What type of "Gaming Controls" do you prefer?

**Richard1** · January 24th, 2005, 05:13 PM

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.

Console games are OK. I play them when DSL is down and the multiplayer games aren't up.

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.

I even bound some Photoshop commands on it to increase my efficiency and geek factor.

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.

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.
