| Fully analog PC gamepad options?
If there is one place I truely envy consoles is their controllers, specifically PS2 and PS3 controllers. I'm looking for a gamepad that has not only analog directional input but analog (pressure sensative) buttons as well that will work on the PC. I would like it to be wireless. Other than the xbox 360 controller, what other options is there?
Thanks.

Well i know logitech and i think saitek both make gamepads similiar to PS2. I don't know about pressure sensitivity though.
For what type of game would you use this? I always thought keyboard and mouse were so much greater without a doubt.
I'll try and find one though

I don't have a problem finding PS2/3 style gamepads, i'm specifically looking for pressure sensative buttons. This would be for racing type games which a gamepad blows away a keyboard/mouse combo IMO. I don't plan on using it for shooters. The pressure sensative buttons allow me to vary my throttle and brake input versus having full throttle and no throttle with nothing in between.
Oh, and I already have that logitech controller, two infact, wireless and wired. It doesn't have the feature I'm looking for, but thanks anyway.

None of those appear to have pressure sensative buttons. Looks like the 360 controller is the only option if I want that feature. Yes this is for GRID mainly. I'm currently using a Logitech Rumble Pad and don't have any issues with car control. Before the 1.1 patch it was horrible, steering was always lock to lock, but the patch fixed that issue and the cars act accordingly. | |

I haven't installed any patches for it at all. Maybe I should check into that.. | |
