kingfish Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 My game pad is too sensitive and I'm in the market for a new one. Anyone have any game pad suggestions? I'm looking at this babe: thrust master

★ ZiGNoTZaG Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 If you are running windows98 an old rage3d by thrustmaster is the most superior Gamepad for ss ever made. Tons of buttons and the pad on this particular device has just the right amount of travel when switched into its digital mode, and very little resitance so you can play along time without finger pain. It will not function on winXP tho. Most other gamepads, with crummy D-pads, and analog sticks just plain suck. Ive got a whole pile of them. 6. The D-pads are often quite stiff and require a considerable amount of break in time to work nicely, if it ever will at all. The analog sticks have about a mile of travel, totaly killing your reaction times. I finally ended up modifying a Logitech wingman with some glue and washers to take alot of the travel out of the analog stick. After some tricky calibration...its been my best replacement for my rage3d's(of which i burnt out 4 in my ss time) So...good luck. I have alot of gamepads...and they pretty much all suck for ss. Too sensative...Too stiff...Too much travel...not enough buttons... I miss my rage3d. http://www.zignotzag.net/images/subspace/vector/VectorWhat.png Vector What?

Synister Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 Whoa you can use gamepads for ss?! OMG I knew that you can use them for pc.. just never thought it would work for certain games like ss. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Synister05/siggy4.jpgReturning to SS soon...maybe.Anything is only as difficult as the mind percieves it to be.
