I was thinking of buying this *cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170410798749

but it's too costly

Fps games are best played with a mouse.. according to me..
but if u insist , gamepad would definetly be a better choice

Definitely a gamepad. An xbox 360 controller should be perfect.

^^is it enjoyable by mouse or by xbox controller ? which is more gud ?

as people say k/b+mouse is best for FPS games. Look for MX518 logitech mouse.

Keyboard + Mouse PWNS them all!!

KB and mouse is the best.....keep the game pad for games like Devil may cry and prince of persia...

ok ..fir to gamepad ya joystick lena bekar hai ..tell me any gud and cheap USB KB for my lappu ? my acer 5536 keys are too small for gaming

Logitech kbd+ mouse combo comes for 700 bucks or so. I say stick to laptop keyboard and get a good gaming mouse like MX518 @ 1.5k. Other than FPS games, best bet it Xbox 360 wired controller for 1.2k.

i am using a logitech mx 518 and i dont need to use a gamepad or joustick. keyboard i use tvs gold ..no frill but absolute reliability as i keep on thumping the keys....it gives no issues...thanks..

TVS Gold is a great keyboard, although it is PS/2, not USB. My friends have been using it for 5-9 years, no issues.
