I can't say for sure, but aren't all controllers region free?

I don't think PAL/NTSC has anything to do with controllers.

The only thing that's different about the controller is how it looks and what it says. The SFC controller looks just like the PAL, only it says Super Famicom instead of Super Nintendo. The NA controller has the different color scheme to match the different style SNES console. All the controllers are interchangeable with each other though.

I was reading in Nintendo power that one of the reasons they did that was to make it easier for players to tell which buttons they were pressing; apparently in Japan that was a common initial complaint when the SFC debuted.

Well either way, that doesn't necessarily mean that a PAL controller wont work on that USB device. In fact, if PAL controllers work on NTSC systems, that's more reason to believe it should work with the USB device. Right?
