Nightmare becoming true ... save PS2 and xbox version PLEASE SUPPORT

[Zeargi]

the xbox 360 controller is plug and play. The only time you have to do anything tricky is if you want to use the triggers instead of the bumpers for macros.

And that's exactly what I want to do. At this point it's all muscle memory and I want the same flow for the PC

Not sure if you're willing to buy a PC gamepad for XI, but I've found the Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 to be a great controller for it. I actually just bought a practically brand new one off of eBay for around 40 dollars recently (they don't produce these anymore), not because I needed a new one yet, but just as a way to future-proof my experience. Logitech has a newer version of this controller as well (the F710 and the corded F310) which is still in production but I prefer the older version for the feel of the trigger buttons.

You do need to install drivers for them, and map some buttons, but in the end it's really just a minor inconvenience. All three of the controllers listed above allow you to access all of the buttons (including the triggers) without any need for 3rd party solutions.
