Hi All,


I am looking to get a Game controller for the pc, I was wondering if anybody has ever used one and if so they could recommend a good one to me?

Thanks,

Wiz
 
If you're going to go for the X-Box controller, I'd advise going for the wired version, the wireless PC X-Box gamepads are known to be problematic. I had two sent on seperate occasions to me by OCUK, both returned as faulty and I now have a wired one, it's good.

I also have the Logitech wireless rumble gamepad. They're both good, kind of equal too but if I was pushed to name the better one, I'd probably choose the Logi.

But as I said, no real difference.
 
Hi Flopps,


Thanks for your reply.


I have been looking at the Xbox game pads and as you say there is a few problems with them. I have had a look at the one you said about is this like yours?


Thanks,

Similar.

I have the cordless one Link which works fine.

From £24.00 inc postage at Amazon, the corded version is cheaper.
 
Hi V_R & Flopps,


V_R,


The one that you have linked to looks good. :)


Flopps,

Same for you the one that you linked looks good. The only thing is that I read a review saying that it’s in compatible with COD4 I will be using it on COD4 have you had any issues with it on COD4?


Thanks,

Wiz
 
ZOMG! Dont be using the pad for FPS's you will get pwned. ;)

Keyboard + Mouse = WIN.
 
Have I had any issues with it on CoD4?

Yes, gamepads are all crap with CoD4 :lol:

As V_R has pointed out, you'll get slaughtered online using a gamepad, it is seriously rubbish with fps's.

And on a serious note, I wouldn't know if there were issues between the Logi and CoD4 as I haven't tried it.

Great for racing games and stuff like Assassin's Creed though :thumb:
 
Ok thanks guys, I think I will stick with the keyboard and mouse for COD4 as I don't want to get slaughtered online. ;)

I could use the game pad for Race Driver Grid and other games.

Thanks,

Wiz
