Gaming Controllers

[Deleted member 3023]

Which gaming controller would be best between these 3:

Nyko Air Flo EX
Saitek P2500 Rumble Pad
Gamers Factory USB

I want one which is reliable, comfortable & very programmable. Are the "Rumble" controllers really worth it or is it just a gimmick in which the "Rumble" isn't felt much?

With the experience I've had with pc gamepads, I wouldn't recommend any of them; I've tried all three of those and they all have that so-cheap-that-I-feel-like-I-could-easiely-break-it feeling to them. Now if you really want a durable pc controller, I highly suggest you mod an XBOX controller to plug into a USB port. It's an extemely simple mod, and I've enjoyed hours of gaming glee of being able to finally play my PC games with a high-quality controller (with vibration feedback as well!)

Of course, if you don't like the XBOX controller, you can always go with a PS2 controller to USB adapter (found practically everywhere on the net), and use the Playstation 2 controller.
