Hi, currently i have got a cheap game controller for my computer but when using the analogue stick it is just like pressing the arrow buttons(either full left/right or nothing), are any of the controllers that novatech sell any better, e.g. like the ps or xbox controllers(only turn as much as you push the stick over)
thanks

Xbox Controller totally. Got the wireless one =)

For wireless you need to buy the Wireless Version for Windows. This comes with a USB dongle that is required to interface the controller with the PC. As the Xbox has the wireless controller built in you cannot just move the xbox controller to PC as you will not have a receiver for the PC. For some reason they don't sell the wireless bit on its own so that you can use xbox controllers you might have as the controller is the same.
