I've had enough with playing keyboard on Street Fighter 4 PC. Can anyone recommend me a good PS3 style pad for it?
 
Haven't tried using it wireless but if I plug my PS3 controller into the PC it shows up in control panel under controllers next to my xbox360 pad

Has anybody got a definitive answer to the question of getting any PS2/3 pad to fully work on Vista 64? This question has been asked multiple times in similar threads but they always seem to tail off, pointing to extinct driver websites or obscure user comments etc. It would be nice if there was a "get this, do that, and it will work" type answer.
 
You can get the PS3 pad to work if you have the USB cable, but the drivers are hacked together and it doesn't work great. The 360 controller is a much better option.

on my previous screenshot all I had done was plug it into the USB port and windows (vista64) knew what it was. I didn't go any futher as I have the Xbox360 pad. The only reason I sometimes plug the PS3 pad in is to charge it. I will try it again later and test some more. I would have thought if it shows up in my game controllers with a status of 'OK' then it would just work? the next obstacle would be getting various games to use it, it's at that point that would be a much better off with an xbox360 pad. All mordern games support it with no setting up. games even show the buttons on screen

It will show up fine but it doesn't actually work. You need some unofficial drivers to get it to do anything.
 
Hmm. I've seen some Logic PS3 style pads. Would they work well? I only need it for Street Fighter 4.
 
Sorry, but the 360 pad is poor. It's not even that comfortable to hold, doesn't feel quite "right" in the hands.

It was a pretty large decision in me changing my 360 for a PS3 last year, I couldn't enjoy any of the games because I couldn't get my hands comfortable.

No problem with the DS3, or the Sixaxis (although that just felt weird cos of it's weight).

You either have teeny tiny, or freakishly large hands if you find the PS3 pad more comfortable. :eek:
