I can't find the hardware forums anymore so I ask here, thanks gamespot.

So i looked around a little bit, so far the one who LOOKS soemthing I could like is the razer sabertooth, but I thought it's a little bit expensive, the Logitech f310 looks ok too but $$.

I also have a ps3 controller who apparently can work on PC but I don't know how it works exactly, I tried to look online but how to get it to work seemed a little bit of a hassle and I don't wanna **** it up (if its possible) for when i will go back to play on my ps3 know what im saying.

So can some of you help me out ? Thanks.

P.S. Where did my gad dang display pic went ???

Hardware forum is here, but it's pretty dead atm since it isn't linked in the main forum page.

Getting a PS3 controller to work isn't that hard. I did it and it works fine for all games and xbox controller would work for.

Well personally I prefer a mouse and a keyboard (especially when using a PC specifically), but that's just my opinion. Otherwise guy above me ^^^ is mostly right getting a PS3 controller to work for your PC isn't that hard.

A wired 360 controller (or a Wireless 360 controller with the USB Wireless Controller Adapter) work just fine and are natively supported by most games, even down to the key prompts being replaced by button prompts.

My go-to controller was always the (now obsolete) Logitech Wingman (superseded by the Precision, I think), mainly for it's cross-platform legacy support.

A quick glance at your posting history would seem to indicate that English is indeed hard... for you.

I use an Afterglow Xbox 360 usb controller for driving and sports games. It works decently well and it pretty inexpensive as well.

Get a DualShock 4 in less than a month. Then, get a Steam Pad whenever it's released.

Considering pretty much every game is made specifically for the 360 controller, a wireless 360 controller. In the vast majority of games even the prompts ingame switch properly. There really isn't even a valid 2nd choice right now if you want both a great controller and ease of use. I can NOT wait till the ONE controller works on pc.

Unless you have the response time of a cyborg, there is no difference between a wired and wireless controller exacept the wireless is FAR more practical, especially if you game on a tv like lots of people do

Dualshock 4. Not only does it connect via microusb, but Bluetooth support as well. Check your local Gamestop.

just buy a standard xbox 360 wireless controller and buy a 3rd party usb dongle receiver for it on amazon.

Agreed not having a cord to deal with on a controller is so much more convenient wish I had bought one sooner.

Standard 360 controller is good, I use a MadCatz FPSPro (360 controller). It is sadly wired, but it has lasted 2 years which is way longer than any other 360 controller. My next controller will be the DS4 because it is starting to show age, and did anyone know it is already available to buy (at least at gamestop.com if I am reading correctly)

I got myself a 360 wireless remote made for PC. Works really well with most games. I don't use it much but my girlfriend enjoys playing in the bed on the big screen so I figured I'd shell out for the wireless. Used it a few times just to see and I actually enjoyed it while playing games like sleeping dogs etc.

50$ here in Canada.
