I think the Xbox 360 is by far the best console controller ever.
However on a PC I would still use a keyboard and mouse... I stopped PC gaming a while ago though

Yes I agree about keyboard and mouse being the best for certain games like FPS and role playing ect.
Games that works best is games like Overlord, Dirt and GT2. Also sport games plays better using the wireless controller.
Why did you stop playing pc games?

I stopped a while ago and stopped because I didn't want to buy a new graphics card. I started again last year and then my PC crashed and I had to upgrade to play some new game.. to much effort to be entertained
It is also unsocial and not as comfortable as sitting on my couch
I originally made my PS2 controller to parallel port cable so I could play GTA3 on the PC. Definitely made the game more fun. My PC is generally also connected to my TV.
What I prefer about console games is being able to insert the disc and play.

I kinda understand where you coming from.
I just bought a 8800GTX and already spent a small fortune on upgrading my pc over the years
On the other hand I cant wait to get my hands on Crysis from Crytek

...doesn't know
hmmm... i've found out that keyboard and mouse are the best for every thing, only the control is more user friendly, it had every thing just there, keyboard needs more knowing of where the keys are and can get messy in some games.
I must say that the xbox360 is the best controller out atm. Lets hope that the new rumble control sony is going to pump out will be a fresh design and not the same thing that the current one.
I do how ever find that a control for consoles are to slow and inaccurate for fps and this gets annoying.
If you think that a control is better for racing games then keyboard, then you should get shown wat a proper racing wheel can do(i mean the ones for a R1000 not the ones for a R100). telkom had a stand at nag lan last year, and they were playing NFS:MW, Oh my lord, what a beautiful setup. Sure i was unbeatable but thats not the point. if i had 15 000 bucks, i would get the same setup(23 inch screen attached to the racing seat setup, a good steering wheel, ad a good pc to play the game)

True I would not mind getting a proper steering wheel like Logitech's G25.
I wonder if the new Microsoft steering wheel would be compatible with the MS receiver for the pc.

It is. It's one of the main reasons they released the adapter, because you could already use wired 360 controllers on a PC.
Which is ironically how I got sucked into the 360. I originally bought the 360 wired controller to fly planes in BF2, and after using it for an assortment of games like psychonauts I was really comfortable with it.
