Gaming Gamepad

[Quietlyawesome94]

Can anyone recommend a all around decent gamepad that I can use over usb to use with n64, snes, gba emulators for my netbook and desktop. Something similar to the wii classic controller would be nice. Price range of 15-25 dollars would be great.

I personally love my Logitech Rumblepad 2, exact button layout as a Playstation 2 Dual Shock controller.
The RumblePad2 isn't listed on the site anymore so it may be discontinued. You could get the non-rumble version (linked below) and save $10. But I don't think it would be overly difficult to find a new one in stores (probably cheap too).

@twiztidsinz: Can't Dolphin use the rumble? And possibly Mupen64 too?

There are lots of emulators that support rumble... but to the best of my knowledge I've never gotten it to work before.
I -JUST- found out that there's software for Logitech gamepads (profile manager), but when I did the calibration, each button did a different rumble level/type (some were shake, some were hum, others were almost wave like) so maybe I just needed the software... I'll test it again and respond.


Rumble works, even with the profile app closed.
Not sure if it worked before (I tested with Ocarina of Time on Project64), but it works fine now... Rumble seems to be a little early, but I think that can be fixed with some settings tweaks.

They make a usb adapter for classic controllers that let you use it on pc.
