So my job has me travelling around quite a bit. I own the Saitek X52 Pro joystick and pedal set but these are clearly not going to fit easily in my carry-on luggage. I'm not sure that I want to be playing Elite with only a keyboard and mouse so I've been looking at picking up a small controller that I can shove into one of my bags.
Lots of talk on the forums about the XBox 360 PC controller. But looking around I see quite a few other similar controllers. Is one controller the same as another controller? If I pick up the Logitech one, will I be losing out in anyway? Compatibility? Robustness? Features and button layouts?
Also, should I even be looking at these controllers? Does anyone have any better ideas? Or perhaps I should just stick with the keyboard and mouse option and see how it turns out before forking out for a possibly redundant controller (that I have never felt the need to have until now).
