The WIRED xbox 360 controller works. In most cases the wireless one doesn't connect or has issues, even if you plug the cable into the controller then plug it into usb. Maybe this has changed, but I gave up on it a long time ago for those reasons, cant be bothered to look into it again. I use the PS3 controller on my PC, via Bluetooth connection. Works great. Install custom Bluetooth controller drivers from motioninjoy, kick back on the couch, and game on wirelessly.
