Which game controller do you recommend? Joystick, gamepad, brand?
I have a faulty Macally Ishock now which I will be sending back.
Thanks

If you have os 9.04 you might rethink that choice, that's the one I have and it doesn't appear compatible. Apple says that it probably was set up for os 8x. I'm leaning towards a joystick.

Hrm. That sucks, the iShock is incredible! My PC friends loved it so much, THEY"RE ORDERING some, they just set it up on their PCs as generic joysticks... this is the best controller I've ever seen.

I had an iShock too Ca$h & in principal this was the perfect gamepad, (loadsa buttons!) but in practice the thumbsticks on mine would not calibrate properly and were found to be faulty + the thumbsticks are analouge but InputSprocket does/cannot recognise them as such & see's them as normal 4 way direction controllers + Macally's software is a little odd as well, & personaly I did not like the feel of the D pad.
Close, but no cigar on the Mac.
To be honest, I've still to find the perfect gamepad on the Mac, most are OK some are crap, but none are perfect, i.e. just right (for me!)
