Hello guys,
Well, the desktop config u helped me with earlier is stil not delivered to me by hardware vendor, asus sound card is not available. anyways, this thread was an attempt to know which gaming pad i should buy, keeping in mind that I want to play Street Fighter 4. Budget is maximum upto 4K. cheers ;-)

^+1 for XBOX Game Pad.

It fits in your budget and is good. Also various gamepads are also available from Logitech and Twinshock.

I haven't used one but often seen people recommending Xbox gamepad at various places. So I think it is a good controller. Logiitech wireless is available for around Rs. 2500. You can consider that too as logitech's input devices are known for their accuracy.

i have used Logitech Rumblepad with 2 vibrators... i dont rate it at par with Xbox.... xbox controllers are more better... accurate... and easy to get used to...

^ as said XBOX controllers come in Wired & Wireless both models. If you buy wireless then you have to spend over batteries and if you choose wired then it will be great.

Well i started with Fifa and bought it mainly for that. then i started playing Gears of war with it and faced problem aiming with the controller. But then after some days of playing i am facing problem not playing with the controller. Now i cant imagine playing without it.

Go for any game and even if u have played it before ... you will enjoy it again

ppl hate wireless mouse for gaming caz of the wireless lag. same is true for wireless controller , there has to be some lags.

however if you don't play fast games (like those shooing FPS/TPS) you may not feel that bad.:???:
