Buy an authentic Sega USB controller off of eBay. Make sure it has an SLS sticker on back.

I agree with Hatta, they work great on the PS3. This seller has the real deal:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-USB-Gray-SEGA-S ... dZViewItem . The gray ones seem to be the only ones left at a decent price (other than the knock offs that is...)
I have bought 2 of these from him months apart and the 2nd time it arrived very quickly (they shipped from Hong Kong). Both have been very durable.

Sean made me a custom Bliss Box with only Sega Saturn to USB input. It does both regular saturn pads and the 3D analog controller. It works great.

According to the compatibility list, the Bliss Box is compatible with the Virtua Stick.
I read somewhere that Mayflash's 3-in-1 PC Magic Box isn't compatible with Saturn arcade sticks anyway. I have one, but I don't really want to part with it because it's the only DC-USB adapter I have.

I recommend buying a brand new Saturn USB controller. Sega has been making them new, and they're every bit as good as the original Saturn controllers. Although they're sold out of Hong Kong, I cannot stress this enough, they are authentic Sega made controllers.
I've bought two of them. Here is a video review I made.

How do I know which ones are the good, official Saturn USB controllers on Ebay? All I have been able to find are ones from China. I really want a white one, just to have have something different from the standard black controllers, and it is difficult to find one that isn't being sold from China.
