DS3 over Bluetooth, emulating a 360 controller via MotioninJoy. Not quite as plug-n-play as just using a 360 controller (have to manually enable 360 emulation via the software), but works perfectly once it's up and running.
PS3 controller
Because while 360 controller is better for shooters, i just use my mouse+keyboard for those. But if i am playing Super Meat Boy i want to use the d pad, and the 360 dpad is...well...a piece of work.
Just prefer PS3 controller for specific genres and it works fine, mouse+keyboard does the rest.
I just found this:

It replaces the entire MotionInJoy graphical frontend (which is what does all the online stuff). Looks really solid!
If anything, it seems to have more customization options. Watch the video on the "Support" page.Seems to be missing all the customization options though (reassigning axis, buttons, turbo, deadzones, etc), or am I not seeing right?
First post nails it. I bought the black wired one to match my PC case and I prefer wired connection around all my PC equipment.360 controller has the best compatibility. In a lot of Steam games, you can just plug it in and have at it.
Logitech F710.
Wireless and with rumble feature. Nice rubber padding on the back for those sweaty moments, robust springs in the triggers. D-pad can be a little bit iffy at times, but other than that it's a great gamepad.
I used a wired 360 controller for a while, then I got a Logitech Chillstream as a present and have been using it ever since.
I wouldn't recommend the Razer Onza. I've been thru 3 Onza TE's in the last two months... always the same problem, right trigger stops working after a few of days.
Either I have bad luck with Razer products (1 keyboard, 1 mouse and 3 gamepads have died) or Razer's quality control is shit lately.

Best option for no wires / dongles (it uses a version of the micro connector Logitechs mice use).
Only issue is signal can be dropped if you sit more than a few feet away from the receiver.
I have 4 of them... such a shame that they're no longer available as they are probably the best controllers ever made (along with the 360 pad).
Is it lag-free? And can I easilly re-pair it for switching between PS3 and PC use?Wow 3 pages and no one has mentioned that Motionjoy is no longer needed.

Its freaking amazing, no need to open frontends or anything, once paired during install, all you do is press the ps button and it automatically connects to your PC emulating a 360 control so it works in all games right away.
Works with usb and/or bluetooth.
And who would use an actual 360 controller on a PC, the pad is useless for 2d games.

False. Maybe for fighters but everything worked fine. I beat SMB with the damn thing so its definitely not worthless.

I cant stand it, it registers diagonals when i meant to only press one direction.
Barely use it, though. Mouse and keyboard 4 lyfe.
is there a simple way to connect to a PC?
