In my opinion the xbox controller is still the best controller for PC. It's the most comfortable (for me) and most compatible controller. Most games with any controller support will have xbox mapping icons.

+1 Xbox controller.. I had the wireless one which comes with USB if needed, great sturdy control and perfect fit for my hand

Xbox One controller for me, wireless, had to get the little usb dongle with it.

I am using the Xbox One controller, it works well and you can configure it to how you want.

I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned but maybe the XBox One controller?

Yeh can't go wrong with an xbox controller.
You can buy a dongle for it, but my wireless N WiFi dongle was a bit unreliable so a went for an wireless AC & blootooth pci combo card to kill two birds with one stone.

Purchased some rechargeable aa batteries at the same time. As mentioned above it comes with a USB cable too if you get stuck for recharged batteries.
You can pick the pads up for about £30 new, if you shop around.

EasySMX Wireless Game Joystick Controller, 2.4G Wireless Gamepad Joystick PC, Dual Vibration, 8 Hours of Playing for PC/Android Phones, Tablets, TV Box (Black and Gray) (on the rainforest, and this is for PC use).

Currently £22, but was £14 over black friday. I have a wired xbox pc controller and like it but it stopped connecting properly - they have a problem with where the wire attaches to the controller. Folding the wire works for a while but it's a temporary fix. So I took a chance on the above controller and also bought a couple of cheap wired variants. It has a bit of a deadzone around the joysticks but many games will have game controller sensitivity options which you can adjust. As a replacement for the official xbox pc wired controller I'm really happy with it and the battery life (in built battery) is excellent.

ps, just to be clear the model I'm talking about is the all black version with no additional colours. There's also a battery added variant which I don't have.
