Nothing beats a xbox 360 gamepad (wired or wireless)
Works with every game i tried so far with no hassle

Many PC games are even already setup for use with a xbox360 pad..

This, got wireless and it is great
As said: some games automatically set profile soon as you connect pad (metro 2033, SF4, Fifa, etc.)

Xbox 360 pad is the most supported, go with that. Even if you prefer the ps3 pad for whatever reason, it's going to be more of a headache.
For MAME and arcade games like that, get a hori ex-se arcade stick. Make sure it's the "ex-SE" with seimitsu parts though.

Anyone here try the recently released Razer Onza? The main features are the improved d-pad, adjustable tension for the sticks, and 2 extra 'bumper' buttons.

Been considering getting one after reading/seeing a few reviews, but just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I use the xbox controller and have no issues with it, is the best I've used thus far.

Prefer wired myself, but yeah it is a bit expensive.

No wireless is actually a bonus

Was keeping my eye on them but ... meh, not that interested now, I rarely play with a pad. It's pretty much always mouse/keyboard or arcade stick.

Grab the 360 one, plug it in and game.

Minimal fuss and doesn't need setting up.
