Really I just want it for flight sims and perhaps other games.

I've heard the xbox 360 for windows controller is good, no?

They sell some generic brand called Cyvox here. They're all over Yongsan, and elsewhere: I picked one up at Emart. They're almost exactly the same as a PS2 controller, which IMO is better than an xbox controller.

I like the 360 controller. The PS2 clone controller just doesn't feel comfortable in the hands. The way the analog sticks are positioned on the top makes my thumbs hurt after a while.

I think the 360 controller is more comfortable in the hands, also its got plenty of buttons for games.

agreed. I own one and use it to play my emulators. It's great and it cost me, 2 years ago, 25,000WON. Good stuff that controller is.

Keyboard, mouse.
That's all you need.

It's just for flight sims really, in fact I'm probably going to get a joystick, but I haven't seen one of those anywhere, they don't seem to need them to play starcraft!

In that case, a gamepad probably wouldn't be your best choice for a flight sim

Why not keep using your keyboard until you can get that flightstick?
