hi guys,
i got my hands onto DMC3 SE, unfortunately, it can only be played with a gamepad.
so i scouted nehru place, but could only find logitech's, precision gamepad.this thing doesn't have a analogue controller!

i live in delhi, can anyone suggest me a decent controller around or under Rs 1,000.
and please, address of the shop is of great importance.

Logitech dual action gamepad with 12 configurable buttons and left and right analog stick for around Rs.1200. Bought it recently in november for my experience with PES6.

to enjoy racing games on Laptop, you do need a GamePad.
but make sure you're Laptop is on AC Power while gaming, coz the gamepad motors will Drain the Battery QUICKLY.

^^it depends.

for the Third Person Shooter Games, i prefer Mouse+Keyboard Combo controls.

^^Mouse+Keyboard contollers is one of the reason, that i didn't Move to Consoles.

Do tel me .the rates of above 1k ones .. ;)

and dude .. dont buy those cheap chinese .. they are crap..
I had a bad experience with them

ATLEAST TAKE LOGITECH DUAL ACTION :D
-> *www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2225,CONTENTID=6951

spend 1k or more .. you will get a good investment of your money ..
going above that u can have the vibration feedback/wireless .. but that will be way above your budget. so I am not telling you those.

I might also take one .. if get any of these available in Delhi.
Can anyone tell me the price of these gamepads in India ..
(I dont think I would need to open a new thread for this .. so posting here)

well, microsoft xbox 360 controller for windows costs Rs 1750/-

anyways, the built quality of local companies is too bad to hold them!

the best soln i found was a PS2 controller(Rs350) + USB atachment(Rs 150) = a PC gamepad (rs 500)

PS2 local controllers are excellent quality ones, lovely to hold them

i dunno about the PS2 thing, but for 500 bucks, you can have two GamePads & enjoy multiplayer (split screen) games, with friends.
