Spiral Knights and Gamepads, do the two mix?

I certainly think so! As you can't tell, my laptop's touchpad refuses to move while holding down keys, so playing with either of those is just not a possibility on my end.
Though, when I saw it would recognize gamepads, I had hope...
So I stuck in a PS3 controller (Third party, mind you, came with its own drivers) and VOILA! SK was quite playable.
From beginning to now, I've played with no less than a gamepad.
But I'm wondering: Do you think gamepads of any kinds work with SK, and if so, what do you use to play SK with?

I use a plain ole' Macbook with the touchpad.
I have it so it's the mouse (to point my direction) and then I click down to strike. I don't usually have a problem with this. However, if something goes wrong, I have action set on another key just in case. For the most part I just use the standard, original, format. Also, I don't see a gamepad having any problem with SK.

I cannot play at all with Keyboards/Mouse anymore. 360 Controller is where it's at!

I use a logitech F310, it definitely makes SK more enjoyable.
It makes the game easier, for one thing. At least for me, anyways.

I used a DS as a controller. I found myself dying a lot.
Went back to the mouse and keyboard.

As long as you have dual
As long as you have dual analog, I think it should be fine. But you can't type with a controller, and so many losers disable or otherwise can't hear voice chat.

Oh, so because i was born deaf, i'm a loser.
K, thanks. I'mma go hang myself, and you're the one going in my suicide note.
Lolnah, just messin.
Any gamepad should generally work, personally I've used my Dual Shock 2 but as I'm a heavy gun I don't play on my gamepad but it got the job done with swords/bombing.
