Hi guys,

my chinese gamepad has died into my cabinet and I'm in the process of buyin a new one.

But I need a cheap not expensive gamepad with analog sticks.

 

I've got an alternative playstation clone gamepad that works perfectly but it doesn't start with analog sticks activated (you need to press the button "analog" to make it works)...and as you know, the gamepad will go into the cabinet, so I cannot press everytime this button.

 

Can you advise me some cheaper gamepad suitable for this job with at least 10 buttons?

Thanx

Just solder new arcade button or leaf switch for analog switch and mount it under cab. Analog switch is just a button :)

Mmh not so good to press a key under he cabinet everytime... But I finally found a way. Generic USB drivers for windows 7! Now analog works at start as default and these drivers even emulate mouse and keyboard through gamepad.

Not completely solved, only one stick start in Analog mode (the right stick) and fortunately is the stick that I use for Plunger.
