New PC gamepad...recommendations?
Yup, I broke my old gamepad. Anyone got any recommendations as to which are really comfortable for long-term play?

BOOSTER: What? THIS thing's a cake?

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Yeah buy a cheap Xbox controller and modify it.
I'm serious too my $10 generic Xbox controller, I didn't want to use my Microsoft ones, work better than any $30-$40 "Batarang" type controller that most PC gamepads are. It really wasn't that hard to do ya just have to have the stuff, but it's all cheap anyway.

I'd recommend a good old Gravis GamePad Pro, but I don't know if those are even made anymore. (Sorry, that's all I can think of... ^_^; )

Link works fine for me. Well just google "Xbox controller mod" or some variation of that and you'll get it. It really is worth it plays much better than *any* PC gamepad I've ever used. The Sidewinder just doesn't count it for today's games because of the lack of analog sticks. As long as you have the screwdriver and the wire cutters the rest of the parts cost nothing anyway. And of course I'm sure you could borrow those from someone anyway.
