I have it too. It works with a PS2 controller and you can even use it to use your PS2 controller on your PS3.

Yo, I like the Nyko Air-Flo. I have one of those joints that I run MAME fighters on my Macbook with. They can't be more than $20

Did they ever manage to make the analogue pads work?

360 wired controllers are cheap, and work with auto play on windows

360 wired controllers are the best for modern PC gaming since most new games support the controller natively, but the mushy d-pad isn't very good for retro gaming.

You could try getting a pc clone of an SNES or NES controller...

Combo7's suggestion for an PS2 usb adapter would also be good. Sony's controllers have nice d-pads.

Ehhh I just noticed those controllers I posted don't work on 64-bit Windows. Avoid them unless you have 32-bit Windows.

I would recommend two of these:

They are replicas of the second generation Saturn controller (widely considered to be the best pads ever made). I have two of them and can verify that they are excellent replicas, inside and out.

Or if you are a stickler for authenticity (and who could blame you) you could hit up http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?cPath ... 14882105dc.
