Best shooter's joypad?

[druuna]

I'm dreaming about a good shooter's joypad for the pc .
I think finally we'll have one

This is the classi Saturn pad ported to usb (for pc and even mac I think)



usb saturn pad

What other joypad or arcade stick do you like??? (for the pc)

[Cormano]

I would just advise you to stay clear of anything that has 'sidewinder' printed on it. Those pads are plain crap when it comes to dodging bullets.

Of course the best thing you could do would be treat yourself to a HotRod or an X-Arcade

[leeperry]

jesus christ, $40 + shipping + taxes for a shitty USB Saturn game pad ???

for this price you get a DC official arcade stick and a JoyBox to plug it on your PC

[druuna]

I've a Logitech Wingman and a Ms Sidewinder on the pc the first is far better ......but these are expensive , I think a more professional joypad is far better!

[TVG]

i have wingman precision and wingman action, they are both shit, unless you like to have random factors like ship not wanting to go in a straight line when you play.

i would pay 100 euros for a saturn usb pad in a hurry.

Imo, NeoGeo old school stick and Dreamcast official stick are the best to play shmups and "fight" games (I mean games like KOF or Street Fighter ^^).

I know guys who make JoyBoxes to plug Neogeo sticks on USB ports.

But if you can't bear arcade sticks, I guess Saturn Pad is the best !

So long,
KZ

Dreamcast official stick forever

there's no way I could get through Ikaruga with anything else, whatever that is..this stick is DA BOMB!

PS : I still get my ass kicked in Border Down...oh well..

PS2 : You would be willing to pay a hundred bucks for a USB saturn pad ? I think i found my new job, joypad importer for France
anyone else interested ?

[druuna]

With 75 euros I think I'll buy a Namco arcade stick and a USB adapter for the pc , so I can use it on pc and on psx

bigger, badder, better

[Radigo]

...but expensive.

The Dreamcast arcade stick is really a good one. But only if your a japanese style freak like me.
Hori joys semms to be good ones too, but I've never tested them.

[druuna]

Yes , the Hori fightingstick2 seems very interesting : only 49$ from Lik-Sang it's a very good price



even cheaper the "king of fighters arcade stick" from Nubi...only 22$

[valkyrie]

saturn 2 pad is everything but shit:
it's DAMN GOOD !

at 40 I consider it.

I have the svc chaos arcade stick and for shooters it's not great
(but it's really goog for GGX ^^ )

on pc I use the thrustmaster firestorm digital 3
(old version, non sidewinder cross)
it's the only pc pad I can stand;
it's not on a par with the best console pad,
it just works.

here in france you find supplies of these old pads in various locations, and it's very cheap (usually 10€)

The Joypad of the Super Nintendo was so easy to use....It's the one I like the most.

Old-style stick or nothing. Well, maybe a new-style. As I'm thinking of it, I'm gonna receive my new-style controller in a few days, and as I never touched one of them, it will be enjoyable to see how responsive it is.

Oh, and one of the best sticks around is the Hori II for Neo Geo.

[Rising Thunder]

wouaaah!!! les deux sticks trop fort ,ça fait combien 22 et 49 dollars,en euros.

[yace]

translation:

Those two joysticks are awesome...

[Vincere]

$22: 17E
$49: 40E

I've bought a Dreamcast arcade stick USB adapter for my PC, one year ago, and this is fabulous !!!
