I am interested in getting a computer game controller, and am trying to find a good one.

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

An official Xbox 360 (wired) controller works very well with a PC. Also you should be able to pick them up on ebay reasonably cheap as most people upgrade their wired ones for wireless ones.

How do you use it for a computer?

They are USB and the drivers are installed automatically if you have XP or Vista.

I really like the Logitech Rumblepad 2. It comes in corded and cordless versions. It runs about $30. USD

PS3 wired controllers also work just fine. Other options include grabbing a controller adapter for a variety of other consoles. I intend to get a Street Fighter Xbox Controller and use an adapter to use it as it is a perfect emulator style controller.
