That's true, and that's probably why it's difficult to make a direct comparison.  Google can't come up with any kind of specifications for the Xbox 360 gamepads; it's possible that the specs were never released to the public, though I can't see why M$ wouldn't.  Regardless, I strongly doubt that any gamepad can compete with a 4000dpi mouse :)

Ultimately it doesn't matter when it comes to butchering zombies en masse, since console gamers will always adapt to the situation (pretty impressive, IMO, because I can't stand gamepads for most game genres.)  I do admit you guys are pretty damned funny, carrying on and arguing with each other while still blaming me - always nice to come into work and get some free entertainment  :lol:

My friend likes his because he can play one-handed for the most part.

I used to be really good with PS2 controls on shooters (especially Battlefront), but I have gotten somewhat worse, since I play shooters almost exclusively on PC now. It just feels much more intuitive for me now, for shooters, at least. I prefer dual-analog for racing games, I'm not much good at racing games on the PC.

Pizza, you make it sound like we are angry with someone. I really don't think we are, though your smugness does get annoying, like any new guy acting big does.

I'm just here mostly for the free entertainment, since work is pretty slow from about midnight to five :P

As far as gamepads go, I really liked the GCN controller.  It felt well-balanced, and a lot of developers did some amazing things with it - Metroid Prime's control scheme rocked.

Nodaisho:
I don't have much experience with it for FPSs, but it was decent for Enter the Matrix. It did have one big flaw, though. The little yellow stick was too small to be used for dual analog controls easily, and dual-analog is the best setup I have found, as it allows for easy strafing.

PizzaSHARK:
I never quite got the hang of the dual analog deal, though I gimped my way along with a roomie when he was in the middle of a Halo 2 orgy and needed a partner for TDM.  I will admit that I found San Andreas a lot more enjoyable with my venerable old Logitech dual analog gamepad (essentially just a PSX/PS2 dual shock clone), though flying was still impossible.

The little c-stick was an oddity (but what about the GCN wasn't odd, with the giant mutant A button and all), but for most games I played, it worked out well enough :)
