*[http://amzn.to/1awfjsN Mayflash adapters] work well and are relatively cheap.
*[http://bliss-box.net/Bliss-Box/ Bliss-Box] is made to order and probably the best adapters you can buy, but they don't come cheap.
*[http://4-play.bliss-box.net/ Bliss-Box 4-Play] is a mass-produced version of the Bliss-Box. It supports up to 4 controllers at the same time and it uses custom cables with an HDMI connector. With the new advent of the API, it now has native controller support. The API is open source. [https://sourceforge.net/projects/bliss-box-api/]*[http://bliss-box.net/ Bliss-Box Gamer-Pro] This is a single version of the 4-play.
*[http://www.retrousb.com/ RetroUSB], good adapters, not the best prices.

For those who don't already have a GameCube controller at home, beware of the Chinese clones that have sprung up like weeds on eBay and Amazon: they are universally crap shit and feel nothing like the real deal. Your best option is either getting a used DOL-003 on eBay or checking local retailers for the Smash 4 reproduction controllers. Expect to spend around $25 plus shipping when buying online, and ''always'' check the pics for loose analog sticks or missing rubber tops. Failing that, the wired "Fight Pad" controllers have inferior build quality to original controllers and aren't plug-and-play in Dolphin, but will work with anything that's compatible with Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers.

===Wiimote===
For emulating Wii games, this is an option if you want to use the real controller. You can connect your Wiimote to your PC using [https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/configuring-controllers/#Real_Wiimote this guide]. If your computer does not have Bluetooth you will need to get a compatible [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_Working_Bluetooth_Devices USB Bluetooth adapter], [http://amzn.to/1fb1xJo this one] has been known to work. In order for the Wiimote pointer to be detected, you'll need a [http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Wireless-Sensor-Bar-Wii/dp/B004C4XNI6/ wireless sensor bar] or 2 candles.
Another option is using the [https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-W010-Wireless-Sensor-DolphinBar/dp/B00HZWEB74 Mayflash DolphinBar], it's a Wii sensor bar with integrated bluetooth. Even Dolphin developers recommend it.
However, if you want to use your Wiimote as a general purpose controller and a pointing device, and not only for Dolphin but lots of other games, get those [http://www.julianloehr.de/educational-work/hid-wiimote/ custom Windows drivers] and you'll be able to map its various controls in other emulators and games.
