Best gamepad for 2004 .. I need some ideas/reviews

I need a new gamepad for 2004 and was wondering what you guys think is the best one.

if i were you i would get a ps one or ps2 adapter that lets you to plug in your ps2 or psone controller into the computer...its by far the best controller for live i think...

The Saitek P880 is pretty good.......Dua Analog, smooth....

That's the one I would recommend......

Logitech Dual Action looks nice and is relatively inexpensive at $20

Yes, Joe Logitech Dual Action is great and inexpensive. I bought it about 2 weeks ago, and it works on any games you have. You can program it to act as a mouse or keyboard. I liked it because it closely resembles the PS controllers, which are the best desin out of the 3 major consoles. (the people that made the Xbox and Gamecube controllers should be shot and hung from a tree). I bought it for Madden 2004 and noticed they have a picture of it on the back of the jewel case...

All of EA's games this year were made with the Logitech Dual Action in mind.

On a side note anyone like my signature picture?

uh yeah. who r the 2 other guys?

Vlade is Zorro and Gerald Wallace is the p-i-m-p

wallace and divac

no thats Gerald Wallace

all right, i realized it seconds later

I suggest a Logitech wingman, wingman cordless if you're got some extra money. It's the best gamepad I've ever used.

wingman cordless is very good~
PS2 gamepad (need adapter) is another choice~

I was planning to buy a Logitech Dual Action pad, but i read somewhere that you couldn't use the D-Pad for directions in some games like NHL, etc.

For you guys that own this pad, is this true? I mean i prefer the D-Pad for controlling players, than the left analog stick, so please tell me what's the case for this pad before i get it, ok?

i got the Logitech WingMan Rumble Pad (cord.) and it works great... it's nice controler:


one bad thing is that i kinda wore down the shot button, so it's all lose and makes a 'broken' sound every time i push it... but it still works fine

, lol
hmm, that could be a common thing with this controler. a bit strang though...

Thrustmaster Firestorm

Good for a game like Live which uses almost all the buttons, fits well in the hands and the extra buttons (the ones on the top and the back of the controller are easy to get to)

Hey J-Will I have the logitech dual action. You can use the d-pad in madden, but In Nhl 2004 it is used to call what type of style you want to play, like defend lead. Sine you can't switch from analog to d-pad (or i just haven't figured it out yet) you are stuck using the analogs for nhl and live.

here's a pic of the dual action from Logitech...

i have thrustmaster firestorm dual power 3... best gamepad i've held in my hands.

I just bought it for $30 CDN! Looks good, bought it online! I have Madden 2004, Vice City, NHL 2004, Halo and im getting NBA Live 2004 AND I hope they will work fine with the controller, im using it on my laptop mostly, theres 2 usb ports so i hope it should work fine. Any suggestions?
