Gamepad/joystick for driving games

[cute.bandar]

I don't know much about this subject. In a keyboard one can only either have full acceleration(press up arrow) or no acceleration(leave arrow). I need a gamepad/joystick so acceleration can be increased in steps. to make things more real. i hope I am clear. suggest something within 1k please. will buy from nehru place.

thanks (gotta go)

Do you need a complete wheel thing our a wingman design game pad.
Get lohitech rumble pad. Xbox360 controller is rather expensive.
A joy stick is not good for driving cars imo.

A wired 360 gamepad costs around 1300 but its quality is really worth it, the one i have now has been dealing with my abuse for one and a half years and still is performing like new, would strongly reccommend it

Due to MS marketing strategies... Some high profile games support Forcefeedback only on X360 controller. And all most all games have native support. So, even if it is a couple of bucks costly.. It is definitely worth it.

Go for Xbox 360 controller for PC. If I am right, this one is supported by most of the games.

ok I have been doing some research and it seems for driving I need a controller with dual analog sticks. right ? so that both acceleration and steering can be adjusted in steps.
Does the cheap frontech gamepad come with dual analog sticks ? its got some good reviews and is much cheaper than xbox, so I am considering it...

Frontech game pad jil series is having a good design with a messed up driver.
All nfs games give wrong vibration feedback.
The d pad is too tight. And the analog sticks are the worst type i've ever used. It gives you features but they are far from perfect or rather useful.
Get logitech or the 360 controller. They are the best. You can use a popular 360 controller emulator with the logitech controller if it's not compatible with a particular game.

frontech gamepad reviewed by whom? trust me when you use analog sticks quality does matter in the heat of gaming you can not always be kind and nice to your gamepad and low quality analog stick pads dont last half a month

^^^i borrowed frontech gamepad and analogue experience has'nt been that bad for me.
It may be cuz i never used xbox 360 controller. Tested on ninja blade, fifa11.
.
Altho i wish to buy one, i think rs1500 is but too much.
Any website that gives it for less capital (+ octroi)

XBOX 360's controller has two triggers that can be used for "step" accelaration.
