I'll cross over to the dark side...

Just because Sony puts their stick down low doesn't mean it's the best place for it.

I'm not going to go anywhere near the sexual undertones of that statement....

That thing looks like it was made for THPS. Personally, I hate using the analog to play THPS, and I find the Dpad placement to be rather uncomfortable.

I'd personally stick to Nintendo's game pad for most games, but some games (esp. fighting games) need a different layout to be played well...which is where some 3rd party game pads come in. ^_~

Fair point - I suppose I wasn't reading closely enough. The Naki pad looks pretty well put together for a 3rd party pad if you like the PS2 stick layout. IMO, the Cube pad's only possible weakness is the D-pad, and I don't think that's what Thugg is complaining about.

No, I wasn't complaining about the D-pad (here anyways). The beyond queer face button placment, and worst analog sticks ever are my problems. And the shoulder buttons. And the D-Pad. And the fact it's designed for a 4yo's hand. Errrr... anyways...

I think I'll try that Air doohicky out...

More on point, I have a Dual Shock convertor (from Best Buy) for my Cube. It does a decent enough job with most of the functions, but I did notice a tiny bit of an analog roll that I couldn't correct. Super Monkey Ball was still playable, though, and that means anything else would be too. The Dual Shock 2 triggers also do a poor job replicating the Cube analog triggers, but Sunshine really doesn't use the analog in the triggers, though it does use the digital click extensively. Maybe I'll try it with Sunshine later this week, and let you know how it goes.
