When I played Need for Speed Prostreet for the first time, I found that Microsoft Wireless Keyboard was not responsive enough for playing this kind of game.
So, I decided to buy a new toy :)
I bought it from Pantip, Thailand's biggest computer store [and software vendors' nightmare :P], at the price of 1500 THB which seems to be too expensive for a game controller. I bought the wired version because some people in the forum said that the wired version is more responsive than the wireless ones. The wireless version also costs around 1900 THB.
The design is exactly the same as XBOX360 version. It has two analog sticks, one D-pad and four buttons. Despite the fact that I am a SONY fanboy. I have to say that this design is great!
There are more things to note about the controller's package design. First, there was a green stick wrapped around the end of the USB cord to warn the users to install hardware driver before plug the controller into USB port. It is really a great package design technique which can prevent technical problems for most users.
Second, it has a part in its cord that is loosely connected. So when people walk over the cord and accidentally trapped by it. The cord is consequently taken apart. So, the damage is not done to the game console, or the USB port of the computer.
My brother seems happy playing with it too. Here is photo of my brother playing Need for Speed :)

I'm thinking about grasp this one too, btw it's really expensive. I've found 1400B can buy cordless rumblepad logitech controller (wireless one). Which should I buy? hmmm....
I think so. 1500 THB is too much for a game controller. But, sometimes, it is just a matter of brand, look-and-feel that come before other reasons :)
Oh!! I wanna try it too !!!
