Think about how many buttons you need then go to the store find the one you like best.

Depends on what type of game. Since I mostly play roms on my emulator (games which I 'own), I use my PlayStation controller hooked up to a usb-to-psx adapter. It works flawlessly on most games, except the analog sticks cannot be calibrated for proper functionality.

I picked up the logitech wingman wireless controller. The button setup is similiar to the PS2 and PS1 button setup.

I use the Thrustmaster Tatical Board It has 9 buttuns around the directional pads, 7 thumb buttons, 20 other buttons, and 6 buttons for team chat and a scroll wheel. For 1st person shooters it's the best and costs about 37.00

hmm, that looks like overkill for playing stuff like roms or other side scrollers. ;)

Xbox controller, extesion modded with standard usb so I can unplug it and still use it for the Xbox. The other end of the extension modded with a female usb plug so I can plug a usb keyboard into the Xbox.

Xbox controller - $30
Xbox extension - $10
usb extesion cable - $5

Nostromo N52. N52 (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=2071&pcount=&Product_Id=157024) All the guys that play with me now use them. We all swear by them. Fairly easy to set up and great feel/function. If you are looking for a joystick I like my Logitech Wingman Force3D just fine. I do BF1942 DC and it works great.
