For emulation, you can't beat the USB Saturn Pad: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BLACK-PC-MAC-USB-CONTROLLER-SEGA-SATURN-/150536071425?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item230ca62901#ht_7362wt_1139 They come dirt cheap and play like a dream. If you have bigger hands or prefer the Xbox bulky controllers for some reason, try the SFIV variantt: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Street-Fighter-FightPad-Ryu/dp/B001M241KU The latter comes with a turbo if that matters to you (most emulators will let you configure turbo in software), and its a bit heavier. I prefer the Saturn Pad, but I've had some difficulties getting it to work properly on certain emulators--nothing that I couldn't fix with Xpadder but YMMV.

I don't want to ignite the gaming laptop debate but I'd just like to remind those of you looking for mobile PC gaming that there is a huge and incredible backlog of older PC games and casuals that will run on as little as a Netbook. Obviously I can't tell you how to spend your money but the high watermark of PC gaming was like ten years ago and people are *still* playing those games--Deus Ex, Baldur's Gate II, Jagged Alliance 2, X-COM, Warcraft III, LucasArts adventure games, the list goes on and on. Granted there's plenty of good stuff coming out for modern systems too, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Fag Boy Jim posted:Razer actually made a pretty good non-overpriced mechanical keyboard, but I guess it's hard to gently caress up a basic cherry switch keyboard. If you're talking about the Black Widow, they hosed it up plenty. I don't care how useful it sounds in theory, never buy a keyboard that has programmable keys on the left side.

Gobblecoque posted:Why are programmable keys a bad thing, if you don't mind me asking? Well, they aren't super useful if you're already using a launcher (go get a launcher) but it's the placement that's the problem. If you liked fat fingering the windows key in the middle of a game you're going to love accidentally launching word or whatever. Razer's software also got really obnoxious at some point and required you to login to an account to manage device settings. Edit: check out the keyboard thread, there are plenty of great mechanicals at reasonable price points. It's not that much more expensive to import a Filco or Topre and they'll last forever so it's worth the cost to save up imo. Razer makes a tenkeyless tournament edition mechanical that looks fine too, depending on your tolerance for a bunch of glowing poo poo on your peripherals.
