Hello All,
I thought this was an interesting topic I myself prefer the gamepad, although I have recently tried one of those gaming keyboards or speed boards and I liked it with the mouse.
I am for the most part a console gamer, so I don't know which to put, I love my Xbox controller(the original big ol' one)
I to am an XBOX fan. That means your a gamepad man.

HL2
KB and Mouse for FPS games,
Joystick for Flight Sims
KB for Racing Games, but sometimes if the game works well, I use my MS Force-Feedback Wheel/Pedals
Gamepad for some games.
All on PC though.
Yeah, what he said. :cool:Quote:

I use a Logitech MX 510 Performance Optical Mouse , Saitek gaming keyboard (no lag) and a Micro$oft sidewinder joystick.
For my PS2 I have a Logitech gamepad that feels way better in the hands.
This rocks for me, my wife, my kids and even my bro (n50 model) for PC gaming.

Meet the Belkin Nostromo SpeedPad n52.
Stop drooling now.
That's one of the Gaming Keyboard/Speed keyboard I was reffering to in the poll. Thanks for the pic.
I used the n50 with Quake3, the entire Descent series, UT and others when I found one in the bargain bin at a store (10$ CAN) and only let go of it when I replaced it with the n52. :cool:
I even bound some Photoshop commands on it to increase my efficiency and geek factor. :p
Keyboard and mouse here. I haven't seen a more versatile combo for gaming yet and I doubt I will in the near future.
I have liked this "joypad" for years, a cross between a joystick and gamepad. Now I use it on my PC with a USB adaptor. Really comfortable.
Atari CX78 joypad
i remember seeing an older model of that Belking here in the Middle East, I was drooling back then too ;)
But it was a bit expensive at the time, I think though I'm gonna get this one.
I use the N52 speedpad like adept does. along with my wireless intellimouse explorer. that combo is usualy what i use for PC games, some games however i prefer a gamepad..in which case i use an xbox controller connected with a USB adapter.
i am more of a console gamer than a pc gamer though, so i perfer a gamepad for most things. xbox controller is awesome.
my little bro wanted the older belkin pads, was too exp then over here, now the n52 just isnt available and yahoo dont wanna ship to me :(
I like using a keyboard/mouse combo for some games and a gamepad for most
(I'm a slightly old scholl gamer that's used to the Nes and sega genisis consoles) I use the basic Logigtech wingman gamepads,could someone tell me where to buy a stronger gamepad that doesn't cost to much somewhere around 15-20$us(the basic wingmans break very easily) I prfer a game pad that has a load of buttons 6on top 4 triggers in the front d-pad and 1analog stick usb connection start button etc.

BTW, do NOT get the European version if you want to join us on the US servers. ;)
I'm strictly a keyboard and mouse man. And, some games just won't do if they don't allow me to control my player completely. No automatic, predefined movements for the player. Yuck! Example, Catwoman. You look where the camera says you can look. And no, catwoman is not my type of game. I was just checking it out.

Not a game pad controller at all but I do love my Saitek R440 Wheel for playing rally games. Especially Xpand Rally which I think TechZ suggested way back last year.
It beats the pants off CMR.
Great wheel and great game. I spent eight hours yesterday having a "quick" game. :)
Thanks TechZ!

Just bought a flight yoke and pedals.
I like the mouse/keyboard for very few games, and I prefer my Gamepad to well...everything. If only I could find a gamepad with an XBox-style portioned trigger/throttle. Right now I'm stuck with the Saitek P2500, with is nice and versatile (like a PSX controller) and also has a switch button so you can have two different layouts for the controller and switch without having to search for the key on the keyboard. The force feedback is nice, but noisy and slow compared to the sound...though that is probably because I have a low-end compy. but hey, it plays games ;)
Any idea if Burnout 3 Takedown will be released for PC without a PS2/XBox emulator?
Anyone know of a gamepad for PC (preferrably USB) that has an XBox-style trigger that is portioned/pressure sensative?
Thanks! Gamepads! w00t! :thumbs2:

Xpand Rally was a great game, it could do with more cars, but there were alot of tracks, they kept the cost down by not using official names.
Still trying to get that n52 pad. :(
The only control I have ever used are Joysticks on my Atari/C64..
When i started playing flash games,etc on my computer here I started using the keys since I dont have a joystick (A good one) for my computer...
Although I did find an EXACT MATCH to the c64 joysticks I love so much for the computer which im tempted to get!

Best joysticks ever made :)
