I want to get an affordable game controller for my PC. It needs to work on Windows & Linux Mint. A basic wired Xbox 360 controller seems like a good cheap option. However, I've heard mixed things about the d-pad on the controller. It looks good, but I'm never actually tried a Xbox 360 controller.
I need a good d-pad since I'm going to use it for some platformers (Dust, Trine) and fighting games (KOF, Skullgirls, Street Fighter IV).
I'm coming back to gaming after a long hiatus. If I get really into fighting games I might eventually get a fight stick/fight pad, but for now I just want an affordable controller that will let me try things out.
So is the d-pad on the Xbox 360 controller good? Is it at least okay? Are there better controllers that I should be looking at? Thanks.
