What type of "Gaming Controls" do you prefer?

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)

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.

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.

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.

Game reviews all state that this game is near unplayable because of the controls and camera angles problem.

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!

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!
