game pads

im getting a bit fed up tying my fingers in knots while attempting to play games on the pc, can anyone recommend a control pad that will play up to date games without having to use the keyboard( cheap and cheerful if possible) but must be functional...cheers

There are tons of them out there Sam, here's one that I've heard good reports on from a few people Cyborg Rumble Pad, though I have to say I'm set in my ways and still prefer the keyboard for games.

There is a good logitech pad very similar to playstation one which I have.

There is also an upgraded, and more expensive version too

i used to use a Microdoft sidewinder, which was very good. You can also get a version that you tilt (much like a Wii pad), avoid that one like the plague.

Get an official Microsoft Xbox 360 controller.
You can get one for around 15 - 25 pounds.

It plugs streight into the USB, and includes a CD with any hardware you need.

You can also get a wireless one, with a wireless controller USB hub,
So you plug the little hub box into the USB port and your sorted, No wires.
