Title: Looking for Saitek 150 gamepads
Post by: armad1ll0 on May 24, 2003, 04:30:05 pm

Anyone know a place where I can find Saitek 150 gamepads. I hear that they use a common ground. Are they also 10 button pads? Including the two function buttons.

Thanks

I got mine from Walmart for $10.  They are a great pad to hack!  They only have 8 buttons total (6 buttons on the front, and 2 trigger buttons on the back) and the directional pad.  It worked great for me because that's all I needed.

Hi, is it true that this pad has a common ground to all buttons and the d-pad?

Yes it is.  All 8 buttons and the directional pad share a common ground.

Hmmm missing two buttons but I guess it's fine.
Going from PSX to USB would provide the same result.

Thanks for the link. I didn't realize that you can purchase straight from their site.
