Pop test: do you use a joypad

Hey everyone,
I'm doing a bit of research into the general proliferation of suitable joypads in PC/Mac gamers.
So the question is simple enough: do you own a joypad that has (a) one (or more) analogue sticks and (b) a set of buttons opposite the analogue pad which could be described as being in a rough diamond formation.
Examples include the N64, PSX/2, Dreamcast, and Gamecube (*just* enough of a diamond) joypads.
Also, what OS do you run, and what genre of game do you predominantly use the pad for?
Cheers for the time!
