I have recently discovered http://coolrom.com and now think I need to acquire a PC gamepad. Any suggestions?

I use a wired 360 controller for rom gaming. I already had one so it just prevented me from having to buy another one. The only issue I ever had was not being able to use the L&R triggers as buttons (iirc they are 1 axis so L is negative R is positive and holding them both down is like the same as holding the R down 50% or something).

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 5:18 PM. Reason : I am wondering if playin ROM games will even work with this. Anyone had any experience with this?]

depends on the emulator

should work with most... IIRC, you just map buttons like a normal joystick

I've seen it for sale at Best Buy before, but I can't seem to find it on their website, so maybe they stopped selling it. Couldn't hurt to stop buy and take a look. I think they were over in the PC gaming section, as opposed to the console section.

Its cheaper to buy a wired 360 controller from Amazon. I just bought one brand new for $29 and free shipping. Its baller. It works well with the Resident Evil 4, especially if you install the 360 controller button pack.
