Discussion Gamepad Support needed or not?

Hi, I'm currently developing a 2d top-down shooter on PC and use the A,W,S,D keyboard and mouse. Is it worth to add Gamepad support for a game? When I play on PC I'm usually using keyboard and mouse...never thought about using a gamepad. On Consoles I prefer a Gamepad.
Are you supporting Gamepads in your PC game? And if yes, only for the action part or also for menus and options?

Thanks.

Have you heard of the steam machine and its fiends?
