Thanks, I checked their homepage and it looks good. Just one question, which button do you use for the Z button? What about the Start button?

What is that red thing (button?) on the top-left of the white buttons?

Mm. The red shift button next to the face buttons doesn't seem to do anything. And the button in the middle lets you use the crosspad as the stick (instant 100% press) just in case.
I normally have Start on the left stick click (the sticks click, just like on PlayStation and Xbox controllers), and I just set different profiles in the input plugin, since no game I can think of requires both the L and Z buttons. Usually I just put Z on the L button and make L the right-stick click, though, since it's so rarely necessary.

ok, that's good enough. 
I've looked around the web, and the P880 doesn't seem to be for sale outside the US. (And their US webshop won't ship outside US/Canada either).
know of any way to get a P880 outside the US? maybe it has export restricions because it's such an excellent controller....
Investigating the matter further, I found out that the P2500 can be shipped here (Sweden) from the UK, at least something...

The onyl difference from the p880 I notice is that it has rumble. do you notice any other?

You have a problem with the N64 pad? :huh:Fetta said:
Nothing like the original as far as I'm concerned.

Nope.
The P880, P2500, and P3000 are all virtually identical. The only differences are that P880 is vanilla gamepad, P2500 has rumble added, and P3000 is wireless (with rumble IIRC).

I've had the Logitech WingMan Cordless gamepad for about a year now. Works great for N64 games, has rumble (any the rumble isn't total crap like on the N64's pads!). Its Logitech, so as expected it works great. Little big, but it is light and fits my hand shape perfect. Purchased mine for $29.99 at my local Walmart. It also has a nice start button, which helps for n64 games.

i live in the philippines and have an adaptoid from jandaman. if i can buy an adaptoid, i'm sure you can too unless you can't afford $37 us dollars.
i had it a week ago, playing with a real n64 controller on n64 emulators is the best compared to any pc gamepad. with the n64 controller you get the "gaming experience" as originally intended bhy the game developer of the specific game your playing for the n64.
so forget about buying pc pads.
go to jandaman.com right now!

Aww no, no, no. The reason I don't get an adaptoid is two reasons:
I can't be arsed
AND
The n64 controllers control stick break after certain time (ie, it gets real worn out, you'll have to press really hard to make Link run in OOT after a while).
This doesn't happen on PC gamepads...so there.
Besides, if you need to press a little lesser or more, use n-rage's input plugin and define a macro. So easy and no waste of money.

That's because you're so heavy-handed. You need to be more gentle with your toys. =]Doomulation said:

Meh. They still tend to get worn out after a while. I've played on a friend's controller which *is* worn out and damn i hated it. =]Allnatural said:
