Should I purchase a joystick or a gamepad?

[soumya]

Guys, I want to purchase either a joystick or a gamepad. Since frontech is locally available, here are their two products :-

Joystick :-

P.S. I play all types of games!

Go for gamepad
Joystick allows you only to play Flight simulators.

I would suggest you to buy a game pad because it would be very easy for you to play hands like fighting genre and also those racing see if game pads were not good would playstation x box all include hand pad with them they are very good to play unless you like sims soccer need for speed smackdown you can easily play these games i think this much description would be enough to persuade you for buying a gamepad but if you only play fligt simulator i would suggest you a joystick

I suggest Gamepad.it will play all your games with pleasure of console playing.[fighting,racing,advanture, all] joysticks are now outdated n they are mostly used in simulator type games.

GO FOR GAMEPAD

out of joystick and gamepad, gamepad would definitely be a better option. however, be sure you'll be able to use one. i rcently bought myself a gamepad but just couldn't use it coz i was so used to a keyboard. its just lying in a corner gathering dust

Go for gamepad.And dont buy Frontech.

I had that Joystick you have linked above, it totally sucked even for Flight Simulators. NEVER go for Frontech, NEVER.

[satanlives]

dude dont buy frontech theyer absolutely horrible..
my analog stick broke right after my warranty expired
look for a good gamepad wich looks like a ps2 controller..
or go for the logitech ones..

 

[csczero]

xbox controller ROCKS

Go in for a gamepad as Joystick would hardly have much games compatibility except for,like others said,flight simulators.Some of the games are distinctly enjoyed on a gamepad only.If you try to install POP:WW it specifically comes up with a message saying "This game is best played on a controller" or something like that.Now-a-days many games are getting more comfortable to be played around with the controller,spare for FPS which I think is best left on mouse+keyboard combo.Frontech is a relatively cheap brand.The keys wont sustaina longer life & hence would be rendered unresponsive after prolonged usage.

Go in for either the Logitech or the very recent Xbox 360 controller.The former would cost you anywhere between Rs.1,200 to Rs.2,000 & the latter would be around Rs.2,200.Make a choice according to your game preference.
