Just got a new whizzy PC, and would love to get into GTL etc. I've got no room to set up a wheel/pedals though, plus I've never got on with nay of the ones I've tried. I would really like to use a PS2 style pad, ie one with an analogue stick for steering, and then analogue brake/accelerator BUTTONS (rather than another stick). I got a thingy a while back that adapts the PS2 controller into a USB PC controller but it only gives digital buttons Had a look at logitech etc and it seems like no one makes one with analogue buttons. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the replies guys, have ordered an Xbox controller and GTL from play.com. Must get the decorating finished before they arrive cos I sure as hell won't be doing it afterwards! Bit concerned about the gear changing but I'm sure I'll get used to adifferent pair of buttons for it.

Happy to say that the Xbox controller works brilliantly with GPL, I have been using the triggers for acc/brake, two of the fourbuttons for gear up/down (under my right thumb) and the right analogue stick for looking around inside the cockpit. All very smooth and intuitive. Having a whale of a time blasting round in the lotus cortina at the moment, just completed the first set of challenges, will have to get online once I can do more than three laps without spinning out!
