If you’ve ever used a Logitech wireless mouse ( which is what I swear by) the sensitivity is extremely high by default ( meaning I don’t have to move the mouse very much to make the arrow go all the way across the screen). So, now that I have spent twenty minutes programming my so-called “ Plug and Play” controller, I can start playing my games. This is where I had to decide which functions are more important and which ones will be acceptable to leave on the keyboard ( like screenshot, journals, pause menus, etc…)

As typical with PC ports of games, there are a lot more functions then there are buttons on a gamepad.

Once that is finished, I can open up X-padder ( which isn’t free anymore, it’s $10, which is honestly a great price for such a useful program) and then go through the steps to associate each gamepad button with the game features that I need.
Let me lay it out like this – first, open up the PC game to play, then open the key mapping page in-game and write down all the functions of the game and the associated keyboard keys. I always have to go online and track down a controller programming application, like X-Padder, to assign the buttons to the mouse and keyboard functions. Secondly, the “ Plug and Play” feature is barely acceptable, as I have never been able to just plug it in and use it (yes, I realize that “Plug and Play” means I don’t have to use an installation CD, but this is really a deceptive title for such hardware). First of all, it feels rubbery, which is an immediate turn off (this isn’t a gun, so I don’t need that kind of traction) and it feels gross if you’re really getting into a title and the palms start sweating ( this may be just a personal problem). It may look like it from the picture, or at a distance as it temptingly hangs from the rack at the store with the tiny price tag, but it does not feel or respond like the dual shock.

So I was forced, by my own hand no less, to purchase this piece, twice.Īs you can see by the pics (and I am showing the classic Dual Shock 2 PS2 controller for comparison), the controller is clearly designed to look and feel like a PS2 controller. Why, you ask? Because I am extremely impatient and I don’t want to wait for a good controller to be delivered by mail, and I hate the Craigslist “ back and forth” negotiations to obtain an item. Twenty dollars is twenty times what this controller is worth and yet I paid it twice. For only twenty bucks, I was like “ even if it sucks, I wouldn’t have lost too much.” Again, I was wrong.
If you go to Gamestop and ask for a PC controller, this piece of crap is what they will offer you.

This is what led me to the Steel Series 3GC PC Gamepad. I was wrong, as I have been informed in every game store I have visited, the corded 360 controller is no longer in production ( and is the only 360 controller that is automatic plug and play with Microsoft games), so I can’t find it new anymore. I sold one of my Xbox 360’s for some much-needed cash, letting the corded controller go with it since I liked my wireless ones for the 360, and I figured I would have no problem picking up a corded one for the PC later. I used to use the original Xbox 360 white, corded controller, as it was USB and allowed me to easily program it using X-padder for the games that weren’t automatically compatible (surprisingly enough games like Fallout: New Vegas and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimwill automatically detect the 360 controller plugged in and will adapt itself to the said device). I have personally purchased it twice, and both times I ask myself, “why…why self…why?” I have never been a big fan of the keyboard/mouse controls for most PC games, so I always end up using a controller.
