PC gamepad with mechanical switches and rubberized group

[regicide]

Hey all.

So I am a huge fan of Super Meat Boy, but it was really made to be played with a gamepad..

I am looking for a PC compatible gamepad (win 7 64bit) with (mostly) mechanical buttons (on the buttons themselves, dpad isnt so important) and a rubberised grip. Should also be usb as im not a fan of wireless.

So far the only controller I can see that fits what I want it the Razer Onza tournament edition http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.218524000/parentCategoryID.54297600/categoryId.54746700 but I would be more than happy for any other suggestions and/or compromises.

The Onza is fine, just it is razer and has some features I don't care for (remap-able buttons, adjustable joystick tension, razer branded, xbox 360 logo)

Thanks in advance all

Well, you can get a wired xbox 360 controller that works in windows for half the price of that Razer controller.

Mechanical gamepads may be more obscure than mechanical keyboards and arcade joystick users will tell you to use one of those..

It has omron mircoswitches.

If you don't care for that then get the regular edition which is 10 dollars cheaper.

This I think they even use the same white-stem omrons(D2FC-F-7N) used by the mice(Logitech/Razer/Microsoft).

This guy disassembles the controller showing the internals.

Kinda surprising they went with rubber sheets for the D-pad.

I could be wrong but the majority of controllers for console games either use a rubber sheet or one of the tactile buttons similar to those found on the WMO 1.1. They are just a button with a silver/white/black case. The S.M.D. type and Standard type versions of the switch.

but the xbox 360 controller has neither a rubberized grip nor any switches, AFAIK its all dome.

That still has remappable buttons but lacks the ruberized grip, the only thing the standard doesn't have in that list if the adjustable joysticks, but the standard joysticks are not rubberized at all and are higher than the TE ones.

I found that video last night, I was very suprised about the use of domes on the dpad especially after they went to all the trouble of separating the dpad button and prancing around about how great they were for doing s.

I much prefer switches to domes as they are much more consistent over time.

So far it seems like the Onza TE is the only way to go, guess I can just ignore half the feature set and its fine >.>
