What kind o' joysticks and gamepads do y'all use? :)

The main controller I use these days is a Guitar Hero guitar, but I don't know if that counts. Other than that, I'd use an Xbox gamepad, but I haven't really had a game to play with it yet. Maybe I'll grab FFIV again, or finish Chrono Trigger (I never got around to finishing Lavos)

I've got a generic dual analogue USB controller (this (http://www.powerwave.com.au/) brand). I gather the 360 controller is the way to go, though, so I'll probably pick one of those up some time.

I've got an Xbox controller hacked to work through a USB connection.  Yes, I'm far too poor to own a 360..

I only had awfully bad PCs, so I rarely buy games for it, and only RTS or "sim city-like"  game such as Rollercoaster Tycoon.

That's why I don't use any joystick or gamepad. For the other games I play with a console.

Logitech Dual Action Gamepad
Basicly like http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=880707 (http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=880707) <that one. Like a playstation controller on USB.
Although I hardly ever use it, it might be cool to try Aquaria with analogue sticks. :D

I have a 360 controller using XBCD360 drivers.  I've also been known to use a standard 10 button controller with a d-pad.

I've got a Saitek P990.

Great pad. Saitek is a fairly popular brand that I think you should consider supporting.  =)

Logitech pads are a bit of a no brainer since GameStop sells them in their stores.

I have the best gamepad of all. I have combined my Wiimote with a Powerglove to make the most sophisticated gaming device ever created. Ok, so maybe I haven't, but can you imagine how cool that would look? I'll go with the 360 controller once I get one.

I went ahead and picked up the Xbox 360 wireless receiver for my 4 360 controllers.  :)  Sooo many buttons for a PC controller.

I'm using a Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 (which is basically a cordless DualShock).
So naturally I'd like to see Force-Feedback effects in Aquaria ;)

I, um...don't have one...am I going to have a problem?

Aquaria's mainly mouse controlled, I gather, so I doubt you'll have a problem.

I use my Gamecube controller and a USB adapter. I love the responsiveness and ergonomics. I prefer the old N64 button arrangement, though...

I'm using a PS2 controller with USB adapter to play Aquaria.  I finally have it setup to my satisfaction.
