I already have several Dual Shock controllers and a USB adapter that works in MAME on Windows 7 - without drivers! But I have to use an X-Box 360 controller "emulator" to get it to work with modern PC games, which is not always optimal because of lack of analog shoulder buttons and other bits.

I waited six fucking months for this XBox 360 controller to cross the Atlantic in a container and I'm very happy with the rest of it, it's just the shit d-pad that bothers me. I'm not prepared to throw it away and buy another gamepad.

Thanks for the tip though!
