PC Controllers and Peripherals

If want something for fighting games get something like this:

In my opinion the best game controller are the playstation 3 controllers. Im currently using those after market xbox enhanced gaming ones and honestly they arent that great. They were like 40 bucks each but they just dont have a good feel.

Also the play station 2 controllers are great too its just you need to pick up an adapter. They are a couple bucks off amazon.

On the topic of controllers, is there any trick to getting a PS3 controller's battery working again? I hardly use my PS3, and I must have let one of them sit with a low charge for too long, because now it won't charge. It works if I plug it in as a controller, but no matter how long it's plugged in for it won't take a charge. It says it is charging on the screen, but it isn't. Sucks.

trying to decide on a wireless mouse for gaming, mostly RPG, RTS and MMO, I use my 360 controller for everything that would be better with a controller but my current mouse/keyboard are just your standard every day use models. I was looking at the Logitech G700s but thought I would check on here to see if anyone had any suggestions.

Can't beat the razer deathadder for Fps games and MMOs/RTS (I use it in SC2). It is fucking great, nice weight and good dpi

Additionally, the PS4 DualShock 4 is instantly recognizable as a USB controller. Works really well.

fixed that for you. I'm pissed I didn't stock up on g9x when it was 38$ on amazon

plz Wakandan I have been using a Death Adder for like 5 or 6 years now and haven't had to replace it.. and I am talking marathon weekends of Counterstrike and SC2.

To be honest I've never used a Logitech, but since I liked the Death Adder so much I figured if it wasn't broke don't fix it.

I had 2 deathadders (both laptop and desktop) and they both went to shit in less than 2 years. One just died, the other doesn't "click" anymore when you press the button (no feedback). Used the G9 for like 5 years without issues.

Only issue I've had is after 5 years the braiding on the wire is completely torn up.

Almost the same experience I've had two Razer mice. The Deathadder went tits up after a year and just stopped working altoegher. The other had the same feedback button you had... push the button and no click. Eerie.

Razer sabertoothis amazing....for regular games. Would pay double for this controller if I had to. Fighting I would actually recommend its younger brother's dpad (Razer ONZA), although you may still like this one.

In terms of regular gameplay though, for things such as Dark Souls, Darksiders, Batman, even casual FPS'ing (if you're the type who likes to play in Big Picture mode on the couch) whatever, this is by far the best. Has two extra buttons up top, and two VERY well placed paddles on the back, that are removable as well. The paddles are extremely easy to press too, which is a big deal I think.All of the buttons are mechanical, I might add, instead of membrane. What these extra 4 buttons do, is enable you to play without ever making you move your thumbs off of the analog sticks. I got this due to Gears of War, and my inability to play claw on a controller. This enabled me to wall bounce like crazy.


Also, the ONZA tournament edition is VERY nice in that, it allows you to tighten or loosen the torque on the analog sticks themselves. For me I like more resistance. It gives more control when aiming. Its dpad is nice, but I think could give you blisters for your thumbs if you play fighters for hours upon hours.

As Sean said, if you plan on playing seriously, just get an arcade stick.

RAT 7 on sale for $60 anyone have any experiance with this mouse reviews seem mixed on slickdeals.
