i couldnt find a gamepad for my pc i liked
the majority available are either playstation pad knock offs (playstation pads make my hands hurt, too uncomforable) or just retarded

the solution: get a second hand xbox pad off ebay and solder a usb connector onto it

and i once made myself a wallet out of duct tape, it lasted about a year before it started falling apart and i couldnt be bothered to make another

gamepads
of all three of the last generation gamepads i reckon the gamecubes one was easily the best. you might want to try your wizardry with one of those. just a thought.

shame the GC game designers themselves
couldnt design a decent control setup to save their lives. that 007 james bond shooter on the GC was the shittest control setup I've ever had the misfortune to try and use.

Don't Microsoft
Make XBox controllers which have a standard A type USB plug on them for using with PCs?

They do.
And they're the king of controllers, and they do a wireless version. But all this only started when the 360 came out.

Not so
The original Xbox used USB controllers, so you can plug them straight into your PC with the appropriate 99p from eGay adaptor, or plug a mouse/keyboard into your Xbox - useful if you have XBMC like me.
