The point is that the 360 pad has a garbage D-pad. A significant segment of PC gamers who would want a gamepad would likely use it for emulation, at least almost everyone I know, and so the D-pad needs to be good.
Once again, the 360 pads, both wired and wireless, tend to have absolutely garbage and broken d-pads out of the packaging...some aren't actually messed up, but I would wager about 80 percent or so are...
Thats the only reason I'm throwing that link out...that and the fact that the logitech controller I link to is actually pretty damn comfortable.
Anyways, I'll get mine within the week and maybe I'll post a review in the PC section or something.
