I was looking at one of those on Amazon. I might get that to start with but I think eventually I'll need an arcade stick of some kind. I dont want to spend a fortune but I want something that wont fall apart on me

It's been a great little investment for me. Had mine 2 years now and it's just as good as the first day I bought it.

Hmm... I've ran into a fair share of bugs on this site, but nothing like that.

**sezthemank** · 07-27-2009, 10:10 AM

I use the X-padder thing.
But it still dont work on Score mode!

For some reason the d-pad control works but the other buttons dont work!

**Kevin** · 07-27-2009, 10:38 AM

Are you talking about ArcadeOX score mode? That is the only way I play.

Is there something wrong with Aox score mode to make you use the keyboard or you are just better with the keys?

**Darkdragon** · 07-27-2009, 02:04 PM

Since I have nothing else, I use my keyboard.

**Slime Slayer** · 07-27-2009, 02:14 PM

saitek cyborg fps gamepad, a really great pad, a little pricey at 60$ retail, only issue was a button sticking, but i just played a round of balloon fight with a little butter on my thumb and that fixed it right up

I think its unfair to play games with a controller when possibly competing against people without one. I will admit though, once in a blue moon I'll play in the arcade or a tournament with a controller.

+1, for being a good sport
I usually just use my keyboard, but on occasion I use my Logitech Cordless Rumble Pad 2, it works well, plus it's wireless and I can play on my bed, and it wasn't that expensive it's $30 for the corded and (i think) $35 for the cordless

**Kevin** · 07-27-2009, 06:08 PM

The only time I use the keyboard is for flash games, and the occasional pinball game. I get the keys mixed up to easily.

Very Commendable, it would be even more so if I didn't think it unfair of me not to give you as much of an advantage as possible, you know, seeing as how you need it.

**Kugyince** · 07-27-2009, 09:37 PM

You can use whatever you want. I never said other people shouldn't use controllers, its just my personal choice. In the end, it just gives me more bragging rights.

**Slime Slayer** · 07-27-2009, 10:06 PM

not really, the keyboard controls are just as responsive as a controller, its just a matter of getting used to them

**Smittycal** · 07-27-2009, 11:24 PM

Thanks...ill check this link out in a few

Thats true if you used to them. My only issue with the keyborad however is with fighing games. I want to play Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter but my keyboard isnt going to cut it

I disagree.

**justinm26** · 07-28-2009, 05:25 AM

i'm getting rather good with the keyboard. still can't do worth a crap on stuff like super mario bros. don't know why those are so hard.

**Blue Shoe 2** · 07-28-2009, 09:14 AM

i use a saitek p880 controller

not very high end, but it served me well for years.

**sezthemank** · 07-28-2009, 11:11 AM

Mines called a explorer or somthing daft like that.

1942 -no difference
sf2 -big difference
although i still think that busting out a spinning pile driver could be mastered with the keyboard.
