>I've been having a heck of a time with gamepads recently.

    It's a surprisingly tough design and ergonomic puzzle, isn't it?  I've 
owned exactly one console, the Gamecube, and grew to love it's gamepad over 
many hours in RE4.  On the PC side, I've only used the MS 360 pad sparingly, 
mostly for adventure games, but find it awkward and clumsy.  Recently I got 
the Elite 360, mostly because it touted smoother action, and in particular 
added paddles, which I thought could make driving games semi-playable w/o 
buying a full-on wheel/pedal setup.  Sure enough I have yet to try it in a 
driving game :(  But it's quite heavy and just as clumsy as the regular 360 
pad, imho.
