Which game controller should I use for the PC verions of Dead Space 3

Hi, I'm rather new to gaming and have a question about the proper controller to use with my PC version of Dead Space 3. I have a PS3 "Shadow6" controller made by dreamGear. I was able to map this controller to the game and I can use the controls, but the ABXY buttons cannot be mapped. All my other paddles, triggers and the Dpad works.

Is there a better controller to use with the PC version of the game - perhaps the XBox360 version?

Can anyone provide any assistance with this matter?

Thank you for your help,

Fulano

    Hi mrfulano!

    I can just say that the Xbox360 controller harmonize with windows (just plug and play) and supporting a big amount of games.

    Cheers

    I use keyboard/mouse AND a gamepad. The mouse is much better for aiming a weapon accurately. The gamepad is better for the Engineering Interface puzzles, flying through space/dodging obstacles, and climbing/repelling. The Logitech gamepad I use works fine for the situations where I use it.

    Hi Guys, thanks for the advice. I tried to get the PS3 controller to work fully, but some of the buttons didn't map properly. It was either the ABXY set or the DPad, but not both. So, I went out and purchased the Razer RZ06-00470100-R3U1 Onza Tournament Edition Professional Gaming Controller, which is an XBox360 type of unit. That gave me the use of all the buttons and I can play the game with much greater control.

    Thanks for your help!
