What kind of games? For FPS stuff I can’t get away from ASDW on the keyboard and the mouse. I hear about a lot of people getting joysticks for BF2 (even the woot ones) for controlling the planes and such. I’ve never liked using a controller on a PC… eh, maybe I’m the wrong person to ask. I’m totally happy with mouse and keyboard.
after a little searching it looks like saitek makes some controller pads with an fps function which basically maps all the keys to buttons… i might check those out
