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Microsoft Sidewinder for everything... 'Nuff said.
