Gamepad

Does anyone use a gamepad to play PC games? I currently have a Logitech Precision game pad, it works well, although some games won't detect it.

I wonder if they can be sued by Sony for copying the look and feel of the PS2 controller? :lol:

I use a logitech dual action gamepad. Works very good. I like it for when im lazy. But usually i just use a keyboard. But its $20 and a very good buy. I highly recomend it!

I do not think they can be sued by Sony. It is a very generic, all purpose kind of game pad. Plus the buttons are just labeled with numbers, not X, O, triangle, etc.

I don't use a gamepad; I prefer mostly the arrow keys or WASD keys when playing PC games.

When playing emulated games, I find the gamepad to be a huge help. It makes controlling your character a lot easier than using the keyboard buttons.

I don't have a use for gamepads, although I see where it is helpful (in emulated games).

I sometimes play old games when I am bored, thus I use a gamepad.

Yeah, I like the Logitech gamepads, they are pretty cheap are easy to configure.

I use gamepads when playing games on emulators, makes them much more easier to play than using a keyboard.
