Okay, so I love the Playstation's dual shock gamepad, and I would really like something similar for my computer. Currently I have the Gravis Gamepad Pro which I really like, but it lacks the two analog pads and force feedback. Ideally I would want a USB pad that has:

- Dual-shock button layout
- Force feedback
- Two analog sticks
- Discret D-Pad (four distinct buttons for up, down, left, right) instead of circular 8-point button

Can anyone out there reccomend a USB gamepad that has the dual-shock look and feel? If not, how about something that's pretty close or better?

Also, I've heard it is possible to get a dual-shock to USB converter that will let you use the real thing with your PC. Does anyone have experience with one of these converters? If so, how well does it work? Where'd you get it?

Thanks guys!

I know one of the regulars on TFP has the PS2 controller-to-USB converter. I think they said it worked great! One of my friends has it, and he says that it only works good on a few games. Some of the button-mapping simply didn't work on some games, and he said the rumble feature worked very poorly or not at all on most games. I've never tried it myself, though!

Logitech makes a dual action game pad and a few others that work really well. Also the super Joy box company makes convertors for usb to ps2 controllers.

I like the Belkin.

The Belkin and the Thrustmaster pictured would both be wonderful, IF they also had force feedback support. UGH! Why can't some company out there realize the potential of an exact duplicate of Sony's controller for the PC? Is there somekind of copyright issue I'm unaware of? I found another Gravis gamepad that has the force-feedback, but the analog sticks are above the D-pad instead of below it. I guess I'll head to Circuit City and see if it feels too weird in my hands.

This...

...is your best bet.

VERY Cheap too, however a PS2 USB Converter is cheaper and works like a charm, only drawback is that it looks like a girly fashion accesory.

FF is overrated!
