I have a curious question about PC games. I love playing games on my PC. In particular C.O.D and Medal of Honor. I find using the Keyboard somewhat cumbersome. I play alot of console games and it's much easier to play with the console games because they use the game pads verses a keyboard. My question is: Why don't PC game designers make their games capable of using gamepads verse the keyboard, or at least compatable with both? I would prefer to play my games with a gamepad similar to the kind found on the XBOX or PS II. What's the solution?

they make game pads that plugg into ur usb...most games are compatile withthem get a usb game pad

Yea. I have a microsoft USB gamepad. But the games I like to play don't seem to support playing from the gamepad.

You find using a keyboard and mouse in a First person shooters difficult? Maybe you should try getting used to it, the mouse is at the least 10 times easier to use that a game pad with a joy stick. Solution, A. Play you games on a console. B. Get used to the keyboard and mouse(you will be glad you did)

An XBOX controller and USB cable, with steady hands and a soldering iron, can be combined to make a controller that still works in your XBOX and has a USB for your PC too. Allegedly. Have a look here P3-949Mhz 640Mb PC133@146 GeForce4 64Mb PCI 36.5Mhz

OK Nice Q! You can buy XBOX to USB and PS, PS2 to USB adaptors there around $50AUD, $30US and there great Catchya.

That doesn't change the fact that his games won't support them.
