PC controller

I was curious about PC game controllers. How effective and useful are they? I kind of want to get one, but really know nothing about them. I basically have questions about cost, recommended brands, etc. Thanks.

Just use an Xbox controller and splice a male usb plug into the controller dongle. I use my xbox controller for PC gaming all the time. I can halp you with drivers and stuff, but here is a tutorial:

Actually you can just buy one pre-made! http://secure.llamma.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=64_27&products_id=78

If you do that and follow his advice you will regret it I'm afraid there is already a 360/computer compatible controler that is made for Windows and will work with games it's goal is to become the universal PC controler I know it is supported in oblivion and much more and if it isn't you can always set the controls.

Well the 360 controller sounds cool. But, if I go with the simple xbox to pc converter I'll only have to spend 10 bucks. While I'd have to spend 45+ for the 360 one. Also, what regrets what I have?

Do you know if this works for BF2 and the PC version of FF7?
