Default What's the best (affordable) PC controller on the market?

What's the best (affordable) PC controller on the market?

I am looking to get a controller (possibly two) for my computer gaming needs. Please list. I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks. I've been reading reviews (eopinions, amazon.com) on various products and nothing really says 'this is a must buy'.

Are there any place on the net that caters specifically to consumer reviews?

posted the wrong things sorry.

For PC controllers, i think Logitech is the best.
I have a 5-year old USB one, still works awesome, and very sturdy. I payed $30 for it.

Thanks Talldude123 and ATIRAGEPRO...

The Logitech dual action control pad, found down at
TARGET for $19.99 (it actually has three buttons in the middle of
the gamepad, click on Amazon.com's link below), however, I was
hesitant due to extremely mixed and some not so kind reviews
on this particular product. OR ARE THEY DIFFERENT
VERSIONS???

There are many that complain about the LEFT analog control stick
literally favoring and sticking towards a particular direction on
occasions. Has this ever happened to both of your Logitech's. I'm
guessing likely not on account that it's a recommended product
by both of you. I do understand that there will be rotten apples,
lemons found in certain batches just as with any other product.

Cool "ANALAWGS..."

Geez, I dont have any of those problems, and I emulate games all the time.

You should probably trust epinions.com and find their highest rated controller.
