    Xbox 360 wireless controller with the PC adapter. It's the best console controller ever made, and it's also the best PC controller ever made. It includes the full vibration and everything, plus the controls were specifically designed for the Xbox 360 controller. There's no other controller for PC that matches it.

    I second the xbox 360 controller. It works great in DMC4. Well DMC4 is designed with it in mind.

    You can get a wired Xbox 360 controller and use the XBCD drivers so that the controller functions in every application, and not just "Games for Windows". Sadly the XBCD drivers do not function with the wireless controller, so it's a trade-off.

    Best controller ever made is the wii controller! But this game is designed for the xbox360 controller like grid, although already in our main thread on this game somebody is using the wii controller and said it works great. Id have to agree and could cook up some really cool control schemes with the wii mote.
