Looking for a good, inexpencive gamepad, recommendations?

I just got GTA: SA for my PC on the 17th, and although the M/K controls are playable, it's still damn-near impossible to fly something effectively. I've been looking at gamepads today, and the ones I've seen all have mixed customer reviews. I know that some people here almost have to own one, so I'm looking for some recommendations that aren't that expencive, but not total crap. I don't want to go above 30 US dollars because I don't have a lot of money ATM. I'd prefer one that resembles a PS2 controller.

Thanks in advance.

i have a controller USB style thats similar to a PS2 dual shock 2...rumbles and everything I bought the little guy at Wal-Mart for $14.95 US dollars its a "Game Elements Recoil PC Game pad"...it works great with NFS:Most wanted (black edition) and all the other racing games i play GTA:Vice City and SA work well....though they are FAR better on PS2...(its weird i have the games on both pc and console )

Either way, its great for its value and really durable...also, its cord retracts after use

Try the MS Sidwinder game pad. I use it for Final Fantasy and it works really good. However, it seems to no longer be available. An alternative is Logitech Dual Action Game Pad PC for $18.22 at Walmart.
