After about three threads about getting a controller for my pc, I decided to simply just get a ps3 controller since I managed to get my ps3 controller to work on my pc and it feels so much nicer...

You may ask: Well you already have a controller why buy another one? My young bro likes to play the ps3 alot compared to me :P and I can't play split screen or co-op since we do not have a second controller<<Another reason for me to buy one.  So therefore I want a separate ps3 controller that I can use to play on my pc and as a second controller for the ps3..

 

Note that I live in Chippewa falls, WI, so try your best to locate store products near there or around Eau Claire, WI....Oh and I don't want to buy them overpriced $55 controller<< Still the same price to this day for some reason and price is hard for a guy on a part time job :P

 

Only suggest me to online sites (Mostly I prefer amazon), if you cannot find a store that holds the good quality third party controllers for my ps3

In my experience, Hori PS3 controllers are decent and can be used on the PC, they are wired though. This is where I've bought them before, unsure about the availabilty in US stores though. http://www.play-asia.com/games/playstation3/accessories/controllers_remotes/14/71zl#fc=m:40

 

I've got the Hori pad 3 plus myself and its good for the price.

Why not? Just wondering 

Its not listed as a supported product on their page.

 

and as I already said I dont do 3rd party controllers, ive been down that road, as far as im concerned they are all junk.

Yeah probably....I might just get the original ps3 controllers (though it will be costly) or get the xbox 360 wired controllers (more cheapter but going to have to get used to it)
