Looking for a controller which is similar to thee PS2 or PS3 controller layout for PC and it has to support Windows 7.

Thanks. Really sorry if this is posted in wrong place i didn't know where to put it.

Maybe Logitech Gamepad F310?

I got one, it's pretty similar to basic PS2 controller and works on Windows 7. It's also pretty cheap, got mine for 20€ as new.

And as far as I know, pretty much any controller should work on W7 as it uses some uber-techonology to identify new devices.

I'm probably wrong, but I thought you could plug the PS3 in via USB and it would work? Not sure if you need to download anything though.

Did a quick googling, and it seems that you infact need to download some utility for it to work, but it's not a big job, just download one program and follow the steps.

Link to the site.

For what it's worth, I too was pretty adamant about using my Ps3 controller when I'd begun to play SA on my computer not too long ago. Long story short, I ended up just using the mouse + keyboard and it was one of the more rewarding experiences I've had with respect to gaming. Just give it a shot is all I'm saying

I had a PS3 for just under a year so I learnt the controller thing using it to play Vice on PC. I remember having to map the correct buttons but it was quick to do.

Yeah get the drivers and use xpadder, job done

Got a controller from a pawn shop that replicates the XBOX for PS3, but it's recently been showing it's problems in a failed contact for left and right touch selection, it wavers to the right without even touching the controller at times, so it's sticking.
I like it enough to try a direct replacement, but if this happens to be a trait, I'd steer away from that brand with a passion. Just beware, it's better then paying $40 or more for one controller, but not if it fails to operate, even without heavy hands on gaming
