Approved gamepads?

[brianelite]

is there a list of approved or "working" gamepads somewhere?

Also, does the Xbox 360 controller work this year?

Any HID (Human Interface Device) is compatible

[360skier]

Almost all HID game interfaces will work to some extent. However, some of them will have missing features. You'll need to do some experimenting to find out about your specific device.

I believe xbox 360 controllers should work provided you have the drivers for them installed. However, you won't have access to the D-Pad or xbox button.

I got a 360 controller working last night. Just install the driver and it behaves like a joystick. Haven't tried out the D pad yet though.
