I use a 360 wired pad that i bought new when i bought Halo 2 Vista as the servers were still running, i had previously been just playing Halo on the xbox.
I picked up another second hand 360 pad recently, just in case! I never liked the XB1 pad, and with price increases, lack of wired, i decided it was sensible to get a backup.

My launch day Xblox 360's wireless controller. Still rocking it, even though the left thumbstick hasn't got a rubberised coating. If the controller takes a knock then the battery compartment slips lose and disconnects the thing. Other then that it's solid reliable

@Le Clandestin Brun Do you mean this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravis_PC_GamePad
I think it was advertised on one of the Jazz Jackrabbit games. I had the 1st one on PC.

OK reading the replies it seems I've been waaay behind some of you guys! Making me wish I got a PS5 pad instead. But also, loving the 360 love still going strong
What do you use those rear paddle buttons for? Custom commands?
When people are saying "Xbox 1" are they referring to the new one or the original xbox? Is that still compatible?

The paddles default to A B X Y, and can be assigned to any other button.
Personally I map the top two paddles (A B) to the left and right stick clicks, saves wear and tear on the sticks and makes the function much easier to use.

It was an Xbox 360 controller with the wireless adapter until that broke, then Dualshock 4 until I sold my PS4. So now purchased one of them new Xbox controllers that has bluetooth.
This is only for modern gaming though, I have older designed controllers for retro games and a fight stick for fighting games.

Xbox Elite Series II controller.
Those of you hanging on to old Xbox 360 controllers, Don't underestimate how much better a new controller might be.
