Folks, I'm looking to replace my problematic gameport gamepad with a newer USB one. I can't really blame my SB Live, because I've had the same problems with gameport pads since I've had a PC. I'm considering the following pads. They all have a multitude of buttons, analog control sticks, and digital thumb pad. Also, they all come in USB flavour. I'm indifferent about force feedback...so that's not a concern for me. I'd appreciate any advice about these pads, or any others with similar specs. Gravis Eliminator Aftershock -older pad Gravis Xterminator Digital Gamepad -only one analog stick Thrustmaster Firestorm -don't know much about Thrustmaster products Interact AxisPad -worried this is Vaporware, but I'm leaning toward this, because I have the Interact Hammerhead FX right now. Except for the gameport interface problems, this pad is sweeeet Wingman Rumble pad -feels uncomfortable Thanks in advance. Evan Joanette
