Problems finding a PS3-like gamepad for PCFollow

Ok so I have 2 different Logitech PS3 style PC gamepads, and all I can find on the internet are more gamepads exhibiting the same problem. I cant stand the floating D-pad. I want the D-pads to be like ps3's, they need to be individual buttons that are pressed. They do not need to act like a fake "analog" stick. The Logitech gamepads have this, and it is a problem for me. While it may be awesome IF I were using it to move with, it is horrid for quickly tabing through heavy menu games. So I'd like to be directed to a PS3-style, non-floating d-pad gamepad. Maybe one exists and I'm just missing it. Also I have tried to install the unofficial PS3 controller drivers, and can successfully get them to work. Only problem is that this will crash my computer every 10-15 min...... Any help with this would be appreciated.

This seems similar, its on the UK website but if your not UK should be easy enough to find. I dont have one personally but i totally get your floaty D-Pad issues.

Hope this helps.

Why not use the actual PS3 controller?

There is a variant that shows how to connect one via a Bluetooth USB antenna too if you want wireless, but you'll have to go dig that up somewhere.

I appreciate the feedback guys. I have never tried this particualr version of the ps3 unofficial drivers work around, however, it is either uncompatible with 7 or 64 bit OS, not sure which. I went ahead and ordered the gamepad in the link, and it works perfectly, and is even wireless. Thanks for the link, I wouldnt have thought to look at Amazon UK, nor that theyd have different products from Amazon US. Thanks again for the help guys.
