Sometimes the mouse and keyboard method doesn't quite work for certain PC games. Racing titles, fighting games and some arcade titles play better if you use a gamepad. This week PC peripheral maker Logitech announced a new line of gamepads specifically made for the PC.

The basic F310 model, shown above, seems to merge elements of the PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers in its basic design. It also has a floating D-pad feature for better accuracy. If your particular PC game doesn't support gamepads, special software is included that will allow the gamepad to mimic a keyboard-mouse combo. It's now on sale for $24.99.

Two more models were also introduced. The F510 adds rumble effects and rubber grips for longer gameplay for $34.99. Finally the F710 gamepad has both rumble support and 2.4 Ghz wireless features for $49.99.
