    If they're not on the driver CD, Vista drivers for the Precision Gamepad 2 can be downloaded here.

    I purchased the Xbox 360 controller (wired) just for such an occasion. I just plugged it in, downloaded the drivers from Windows Update, and off I went. It is, by far, THE BEST controller I ever had.

    I installed the controller and the driver that came with it. When I try to use it on my znes 1.51 emulator, it doesn't work at all. I don't know what to do? Anyone know how to make it work?

    have you been through all the tools in the emulator? In project 64 theres a whole wizard for setting up joypads.

    i'll second the xbox 360 controller its the best pc controller ever. I dumped my very similar Saiteck controller for it.

    Also note just recently MS has released a USB adapter for the PC to use the wireless controller on the PC!!

    be sure to use the XBCD drivers for the controller they are 50x better than the stock MS ones.
