Gaming pad (max 2.5k)

[Akshay]

I am looking for a gaming pad (like those with xbox / PS3, etc.) for my PC - wireless one. I would be playing crysis 2 and similar games and may be something like NFS. I have never used one before so I have no clue about the price and compatibility here.

I am using a PC with Windows 7 HP 64bit, Core i5, H67, 6850 toxic, 4GB DDR3 Gskill RAM.

I googled for the same and came across some wireless models from Logitech and Microsoft Xbox controller. My budget is around Rs.2-2.5k and should have vibration feedback. Please advice.

@NitrousNavneet: I hope you understand the difference between

Wired & Wireless.

Microsoft Products vs Frontech Products.

2years warranty vs unknown warranty

Quality product vs elcheapo & random bsod's after frequent usages.

@OP: Go with Microsoft XBox 360 Controller Wireless or wired, both are worth of the money.

Thnx for the inputs everyone. Will check it out at landmark / croma store in Mumbai.

@ NitrousNavneet - like d3p5kor said you can't compare a frontech PS2 clone gamepad with MS Xbox 630 controller and Op has asked for wireless controller anyway.

Another fact is a wide range of games support Xbox 360 controller and you don't have to set up it manually but that's can'tbe said about 400 bucks gamepad and personally I think that xbox 360 looks cool.

BTW, For your information - I've seen that frontech gamepad is retailing around ~ Rs. 250

yup, Xbox 360 controller wireless is what you should go for as it is supported out-of-the-box by a very wide range of games.

I would strongly suggest the MS X360 Controller. There are a wide variants of it from many manufacturers like from Razer, Cyborg and logitech.
