Which 6-button pad do you use for PC version of AE?

Tech Talk
1

just asking because i’m planing on purchasing AE on PC but i only got an old PS2-like pad, and since there hasnt been any late release of new 6 button PC pads, i wonder what you guys play with?

is Saitek planning on releasing new models of those ?

Whenever I use a PC 6 button pad, I use a SLS PC Saturn 6 button pad.

The madcatz 360 one is what I did use for a while - ended up going for a TE, so would use that these days.

4

but the madcatz 360 has a 4 button layout, i’m talking of 6 button ones… anyway i didnt know there were TE for PC

its kind of strange there aren’t new 6 button pads out for the release of AE, how are you supposed to play it decently ?

5

I dunno, there’s quite a few Madcatz 6 button pads at my local Gamestop, and there are those new PDP 6 button pads, if you like the microswitch click sensation.

6

you talking of fightpads like the ones for 360 and PS3 ? if so, i’m not sure there’s a PC version of these

I used a Moddifed SNES pad for my PC game pad playing

360 pads are compatible with all PCs, and third-party PS3 pads are as well. You can also get the official Sony PS3 pads to work as well, but you’ll have to find drivers on your own.

i wasn’t aware of that, i’ll try it, thx

Saitek p990. cheap and effective.
sega saturn pad for pc is good too

11

yeah pity they dont make them anymore, nor the p880

i wonder what Saitek’s thinking, really

Pdp Marvel Versus pad. Works like a charm. They make them PS3 and 360 now and without the Marvel artwork.

13

I use a TE and a Madcatz SSFIV PS3 PAD… No drivers, just plug and play on the pad.

14

I use a Saturn controller paired with a RetroKit. http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=50

Saturn USB pad off eBay, though the ones there now are apparently dire quality.

Hori are bringing this out next month:
Fighting Commander 3 pro
Could try that, it’s cheap.
