My friend has been pestering me to pick up Winning Eleven 7 and a second controller for the PC, but I wasn't willing to buy another Airflo gamepad, and I stay far away from those crappy disposable PC controllers you see everywhere.
So eventually he said he'd buy his own gamepad, a Gamers Factory PS2-like pad for $10. I was skeptical it would be any good, but I gotta admit it's a little better than my Airflo for WE7. It definitely feels like a $10 control pad, but it gets right what a lot of expensive PC controllers get wrong. It's basically a Dual Shock made out of cheap plastic. Four face buttons placed properly, dual L/R triggers, and even the analog thumbs are clickable. Unfortunately like 99% of all PC pads it has a really fucked up D-pad. I don't know why more pads don't just use the trusty cross d-pad.
The pad is conspicuously missing from Bestbuy.com, but you can see a picture here. If you're looking for a good gamepad for sports games or something like GTA I'd recomend this. Even if it falls apart you're only out $10.
