I'm thinking about buying the Logitech Chillstream. Opinions? - Games

I'm thinking about buying one of these: [img]http://www.technopolis.bg/catalog/DE/DEC853F5105A00F1A90A002481B479E9.jpg[/img] It's PC only and it costs about 25$. If anyone owns one of those/similar, can you tell me any pros/cons before I buy it?

Looks like an Xbox360 controller, I have a normal xbox controller, it's pretty sweet for some games. What games would you want to play?

I'm sure it controls well but you're better off just getting a 360 controller, it's compatible with more games than other controllers.

It looks horrible and uncomfortable Also shameless 360 copy. Just get the real thing.

I had a PS3 one, It is very bad, and only worth it because it is half the price of normal controllers

[QUOTE=Pj The Dj;21701677]It looks horrible and uncomfortable Also shameless 360 copy. Just get the real thing.[/QUOTE] It is supposed to be a copy of the 360 controller, but for the PC. And in the end, I think I'll buy it, because it's cheap enough and if it sucks, I will be less annoyed if I spent 25$ instead of 50$.

Or you can just buy a xbox 360 controller for 23$. Wireless is also 26$ but you would need the 20$ wireless receiver. [url]http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Controller/dp/B000B6MLTQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1272885177&sr=8-4[/url]

The wired 360 is excellent for PC games that work better with a controller.

[QUOTE=Stopper;21715776]And how do I connect it to my PC?[/QUOTE] it uses USB

[QUOTE=reapaninja;21715847]it uses USB[/QUOTE] Shiny. Then it's settled. A wired X360 controller, it is.

[QUOTE=OutOfExile;21701660]I'm sure it controls well but you're better off just getting a 360 controller, it's compatible with more games than other controllers.[/QUOTE] This.

[QUOTE=Pj The Dj;21701677]It looks horrible and uncomfortable [/QUOTE] Exactly this. I don't know if is easy to grab it. I only have one gamepad the first of my life for PC and It works good( is from GameStop). I recommend you to buy a 360 or a normal one.

OP if you haven't bought it yet and you're looking for something cheap I use this: [img]http://www.tecmosb.com/Images/Logitech-DualAction.jpg[/img] I'd rather have a 360 controller but this is great for its price

But none of the alternatives have the gimmicky air circulation. Perhaps this is a selling point to some sweaty people.

The fans are LOUD, but they definitely keep you chilled. It just depends on how much of a deal breaker force-feedback is to you, it's a really good gamepad. I have it and it's been through quite a bit, still works perfectly

I heard that the Chillstream is incredibly uncomfortable and very loud. A wired 360 controller would be a far better option.

Xbox 360 controller is the standard of PC controllers oddly enough. Get that.

Thinking about it, there's little I do like about the 360 controller, the d-pad is pretty much unusable for anything other than quickbuttons and I find the analogue sticks are.. uncomfortable and inaccurate. Does anyone know of any good immitation ps3 controllers for pc?

The PS3's analogue sticks have very little resistance and generally feel very awkward to use.

If you absolutely insist on using a PS3 controller for PC, you can just plug it in with USB and download some drivers somewhere. There's guides everywhere.

And another one, for around the same price. One has rumble, the other doesn't.
