I play Halo now with keyboard and mouse but ordered a Mad Catz PC Con yesterday. It's just like the Xbox Controller S so it'll make Halo much easier to play for me. I only own one other computer game besides Halo, so keyboard 'n' mouse isn't my forte.

I take my 360 controller and use it sometimes. Mostly mouse and keyboard though.

Heyyo,

WASD & Mouse for life. ;)

Gamepad's only for vehicles in games like BF2 and racing games.

YA know that feeling...
and it's so counter intuitive.

I love my 8 button mouse.

8 button's? Damn, I only have 7.

You can fiddle around with all of the controller's on the planet, but the chance's of you beating a skilled keyboard/mouse user, are slim. I'm not trying to say everyone using controller's suck, they are just at a disadvantage.

I just picked up a metal gaming mouse pad, and am impressed with the control I have now. Check it out.

When you have to keep picking your mouse up to move your sensitivity is probably wayyy too low.

Sorry cheif, I don't have a link for the pad. My mouse is a Logitech mx518, the pad I purchased at circuit city for 17.00 buck's.

Good luck.

Xbox 360 controller for windows has a very nice feel to it once you get used to it.
