Well, my experience with made-for-PC joypads are that they are less well made, eventually require cracking open to do some small repair, and don't have the buttons I want and need. The XBox controller on the other hand has a 4 or 6 button configuration, depending on how you lay it out which makes for fantasitc emulations, a start and select button, as well as the standard shoulder buttons. It's brilliant, well made, and designed to take abuse.

My next project is to see if I can make a wireless one work.

On the subject of joysticks/gamepads, I used to have a Gravis Gamepad, which was about the best you could get on the pc. Right now though if I ever need to use one, I have a usb adapter that lets me plug my Playstation 2 controler into my PC. So I just use that.
