Are you nuts? Keyboard for life on the PC, no controllers.

And if you should wish to play something Arcade'ish like NFS or Flatout ?...

My 0.02 Euros is that I'm not a big fan of these adapter thingys. I've tried a couple, and it always feels like something gets lost in translation. For the PC, I'm using the Logitech Rumblepad 2 instead - It's similar to the DS2 in layout, and actually feels more precise....

But by all means, if it's radioshack and you're unhappy, I'm sure they'll refund it 👍

I used one too - it lost the analogueness (analogueosity?) of the D-pad, and no rumble - though it wasn't that specific model.

It works perfect for arcade games. I played pretty much every NFS game with a keyboard. And for simulations you need a wheel.

Obviously it does because of the analogue arrow keys... You can't beat a good controller with your keyboard - and I'm not listening to any reasoning on this Controller vs. Keyboard subject...

I used to have a PC controller that was 99.99% identical to the PS2 controller, with analog d-pad and rumble and all that guff, but I broke it due to over-use!

I've seen something like this, although i can't confirm what it's like (i didn't buy it). It's an interesting idea, and my friend said it worked ok, so go for it

Keyboard, FTW!

Well i went out and bought it yesterday. So far i have played GT LEGENDS and FIFA WORLD CUP 2006. This adapter works great, i recommend anyone to get this. It comes with a instalation cd, which only takes 1min to install. Then you plug and play
