    Default USB controller?

    Is this a good idea to buy? Maybe not the ones I link to exactly, but do they work well with emulators like epsxe, zsnes, and so on and so forth? I have Windows XP as well.

    But it works fine? I was probably gonna go wired, just because its cheaper, and I won't be far away from the monitor.

    yes!
    i use a logitec Chillstream Xbox360 controller and it works Great for everything from DiRT to PS1 emulation.
    i dont really bother with other emulators on the pc anymore cause most or all of the emulated games i play can be emulated on my PSP or NDSL

    I found this on Walmart.com, its very similar, does it look okay? I have a gift card for refunds and wouldn't have to pay but a couple bucks, or should I get the one on Amazon?

    If there is a better controller on walmart.com that you find, link me to it.

    But it just feels so.... weird... And it's not the same layout, just the same button count

    Also, pretty much anything labeled logitech is going to be good

    I used to, I sold my XBOX a while ago, I think I know what I want though, I will probably get the one from Amazon.
