I've been seeing people say they use a controller. Is it a PS2 controller with some sort of adapter, or one made for computers? Either way, where do I buy this?
Comments
A real-life friend of mine has a usb adapter for his PS2 controller. Supposedly, he bought it from EB for about $20.
He says he could never stand playing FFXI without it.
Black Star Deceiver kills it all.
The sun lies waiting for a call.

So how do you type to talk to people with a controller? Do you have to put it down, type, pick it up, put it down, type, pick it up? Seems like a headache to me and not good when your in the middle of a fight and trying to communicate.
The keyboard as they have it set is a pain to get used to but sure seems like a better way to play.
they have those controllers that have a keyboard built into them...

i think it is gamespot that has a type of controler keyboard hybrid.
on each end you have your standard ps2 buttons and an analog stick on both sides and the keyboard is in the middle

I bought a Logitech gamepad that is pretty much an exact clone of the PS2 controller (sans vibration). About 20 dollars. I like playing with a controller because the game is obviously designed around that control-scheme. Using the second stick for camera is better than mouselook because only your character's head looks around and not his whole body. Chatting and using the controller isn't any harder than taking your hand off the mouse to type.

I saw this controller posted some place. A Logitech keyboard with a contoller built into the sides...

Do you roleplay in your MMORPG? If not, you are one of those millions of people who irritate me. Congratulations. (My avatar is a Toadutoadu. They're quite common in Mushroom King'diel.)
I use a Nostromo for all of my computer gaming needs, it has a gamepad on it for moving, not an analog stick but it works very well in FPSers, and it has 10 fully programable buttons. I havent gotten FFXI yet, still trying to decide but when/if I do, Ill be using my Nostromo, best buy I ever made actually

Set macros while in the heat of a battle to communicate.... Only idiots type freehand.
