I'm considering getting jtl but one of the things i am a little concerned about is having to buy a new joy pad or stick to play it with.

i have found this which i am quite interested in as i have 3 xbox pads and it would be good not to have to have yet another peripheral hanging about in my massive and growing box of one hit wonders.

hope you guys can help

You might as well just get a cheap flight stick it would be a lot better imo

I use a similar product to connect a Playstaion 2 Controller to my Dell Notebook.

Yes rock out on JTL between class!

sorry to necro this up but i thought i'd give you an update

the xbox pad with the superjoybox 10 is brilliant and i would recommend it to anyone who would like to use their spare xbox controller instead of forking out yet another 20+ bucks

I have the $12USD adaptor from Lik-Sang that lets me use my Xbox controller with the PC. Works wonders for JTL. Tons of buttons and force feedback. If you get it, go onto Google and look for XBCD drivers.

Just a heads-up.

lol man after playing JTLS I can't fly a banshee in Halo any more with my xbox controller.

I bought a controller to get the full experience for JTLS ( highly recommend the extreme 3d pro from logitech ) and I got use to flying with one stick, now Halos hard to fly in..

I have an adaptor which allows me to use a playstation controller on my PC. It worksgreat with JTL and any other PC gamethat I want to use it on. I highly recommend getting one.
