Out of these 3:

Logitech dual action

Saitek p880

Saitek p2500

In a pad I'm looking for the best acting analog sticks, buttons that depress nicely, and nice ergonomics. I'm kinda weary of the logitech as I've read many calibration issues with the analog sticks...which do you suggest and why? Of course if you think another is better please pipe in (no wireless pads though)

I dont know anything about the saitek pads, but I would avoid the logitec dual action pads. I bought one before and it was the worst gamepad I ever owned. It felt like it was made of very cheap parts and basically became non-functional after a couple months. The left analog would touch the base of the pad before registering. You could recalibrate it, but it would only work for maybe 15 mins then youcouldnt move again.

What I would reccomend is getting a Playstation 2 controller and USB adapter. You can find the adapter for about $10 w/ vibration supported. If you dont have a PS2 controller you could prob pick up a used one for very cheap.

Hmm, I've owned the logitech for quite a while and have had no problem with it. I even use it quite regularly and I love it. I have to agree though, the ps2 controller/adapter option might be best.

Are the p880 and p2500 the exact same besides the 2500 having rumble support? I'm been wondering why the 2500 is cheaper....
