case fixes and irregular case usage fixes
The Xbox One controller is mostly similar to the 360 controller except noticeably higher quality overall. Especially in regards to the d-pad which has gone from abysmal to pretty great, even using four mechanical switches for it.
Can simply be plugged in with any Micro B cable and it works as an standard xinput XInput controller with no need for batteries.
===Xbox 360===
===Logitech USB Gamepad===
Logitech also makes good xinput XInput gamepads that plug directly into the USB port on your computer. Their layout is similar to PlayStation DualShock. There is both a wired and wireless one.
The quality of these isn't too great, and the d-pad is only slightly better than the 360 controller, but they are most likely the best you can get in their price ranges.

http://store.madcatz.com Mad Catz sell a wide variety of arcade sticks for the Xbox 360 but function perfectly well with most operating systems with a little configuration and behave like a normal wired Xinput XInput controller.
==Mobile Gamepads==
Pretty much any [http://amzn.to/1iJqhhe bluetooth Bluetooth controller] will work with an Android or iPhone for emulation. Some recommended controllers:
* [[DualShock 3]] ($40) Good quality controller
* [http://amzn.to/MsJLtf Nyko Playpad Pro] ($20) Cheap controller. Has similar layout as DualShock 3.
* [http://amzn.to/1nhbue7 Moga Controller] ($20) Cheap controller, comes with a clip to attach phone.
* [http://amzn.to/1eZ9ukJ Gametel] ($30) Smaller controller, comes with a clip to attach phone. Has similar to layout to NES controller
* [http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ipega Ipega] ($20-$30) A series of cheap but sturdy bluetooth Bluetooth controllers, in various styles ranging from small iControlPad style controllers to basically Xbox 360 controllers with clips. No or unnoticeable latency. Can be paired in four modes--keyboard, controller, iCade, and mouse. Optional, difficult to find, poorly translated Chinese app allows them to emulate Moga input at the cost of adding latency.
==Motion Controller==
==Light Gun==
Traditional light guns rely on the behavior of CRT monitors and TVs to function. There are light guns that do not rely on the monitor for positioning but behave more like wiimotes Wiimotes using IR light.. The accuracy is not as good but most people can adjust fairly quickly. Within most emulators the sensor in the light gun behaves like a mouse and usually require no special drivers for setup.
===AimTrak===

Works with all monitors including CRT, LCD, and plasma. The package comes with both the USB gun (an infrared receiver) & a USB-to-infrared transmitter bar that sits on top of the screen. The calibration software for Windows XP/Vista/7 is available on the Ultimarc website, but it's also been confirmed to work on Windows 8 (no drivers are required; the unit works as a mouse). The gun kit is also designed to work on Playstation PlayStation 2 & 3 consoles as well as in Linux (again, as a mouse,) though there are no official calibration programs for Linux.
