Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons: -problems with older games(use xpadder or similar controller mapping software)-worst directional pad ever

Pros: -compatibility with most modern games-durable-most comfortable controller ever
Comment:
This is the really the only choice for a pc gaming controller, a calculated move by ms no doubt. Luckily for the most part it is the best designed controller out there. i am on my second one which a ordered at a fantastic price here. the first one is still functional but after 4 years of hard gaming and a even harder concrete floor its best days are behind it. My only complaint is the D pad is horrid, you cant get it in black and the difference with directinput and xinput are maddening but can be fixed with a mapping program.

Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons: Cord is too long

Pros: Affordable, Compatible, Easy to Install, Rumble
Comment:
I have xbox 360, and a logitech controller for pc. Everytime it would take a few games to get accustom to each controller when switching between games, so just need one for everything. Wired is better wireless, read some reviews that the receiver has some issues so wired better, and plus no batteries needed. It works with my 360 also.

Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons: Doesn't have a great layup for n64, but hey what controller does

Pros: ComfortableFamiliarGood quality
Comment:
Pricematched it down to 35, and bought it to play windows games as well as emulators on my hdtv through my pc. The cable is reasonably long, so unless you're planning on sitting quite far away from the screen I wouldn't bother going wireless. The wired controller works very well, and you'll never have to worry about batteries. All-in-all, worth the money.

Cons: -Analog sticks wear out eventually (hasnt happened to me yet)

Pros: -Ergonomic-Wired (dont have to worry about running out of battery)-Compatible with every racing game I have tried
Comment:
This is a great gamepad for windows, the best available imo. Works great for racing games and emulators. Only problem i have had with xbox 360 controllers is the analog sticks wear out eventually and will constantly tilt slightly in one direction however this hasnt happened to me yeat after 1 year+

I have bought this controller for Dirt 2 and I have been very pleased so far. I bought the wired version because of the cheaper price. The controls feel perfect and it is very comfortable. This controller is my only non Logitech device on my PC... Highly recommended!!!

Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons:-Dirt accumulates and becomes visible in the engraved parts and lines of the controller since it's white colour

Pros:-Vibration (force feedback)-Comfortable-Works amazingly well with Games for Windows-Durable
Comment:
This controller works really well with Games for Windows. I've used the controller with Race Driver Grid, Batman Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed, Burnout Paradise, Prince of Persia (2008), and Street Fighter IV. All of these games works very well with the controller. You can enjoy the comfort of console gaming with all the benefits of PC gaming at the same time. I highly recommend this controller to any PC gamer who plays a lot of Games for Windows. However, FPS games are better left for the precision of the mouse.

Comment:
Made by Microsoft so it's your best bet at compatibility with new games. It feels great in the hands, as expected from a XBOX 360 controller.

Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons:-Chord is a tad long for me. Had to wrap up over half of it with a zip tie to avoid it getting caught up on everything on my desk.-Haven't had too much time to play with it, but it seems the right side of the controller vibrates half as much as the left. Not sure if it is suppose to be this way, but further testing with a larger variety of games should tell me if this is so or not.

Pros:-Out of the box plug and play with Windows 7. No driver installation needed.-Automatic configuration of games which support the Xbox 360 Controller.-Very solid build, should be able to take a beating without premature failure.
Comment:
So far it is working perfectly fine with The Last Remnant and Prototype, both which natively support the Xbox 360 controller. No configuration needed, it just worked. Probably the best controller for the PC in terms of compatibility and reliability. Should last me a long time, and with more and more games natively supporting this controller, I don't have to worry about the hassles of manually configuring for the games I wish to play.

Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons:None

Pros:Easy install - just plug it in and wait 10 secondsWorks just like it does on 360, excellent analog control sticks and left/right throttlesComfortable, good weightCord is long enough to sit back in a comfy chair (within reason, not across a room)
Comment:
If you've used this controller on 360 then you know what your getting yourself into. Otherwise, its a safe bet that you will like this controller anyway.

Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons:Directional pad needs to be pressed hard to register, or needs to be physically modified.

Pros:Comfortable, full-featured, easy installation, no input lag
Comment:
Great controller that is well worth the price. The build feels very sturdy, and the software & driver installation went completely without a hitch on my XP system. I have tried several controllers before and all of them suffered from game-breaking input delay. I have noticed no such lag with the Xbox360 wired controller so far, which is so important on those fast action games where responsiveness on every frame matters. This could be the best and last PC controller you will ever need!

Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons:price

Pros:Great game support and direct compatability2 analog sticks, many buttons and 2 pressure sensitive triggersWorks for PC and x360
Comment:
Very good controller. Probably the Windows PC's official controller, which means that games that may make use of the controller will have your buttons all mapped and ready to go if you have this baby.The difference between this version and the x360 version is that this package comes with the drivers. If you get the x360 one, all you do is download the drivers off microsoft's site.

Cons:None so far, not all games will recognize the controller but that is expected

Pros:Wire is long, Comfortable, Easy to Install
Comment:
Great controller which also works with the 360 and it is nice to take a break from mouse and keyboard and just lay back. The installation CD installed easily, works with Vista, and no problems getting my Computer to recognize the device.

Microsoft C8G-00004 Xbox 360 Common Controller
Cons:Feels a bit small for me, no extra features

Pros:Sturdy, good quality, easy set-up, responsive
Comment:
I got this for the occasional fighting or sports game. Although it feels a bit small for my taste, it does feel nice and sturdy. I prefer a more wider, bulkier controller personally, but there doesn't seem like much of a choice for quality PC controllers nowadays. Buttons are responsive. If there were extra features like alt/shift buttons it would be sweeter.Set up was easy on Vista Ultimate. Haven't bothered to use the bundled software yet but the games I've tried recognize it fine.A solid PC controller.
