I recently purchased VGS (my hats off to Connetix, great job) But now after using my keyboard (ugh) I realized I have to buy a gamepad. Gravis' USB gamepad seems great in price and aesthetics, but it lacks the analog control I crave. Here's where the MacAlly iShock comes in. I've seen the iShock and the analog controls are great, but will Virtual Game Station understand the analog control that the iShock will send to it? Should I just go with the Gravis GamePad or should I go with iShock and the analog control? Anyone who has the iShock or a Gravis GamePad with VGS, your comments are welcome. Please specify if the iShock's analog controls work with VGS.
Thanks in advance.

I had the gravis Gamepad PRO USB, and I thought it was a piece of crap. Felt cheezy.
the iShock is much better. VGS does not CURRENTLY use the analog sticks, but other things will, and VGS will be updated soon I would guess, and I'm sure analog is near the top of stuff to add...

Too bad I can't use the 'Thumb sticks' for VGS, I was looking forward to that for better control with Gran Turismo. I guess now I have to decide whether the control is better with the iShock or the GamePad Pro...

I've got the game pad pro specifically for use with VGS.
It's way better than using the keyboard, and works well on Gran Tourismo 2, although I think my driving would be more refined if VGS allowed analogue controllers

I have the ishock. And I can tell you it is the best gamepad for VGS. It's all the little touches, like the reall button symbols, and the slighty oversized dual shock shape. Definetly your best choice.
I didn't even know what a nuclear pannerplant was!
