Bernie_Mo_and_Jeter Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 What controller works well for the PC, and is affordable. I have MVP for the PS2 but also plan on getting it for the PC. I don't know if any of you guys remember me. Maybe some of you will. Thanks.

Jim825 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I bought the Saitek P880 when I got MVP2004 last year and have been very happy with it. It has worked great for me with MVP2004 and now with MVP2005.

nittanylionfan3 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Logitech pretty good, or if you like the PS2 controller you can get that and then you can get the converter. I'm using the Logitech RUmblepad 2 right now.

poisonmaddux Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I've got the Logitech Dual Action. Bought it last year, and I'm satisfied. I played a good bit of last year and near 30 games this season and only have minor problems with the left joystick. So, its not 100% reliable, but gets the job done for me.

3jg13 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Logitech WingMan Cordless. Cheap (I bought mine for about $50) Reliable (No buttons or joysticks are crapping out yet) Easy to use (Software included and easy to install drivers) Portability (Plug in USB accepter to PC and go from like 10-20 feet away and use no problem) Overall, best controller I have ever used.

spitoon Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'm using a Cordless Logitech Rumblepad 2, and loving it. They go for about $40 US. The corded version can be had for around $20US.

mflv Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I went through two Logitech Dual Action gamepads and they both pooped out quickly. Got so I had to recalibrate several times during a game. When it finally completely died I replaced it with a Logitech Rumblepad 2 corded. I love it. I'm even able to use JoytoKey again. Great gamepad.

five Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 If you already have a console, whether it be a PS2 or XBOX, just get an adapter. That way you're already familiar with the setup.

Smokin_Joe Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I've been using the wingman rumblepad since MVP03. It does the job but it's a little big and i cant figure out how to move the batter. One of these days i'll get the new cordless version.

statelizard Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 It really depends on your preference. If you're used to a console pad, and you have one just go with the converter, you can get it for 5-10 bucks online. The saitek ones are nice too. If you have no idea, then go to the store and test them out. Obviously you can't play a game with them, but they usually have display models. Pick 'em up and decide which one is most comfortable. Make sure you have all the capablities that you'll need so the analog sticks, d-pad, and at least 8 actual control buttons. It's all about comfort.

yoyoyojo99 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I've read in other gaming forums that the PS2 to PC coverters can be buggy. If you are used to the PS2 gamepad then the Logitech RumblePad 2 will work well for you. BTW from what I read the RumblePad 2 is a big improvement over the original RumblePad.

drovebykeptgoing1 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Im running a Game Elements Recoil, very nice and affordable I gave about 14.00 bucks for it at Wal Mart, its very comfortable and it feels like its made alot better than the Logitech Dual Action,that I also use and no loss of calibration that the Logitechs are notorious for, and the cord recoil feature is cool as well as the rubberized grips.

brianando Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I had the recoil but the left analog stick broke after only about a month. The stick pulled to the right all the time and calibrating it wouldn't work. So today I went to RadioShack and bought the USB adaptor for my PS controller. It works nice except my Right analog stick is inverted. I tried changing the controller config file but to no avail. Anyone else running into this problem? Thanks.

Rasputin Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Im pretty cheap and I got angry at not having a controller to play Mvp 2005 "properly" so I hacked up a parallel port cord and attached it to my ps2 controller. Works good no problems what so ever I also get force feedback from it. I know I coulda bought a converter for it or bought a pc gamepad but like I said Im cheap and I had an extra controller noone used and a parallel port cable going to watse.
