Looks, like a good deal. Should work with FFXI, right? If anyone has one of these, can you tell me how long the cord is.

Edit: Sry, maybe I should have put this in tweaking forum? o.O

Somewhere around 6 feet.
Mine lasted about 6 months till it died but (unfortunally) its about the only good pc gamepad at the moment.
(yes I still had the broken one on my desk, sometime ill try and fix it)

Re: Good gamepad?

I have 2 of these, the cheaper one without rumble.
now sure how long the cord is... about as long as the ps2 controller cords

Re: Good gamepad?

Aww geez, the sale ends tonight! Sucks I missed it, the price is going to be 40 bucks again probably.

Thrasher, what kind of gamepad did you buy afterwards? Or just used keyboard.

Re: Good gamepad?

Well they did (finally) fix the D-Pad on the one w/o rumble, but buying online I would buy the rumble version plus that is a good price. (well was a good price)

Re: Good gamepad?

Im trying the a Saitek pad and unfortunately its already havening problems so ill end up with another Logitech dual action. But get the Dual Action with the D-Pad that looks like the one on the Rumble Pad, the old version is like a torture device you press up it goes left 50% of the time and you press left it goes up the other 50% when useing the D-Pad
the sticks are fine tho.
I gotta stop editing this.

I think this is what you are looking for just checkaround the major videogame sellers or jp import sites.

Re: Good gamepad?

Your local radio shack should carry them.

if not, search for PSX to USB adapter on radioshack.com

Re: Good gamepad?

Upon advice from these boards, I checked out my local Radio Shack for a DualShock-to-USB adapter. The salesman told me that they no longer carried them, but suggested a Nyko Airflow controller. It was on clearance, and cost me less than the adapter would have.

So far, it's worked out pretty well. I've only had it for a short time, so I can't comment on its durability. The whole fan-inside-the-controller gimmick doesn't appeal to me all that much, so I don't even bother using it. It doesn't have a rumble feature as a result, but I find that I'm not missing it.

I bought my converter from Radio Shack two weeks ago today when my USB controller went out on me so I know the whole franchise didn't stop carrying them. Ask for a PS2 to USB Converter, he showed me right to it. It was around the area with the other video game hooks ups, like ac adapter and rv switches. Costed me $11.99 before tax. Brand new PS2 controller $24.99 and I dont expect to ever have to buy another controller.

The Nykio Airflow were the first two controllers I every had. Really great controller, I liked the air feature. Each one lasted me about 6 months till they stopped working. Next went to walmart and bought a cheaper $19.99 one. It sadly only lasted me about 3 months, then went back to walmart and got a logitech $29.99 controller. Lasted about 6 months and went out on me. Now I'm using ps2 works great, even rumble works.

Damn I've bene through alot of controller to play FF

Re: Good gamepad?

Oh hey, I have a wireless PS2 controller (Hip Gear or something) . I'm wondering if theres a way to connect it to the PC without any addon's. Maybe through my router or something?
