Game Controllers

good grief, you must like racing games!

i've got a wired 360 controller i use for everything, but i'm planning on expanding soon.

i do a LOT of emulation of old game consoles on my PC, so i want to pick up a pair of proper SNES controllers and a pair of N64 controllers. you can get 2 player adapters for both that let you run them through USB. i figure these two should cover most systems. Genesis is a bit tricky with its 6 button pad, but the N64 controller has enough extras that i could map them out without too much trouble.

the 360 pad works well for modern windows games, but its d-pad is rubbish for things like Mario or Metroid. it's just not responsive enough...

oh i'd like a nice plain joystick too for older systems like Atari, but that's not priority right now...
