Hello,

I am looking at getting a new USB Game Pad. Do you have
any recommondations?

I have also read that in order to use the rumble feature,
the game that you're playing must have the programming for
it. Is this true? Do you think paying the extra for
rumble is worth the money?

Thanks,

Jason

This all depends on your preferences. I like the original Playstation
controller, so I use a Gravis Gamepad Pro. There is a way to use an
XBox controller on your computer as well. You just need to test them
out and see what you like best. Also, for the feedback, again, it
depends on what you like. For first person shooter games, I love
feedback since it lets you know when people have hit you. It does make
some games more fun, but again, you just need to decide if it is worth it.

I suggest going to your local computer store such as BestBuy as check
out their controllers. Look at them and see what suits your style the
best
