Recommendations for gamepads?

Well, I am in need of a controller for my PC, to make it alot easier to play on emulators, and games that have atrocious PC controls.

 

Any suggestions? I was looking at the Razer Onza, but apparently a ton of the thumbsticks broke.

 

If worst comes to worst, I'll just get a regular XBOX360 controller

In regards to the xbox one controller or PS4, I'm a cheapskate, so the cheaper the better (as long as i dont compromise for quality)

The thumbsticks on the Onza are not very sensitive, just get a normal 360 pad it's the best one out there.

PS2 controller with a USB PS2 adapter 

i never really liked the PS2 controllers, as nostalgic as they may be, they feel really unnatural to hold :(

 

The thumbsticks on the Onza are not very sensitive, just get a normal 360 pad it's the best one out there.

and alright, ill wait and see, that very well may be the best way to go

I'm gonna try and find a wireless one (you can achieve more comfy positions when you dont have cables) :D

kk, Any Xbox 360 controller will work, there is a 10-20 USD wireless receiver. http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Xbox-360/dp/B003WFYZCY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383970829&sr=8-2&keywords=xbox+360+pc+wireless+gaming+receiver
