Hello,so i've been playing games like dark souls/the witcher on my PC and it made me realize that i really need a controller for certain games so I was wondering which controller I should buy.I heard the Xbox 360 one is the best but there's also the Xbox one and PS4 controllers so i wanted to know what people thought.

Xbox 360 controllers is one of the best ever made, I would highly recommend it. Most games with controller support have native 360 support. The Logitech ones are decent but they feel a bit lower quality.

360 unless you have small hands

I use an Xbox One controller and it is fantastic! You'll just need a fairly long micro USB cable to use it.

Get the Steam Controller. If you need one immediately, get a XBOX 360 controller.

To me the xbox one controller shits all over the 360.

Also, there is a xbox one wireless pc adapter coming soon.

I believe you have to buy a special receiver to use a wireless one on PC.

Touch pad instead of right side joystick is gonna be crap for anything precise.
