I'm about to have to give in after all of these years and pick up a pc controller / joystick. Maybe even a few different models.

I'm looking for something to play older side scrolling / fighting console style games with, as well as something to play newer 3D stuff.

Also, someone once posted a pic on here (I think in a thread about some sort of new Mech game?) of a huge set that looked like the inside of a fighter jet cockpit. I kind of want that too. Idk what I would play with it, but yeah.

I'll go ahead and say that I hate playstation style controllers, and that I don't really like using a 360 controller for side scrolling or fighting games.

Could you fellows please make some recommendations and/or give some advice to me please?

I'll never be as good with a controller as I am with keyboard & mouse in FPS/RPG games, or specific side scrollers like Shinobi 3, but I'm having trouble on stuff like Mazin Saga Mutant Fighter and Samurai Shodown games.

yah I played devil may cry 3 and 4 on my PC joystick... other than that keyboard and mouse are better

but the joystick is OLD I don't think I will upgrade though

The big mech joystick is probably one that I posted and is from the game Steel Battalion. http://swotti.starmedia.com/tmp/swotti/cacheC3RLZWWGYMF0DGFSAW9U/imgSteel%20Battalion6.jpg. While it is http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/7801-steel-battalion-controller-and-win-7-64-bit-drivers/ to get this joystick to run in Windows, it is a bit of a pain and obviously takes up your whole desk when in use.

Lmao yesss. I want that. I literally have no idea what I would use it for or how though. lol

Oh damn... it's for regular Xbox... that sounds like a hasslehalf.

There are plug and play Windows drivers for it. However you'd need to figure out how to scrounge up $200 to actually buy the controller first.

I would get it... if I can think of some ways to use it lol
