The controllers I had for the PS1 & PS2 from Mad Catz felt better made/quality than the original Sony pads of the time.
Though this game controller isn't my kinda thing as I don't play these type of things any more (consoles), I can appreciate the design as it looks really good... I especially like the cracked design, it'll save it from looking like crap when you do actually drop this thing. :laugh:
The xbox 360 version of their sticks will work on PC's, i use mine for MAME.
