Post by: Cyrus on December 06, 2004, 10:24:41 AM

I just got my beta copy of the matrix online and now I need a game controller. I have never played games on my pc (yes i know to some of you this is sad) but I figure I dolled out enough cash for the xbox and ps2 why bother with the pc


anyway......

I need a usb perferably came controller is for the matrix online is there any people like specifaclly. I dont want to drop a big hunk of cash either. Will any USB controller work for all games?

My advice? Go over to NCSX.com and pick up the new Sega Saturn USB Controller. If for no other reason than the fact the Sega Saturn had the single greatest controller of all time.

How is Matrix Online Beta? Heard some fairly negative things about it.

logitech controller seem like a safe bet.  Pretty much a copy of  the PS2 controller, only USB.  

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=26-127-207&depa=0

that one there is only $25, they also have the same one minus the rumble feature for $19.

I\'d go for a Logitech model as well.  You can get a USB adapter for your PS2 controllers but the analog sticks of the Sony controllers suck.  They give you no control compared to the tight ones Logitech makes..

I have  a Logitech Wingman Rumble Gamepad.  Best controller ever, only problem with it was the thumb sticks break after time.. They split straight through the middle, so i had to fix them.  

Just get a USB PS2 Adapter like THX said, i\'ve got one that supports 2 ps2 controllers with all the extra crap. Very cool device.

i have a dualshock USB adapter.  its called the SmartJOY plus.  its about 15 bucks, so if you have an extra ps2 controller around pick it up.  it functions as normal.
