Hi, I've never used a gaming pad with my PC, so sorry if this seems a stupid question. But if I were to go get a Microsoft game pad with the pc adaptor could I use this with any audio game that usually uses the cursor keys to move? Also you mentioned about programmable buttons, again if I were to get a Microsoft game pad and use it with audio games can I program the game pad buttons to mimic the keyboard presses in audio games I play?

Your best bet is to get an XBox 360 controller from Microsoft with a PC adapter if you care about Windows 7 and Windows 8 compatibility. For some reason Logitech, Philips, and others are still making controllers but not 64-bit drivers for newer PCs. Meaning if you get a new Logitech controller and you have a 64-bit PC you have to depend on the generic Microsoft drivers which may not fully support the controller such as force feedback and some programmable buttons etc. Cheers!
