Which gamepad is better, Saitek or Logitech?

[zhaoyuji12]

I am going to buy a gamepad to play pes 09 on PC, any recommendation?
Coz I only play sports game, I don't need some fancy wireless pad. I am think about Saitek P2600 or Logitech dual action. Any comments?

Thanks.

Dont buy logitech gamepads. The build quality is rubbish, they last 6months then start falling apart.

Get either an xbox 360 wired controller or a ps2 dualshock(+something like http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-2-PC-USB-Gamepad-Converter/dp/B000F6BGXY) depending on which dpad your prefer.

I don’t know about the Logitech comment. I have heard there were problems with the original dual action gamepad. I myself have a wired Logitech Rumble Pad 2 and using it with great satisfaction for over 2 years.

No falling apart or what so ever… If this one ever breaks, I would probably try the xbox360 gamepad.

Rumblepad 2 FTW!!!....been using one of those for PES 6, 2007, 2008 and 2009 for about 4 years now and 0 problems. YES, THE SAME CONTROLLER and I play 1 or 2 matches every night
Excuse me for my poor english.

The logitech pad build quality was awful for some years - they even had a large unofficial recall on the DA2 pads. They've improved some though and I've been using one as a second/backup for a year (Rumble2) without issues.

Having said that, the PS2 Dual Shocks are significantly better in every way and the adaptors are very cheap (like 12 bucks in the USA, not sure about UK anymore, or continental Europe) and you can download good custom drivers for them too. That'd be the best choice, in my opinion.
