Topic: any recommendations for good+cheap PC game controller?

[ejamer]

With the Indie Humble Bundle V providing some PC gaming that I'm actually really interested to get into, it looks like I'll want a controller to get the best experience. 


I've heard that wired 360 controllers are probably the best/easiest solution... but that costs considerably more than what I paid for all of the games I'll be playing, and sits outside my budget at the moment.  Can anyone recommend something good and cheap?  Or does anyone have recommendations about what to avoid?

I got my 360 Wired Controller for $27.99 as an open box.  I look for that sort of deal.  I'm finding that a lot of the games on steam that can use a controller are made for that one due to XNA.
