I'll cross over to the dark side...
I have a long standing ban on 3rd party products (outside of 1 cheapo PSone memory card) but I've had it up to here with the GC pad. *raises hand high up to indicate his displeasure* I need to know if there are any more... XB/PS2-esque 3rd party pads, or, if anyone thinks the Dual Shock converter thingy is worth the money. Only recommend based on experience, not 'I heard...'. I really want to give SMS another try with a better pad to find out if my hatred of the controls was entirely due to the pad or not.
