Game controller for PC

R^T · 25 Apr 2006 at 12:36

Is there any places (not online stores) thatwould sell game controllers.

Or those adapters so you can use a PS2 controller.

Thanks

I'd like to know this to. Ive tried looking on the net and i cant see any stores that sell these.

Looks like im going have to get one of these adapter things from ebay.

I'm not sure about high-street shops but the PS2 adapters can be bought from the place in Jersey

xbox360 wired pad. the best pad you can get for the pc, no question about it. ps2 pads with a convertor are crap in comparison.

Ive being looking for these pads, cant seem to find them.

Any idea how much one of these would cost?

Thanks

Silly question, but does the wired 360 pad just plug straight into the pc, no convertor required? Not seen a 360 personally, so a bit in the dark.

Should find them at any good games shop, ~£18.

I got a playstation style dual analog gamepad for about a fiver. I'll give you three guesses where, and you won't need them all.

yeah straight in. its a normal usb connection. Will work with the normal windows drivers, but the XBCD drivers are better (give you control over dead zones, profiles ect) and easily available

Should go sexy with gtl

a famous 2 coloured store from a far away land sells the ps2 to usb converters for about 5.99 or 6.99
