360 usb pad is the way

If only it wasn't awful...

I use Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows. You just plug it in and it works, no need to install drivers.

I know, but I find that controller unnecessarily large and heavy, the batteries terrible (that bulky nickel battery they sell separately), the d-pad hideous, and the asymmetrical sticks uncomfortable. So yeah, no. :/

I've been looking for an alternative, but I guess I'll still have to deal with MotionInJoy if I want a reliable (and comfortable) wireless controller.

This is what the wife and I use now:

The price is nice and low for a gamepad that is wireless, USB Re-chargeable (yay no batteries needed), has a rumble feature if you install the drivers but the controller functions without drivers (just no rumble). Quality wise it is surprising. It feels nice, has a good weight..not too heavy but not so light it's cheap feeling. Neither of us have had any problems with them since purchase over a year ago now.

If you don't live in the UK and don't mind importing:

Cost a little more but no importing needed:

The only downside I can think of is that it does not come with the USB cable for re-charging. However, it is the same kind of cable the PS3 controllers use for recharge...so you likely have one laying around the house...and if not they are cheap to buy.

Both links actually end up costing almost the same if you do the conversion. XD

Thanks for that one. It's actually like $5 cheaper than the DS3, and has native compatibility. I may get that one.
