Which gamepad?

#1 Post by ThinkPad » Tue Feb 22, 2005 3:20 am

For the Thinkpad? I just hooked up my thinkpad to the tv via a S-Video cable and the game works great if not better then my Ps2.

I like the controller type for my Ps2, what is a good recommended brand in the same design as my Ps2 for my computer? And preferrably wireless
Thanks

PS2 controllers are one of the best out there.

If you love your original PS2 controllers, don't get another controller for PC. Go on ebay and get a PS2 to USB adapter so that you can use your PS2 controller on your PC.

I've had many PC controllers, but eventually I got myself an adapter to work with my PS2 controlers.

I just got one of those USB to PS2 converters on ebay for $15 shipped. I should be getting it shortly. Hope it works out as its described.

I've had one of the USB to Playstation 2 converters for awhile now....works great...also supports force feedback.....make sure you look around ebay,the cost is usually the same for a one player converter as a two player converter....go with the 2 player....
