I am looking for a new gamepad for some time now. At the moment I have a Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510 but I don't have any luck with it on Linux, it's simply almost impossible to play games like Trine or Shank with it:

I think because Linux is getting popular as a gaming platform we do need good gamepad drivers for Linux.
What gamepad could you recommend for me? What's about Xbox gamepad? Any advices are welcome.
Cheers,

At any rate, it really depends on two factors: whether the manufacturer officially supports Linux (such as what Roccat does, though they do not appear to have gamepads) or if they can be reverse engineered (like most Logitech devices are as is the Xbox controller I believe).
Still, having never used one, I can not give you much more help than that.
