Down in Johor Bahru here original console wired one selling at RM70, I'm using one now to play Devil May Cry 4.

No, too bad. If you have friends in Johor Bahru can ask them to buy and post to you.

That is so true. I use to buy PS2 style gamepad like Logitech Dual Action Gamepad but now I've turn to XBOX 360 controller as it's better.
But all gamepad sucks at FPS anyway. I'm going to get a WiiMote + Nunchuck on my PC to play FPS.

WiiMote can connect to pc via bluetooth, use a freeware called GlovePIE as "driver". If you have Wii then use the sensor bar, if not can buy a wireless one for about RM20. There are some video on Youtube showing CS:S by a WiiMote.

Maybe, don't own a Wii so no comment. I know control for RE4 on PS2 is ok-ish but not the best thing. But what I'm going to do is using the WiiMote to play PC FPS, unless the game is so pandai that can detect I'm using WiiMote instead of a mouse then dump down by itself... I believe using wiimote on pc fps is fun but I never say it will be better then keyboard+mouse because most people are so use to keyboard+mouse liao.

I think got, can't remember where I read it but the review said it just bizzarely not working. Not very sure though.

OEM = Original Entitled Manufacturer, basically means a hardware/software made by a manufacturer being licensed or authorized so that it is identical to original. OEM hardwares/softwares are not meant to be purchased by end user but to system builder or such. And these OEMs normally only come in the bare hardware/software itself without packaging, full warranty, extra goodies, etc. However, thanks to people with CONNECTION we end users actually can buy them easily in the market. Getting OEM is normally cheaper than getting original, and NO, pirated softwares/games DO NOT considered as OEM. But one should becareful when buying OEM because some people might sell rejected or stolen goods as OEM.

I've been using dual shock style controller for many years and recently I bought xbox 360 wired controller and I really find that the placement of analog stick, button, and trigger is better and more comfortable. Take a while to get familiar with it and you'll be fine.
... and since dual shock era which is like more than 10 years ago analog has become more popular than the d-pad...

1st: what's your budget?
2nd: is cable management an issue?
3rd: do you account for the extra battery cost if go wireless?
Think carefully before you purchase, and never regret on which you bought. Happy gaming

No, there is no need for any driver for WIRED controller to be used in Win7, it's plug & pray play. I know because I'm using one on Win7 RC.

And to toomanyrulez, if you want to get wired one, I bought mine OEM/1 month warranty for RM70, if you can get original for RM100 I'll say worth it as retail price should be RM149.

It seems like toomanyrulez is going to wireless

Yes if you are comparing wired 360 console controller to wired "for windows" 360 controller or Logitech gaming solution
No if you are comparing to those China brand pc gamepad.

As long as the game itself supports a gamepad as input, I don't see why it won't work. You can even use the controller to play old school windows games like Minesweeper with VIBRATION
