When Phantasy Star Universe comes out, I want to have a controller ready to play. Does anyone have experience with a good analog PC controller or even a PS2- or GCN-PC adapter? Also, low price is always nice. ;)
Thanks in advance.

I use PC controllers just fine. I recommend Saitek and Nyko (AirFlo).

How about the wired 360 controller?

The Nyko Air Flo Ex got pretty good reviews, and is only $20. The 360 wired controller is a good idea, but it's kind of expensive. I still want to check out those adapters and maybe just use one of my console controllers.
I would just get a PS2 or XBox to USB converter so you can use a PS2 or Xbox controller on PC. Right now they are free after rebate at Fry's

I got a $10 USB-PS2 adapter at Fry's a while back, and it's fine.

I use this ps2-like USB "Gamer Force" pad from Best Buy, $5. I've had it for 3 years now, works great.

I use this (http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=10&products_id=3833&) PS2 to computer adapter to play PC games using the PS2 or PSOne controller. It works great.

Figured I'd ask here: Does anyone have/know of a PS2->USB that will allow me to use dance pads (ie: I can hit multiple directions at once for a 'jump') as well as use the PS1/PS2 analog sticks? The one I've got right now is a PS1 converter that allows me to do the jumps, but it doesn't recognize the analog sticks. Two port would be a bonus, but isn't 100% necessary :)

I plan to play PSU on my PC anyway. It's already connected to the Internet without any add-ons, or routers. :lol:
I use a Nyko AirFlo EX for PC. It's just like a Dual Shock 2, but lighter, and the analog sticks are stiffer. Meaning that your character doesn't go off in random directions, 'cause your finger twitched for a second. :roll:
I wish I could use it on my PS2. That way I could play PS2 FPS games, and actually be able to aim. Not spray an area with my machine gun hoping at least 1 of the shots hits the target. :bomb:
