Lol it seem like everywhere here also agree that a xbox controller is the best way to go i'm happy i made the right choice year ago never look back. i got two of the ffxiv controller and they rubber pad just failed on me and before that i had steelseries which also fail on me i never buy controller if there not from Sony or Xbox they just make better quality controller with good rubber pads that you can press on them for 8+hours everyday and they wont fail.

I remember i had PS2 controller with a USB adapter for 3+years in FFXI and it never fail to one day it fall on the ground to hard and broke. I was going to do the same for FFXIV get a ps2 with USB adapter but i found sometime it hard to make the controller work with other games so i said fuck it and got myself a xbox everygame that support xbox it just work without even setting it up so i never look back

If ps3 controller was that easy to set up i would have went with them seeing how i use to PS layout but i got use to xbox pretty quick,.
