I looked around to see if there were any other topics first on this, and didn't see any..so if there are, please just direct me and please don't yell..

But, I was wondering with the lack of fightpads everywhere, has anyone bumped into any other 3rd party controllers that do a DECENT job for the time being until a fightpad is available? Thanks.

Alright, I guess I'll have to settle, thanks for your input though...

What exactly are you looking for? If it's something to replace the SF4 MadCatz gamepads then you are out of luck. It is the only one of it's kind (for xbox 360 at least).
If you are referring to arcade sticks then there are many choices besides the new MadCatz TE and SE sticks. Here are a few thread links:

Well, originally, I was just looking for a regular 3rd party 360 controller. Just anything really, with a 'good' D-Pad, just until I could find a fightpad, but I appreciate your response and links, and I will take a look.
