Gonen32: Good thread sir, good indeed. Its only a matter of time until I'l stop being a cheap fuck and buy a controller. I actually have games that pretty much NEEDS a controller for them and I don't play them because of that. Also, keyboard ghosting, ugh.

I'm 90% going for an XB1 controller. Why the rest 5% you ask ? Because as far as I know not all games are 100% compatible with that (like the 360 controller), is it right ?
Unless things have changed that's correct. But it's either go with a Logitech controller, which has better support (old and new games), or X1 (mostly "newer" games).

Here is list of all the games that supports X1/360(XInput):

_Slaugh_: I'm currently using a <span class="bold">Logitech F710</span>. It's a wireless gamepad that supports two different modes: X-Input and DirectInput.

In X-Input mode, it acts as a XBOX 360 controller and requires no driver (I'm using Window 7). The DirectInput mode is used for backwards compatibility with older games (many of them can be found on GOG).

There's also a wired version, the <span class="bold">Logitech F340</span>.
Actually, it's called Logitech F310 but i'm sure it's just typo on ur part. ;)

Because math is overrated anyway ?

I think you meant F510, F310 doesn't have vibration. (which can actually be toggled on/off on F510)

The Logitech F510 was <span class="bold">discontinued</span> in North America in 2012.  You can easily find a used or refurbished F510, but it's hard to find a brand new one.

Yeah, actually it's not just discontinued in North America but pretty much everywhere else i think. So while the wired version of the F710 is technically the F510, it's isn't officially available anymore so the closest version is naturally the F310.

Oh, I didn't know that. Any idea why Logitech discontinued it? I used it previously and it was a great product imo.

I wished i knew. I mentioned a possible reason on another similiar thread but i doubt it since it dun make sense to me. Personally i liked the F510 as well, it's a shame it got discontinued. I hope a new & better version for it appears soon.

probably because it was canibalizing the sales of the more expensive F710 ...

Well, it 'might' be a possibility but given the no. of competing similiar controllers to F510 by other brand manufacturers in the mkt, i wld say that is unlikely.

As i had sort of explained in the other thread, ppl looking to buy the F510 probably choose it as they prefer a wired controller with rumble. The removal or absence of F510 wld not necessary push consumers towards both ends of the spectrum, namely the F310 &/or F710. So unless those buyers r loyal or fans of Logitech, they wld most likely look elsewhere to find similiar products to F510 instead.

I just use my ps2 controller to play my games with. I just use x360ce to convert the controller to a xinput. Since most of the newer games aren't compatible with directinput sadly. Only a handful do. Like Trine and the Ys games for example. However most developers don't bother so it's up to me to use x360ce files and copy them from one game folder to the next. :)

I have a xbox360 controller.
Works with most games.
I also have a Logitech dual action gamepad
but in some games it ends up being wery weird configured so i usually just end up using my 360 pad annyway.
