PC Gamepade Choices

DickNervous · 13-June-08, 08:30 AM

Okay, so I have to break down and buy a gamepad for my PC. My son has been playing the hell out of Lego Star Wars and we are looking into getting the Lego Indiana Jones game as well and playing them with the keyboard is somewhere between cumbersome and impossible.

So what are recomendations for a PC Gamepad. I prefer cordless, but need to keep the price down since I may have to get two of them. People have suggested the XBox 360 for PC controller but it would cost close to $100 to get two of them, and that is without shipping and tax, and I am hoping to do this a little cheaper, but don't want to get a crap controller either.

Well you can usually get the corded 360 controllers for $20 to $30 and they're definitely a great deal. I've got one and love it. Otherwise Saitek and Logitech are your only other choices really.

eascarface is dead on, corded ones are 20-30 bucks, and I think you get free shipping at Amazon. I have a corded one from when I used to play FIFA2005 on the PC, its 2008 now so I could send it your way for 20-25 bucks. Let me know.
