Quick question: Blitz3D vs gamepads?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Quick question: Blitz3D vs gamepads?

I'm hoping to use Blitz3D to knock up a quickish concept demo for a possible Ps3 concept. Therefore, I need to be able to read a Ps3-style pad such as this lad:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Saitek-105782-P380-Gamepad-PC/dp/B000ISTYAG/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_i

Can B3D handle one of these (ie reading both analogue sticks and the d-pad correctly)? If not, would I be likely to have more luck with a wired 360 pad?

Thanks for any advice- if I get going on this I may well be back a bit :P

Aha, that looks to be just the ticket, thanks :)
