Please help me!
I need a game pad for my PC.
I need a VFM game pad for playing game like prince of persia.lara croft,NFS,street fighter etc and arcade game too....
I want to spend as less as possible.
BTW,what is rumble ?
And r those all game pads vibrate when they used ?
 
budget?

talking bout vibrating...it depends upon the nature of the game,whther it supports vibration or not!

i have SVB dual-shock pads bought from ebay@.5k
 
The only thing you are going to get for two to three hundred bucks are those cheap chinese dual shock knock-offs.

I've used that Frontech one. It's ~500 bucks. It's pretty bad, but still a lot better than the knock-offs. Adequate for games like POP or NFS, but terrible for SFIV.

Oh! And since no one answered this, rumble is just vibration and nearly every gamepad, even cheap ones have this feature. Some games support it. If memory serves the NFS series has always had force feebdback/rumble.
 
Are Zebronics Gamepads expensive ?

I saw one on their website Zebronics ZEB-100JP.

Otherwise I have to save some money and have to wait.....:(
 
I know you really don't want to hear this, but if you can save and be a bit more patient I would really suggest spending on the Microsoft XBox Gamepad. These chinese pads won't last you more than 2-3 months and I've been using the XBox gamepad for around 1.5 years not without any issues. And most games come with native support for that which is an added advantage.
 
Get XBox 360 gamepad, would cost ~1.3k.

I have used 5 chinese game-pads, all have went bad. The buttons get bad with time, so does the analog stick.

Spending ~1.3k on XBox 360 gamepad is totally worth it and will actually turn out cheaper in long run. Morever you won't have to worry about bad analog stick, bad button with XBox 360 gamepad.

Try XBox 360 gamepad and chinese gamepad, not only XBox 360 gamepad is accurate but it feels solid in you hands and gives you good feeling.

If you don't like XBox 360 gamepad, you can go for Logitech Gamepad(~1.1k) OR Logitech RumblePad 2(~1.9k).

Yes. You won't be able to play Grid(just example) without an XBox 360 Gamepad(can play on keyboard).
 
Also, that Zebronics gamepad is the same as the Frontech one. The analog sticks are crap. I believe it costs around the same too.

Like the two posters above have said, try saving up for the X360 Pad. I've been thinking of picking up a second one myself. Anyone know a good place to pick one up in Mumbai? I don't want to go all the way from Chembur to Lamington just for this.
 
If you need a VFM gamepad, try Quantum's Gamepad. Its got rumble too.

And as other members said, the analog key will give problem,i think i'm lucky in this part.I'm using it from the last 2 years and it never gave me any problem.

Got it for Rs.210/- from a local dealer in New Delhi.

Just give it a try.
 
Last Wednesday I went to Chandni,Kolkata.
I was quoted X-Box 360 wired gamepad(white color) for Rs.1200/- but shopkeeper told me that it got only 3 months of warranty.....:(
Is that true ?
 
^Yeah he's right.
