Lucky there's a family guy
Lucky there's a man who positively can do
All the things that make us
Laugh and cry

The most hassle-fee controller for the PC these days is still the wired Xbox controller. It's the cheapest option, the most compatible (there are a few older games that won't recognize the wireless because it has a different device ID, can be fixed with .ini edits for some games and the xbox controller emulator though).

Well, you're slightly right but I feel the DS3 is only a very small bit more involved using Xinput Wrapper which is super easy to install and completely plug and forget as it runs as a service.

More importantly, you can use a DS3 over Bluetooth which may be built into your computer or it's a cheap $5 BT USB-stick unlike a 360 receiver which is another cord dangling there. Having a cord in 2014 sucks and it's being nice not to accidentally yoink it out or get it tangled up.

True, a wired 360 is $20 compared to $35 for a DS3 but I find DS3 is more comfortable (obviously a preference choice but most people I know also prefer it) and having the better D-Pad is handy for platformers or if you use emulators.
