Recommend me a good USB/PC controller for SNES games!

Two shoulder buttons, 4 on the finger and two for the start select would be great. None of that namby-pamby analogue stick rubbish thanks

I bought mine from this person here on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/SNES-SUPER-SMARTJOY ... dZViewItem

He even sells them with a brand new authentic nintendo brand controller and his prices are the lowest on Ebay. He shipped the item super fast and everything was brand new as advertised. This setup works great for pretty much every emulator/game you can throw at your PC with no compatibility issues. Best money I ever spent!

That is the only way to go for SNES emulation!

Very true. Plus I was able to modify other controllers to work in conjunction with the SNES Super Smart Joy to get more bang for the buck.

The official USB Sega Saturn pad for Mac/PC is awesome. It's exactly like the white japanese Saturn pad. For SNES games it has the same shoulder button placement but also the six down below so you could play games like Street fighter with or without using the shoulder buttons. They are becoming very hard to find though.

I use the original design of the Microsoft Sidewinder gamepad and find it very comfortable. Most of the ones you find are gameport versions, but there are USB versions with the same form factor as well:

(the gameport version has one more button that turns it off; most of the pads have lighter grey buttons rather than the black ones, and thats the one you should get actually as the black ones are earlier versions which reportedly had some problems).

I can't see from the picture but does it have shoulder buttons?

The Sidewinder does not have shoulder buttons but rather triggers on the backside. I own one of those too (the USB version), and I have to say that my biggest complaint is the D-pad. It has major control issues and the D-pad is set at a strange offset angle. The Smartjoy box is the way to go.
