See title. I want to get a nice gamepad, but obviously don't want to spend too much. And I have no idea what I should be looking for in a gamepad.

For reference, I have an Alienware laptop, and am looking to play games like Binding of Isaac, Megaman X Legacy Collection, Bethesda games, and probably others I'm forgetting.

My go to is this guy:

Easy plug n play, good "feel" to it, robust and works perfectly with old emulators if you wanna go retro (megadrive, snes, amiga etc).

Edit: I will say, it is not great for Street Fighter type games. I cant put my finger on it but its just not as "fluid" as say the old megadrive or snes pads. not sure what it is.
