Update: Well, I decided to go with the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV fightpad after all. After much anguish in RMAing the first broken one and trying to get the working one working under Windows 7 (no one told me you had to install the driver for the wireless version of Xbox 360 Controller. What an idiot I was, to actually think that my wired Mad Catz would need a wireless driver to be recognized under Windows plug n play *sarcasm-smirk*), I have decided that I think I made the right choice.
The fightpad feels right though I still wish those diagonals were a little smoother on the D-pad but I suppose this is the nature of gamepad D-pads, and it's infinitely preferable to the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller's D-pad which is a hard plastic pile of poo, like those hard plastic turds you bought in joke shops. I think I eventually might end up getting a cheap arcade stick then modding it with higher quality buttons & stick. I really want easy diagonals. Anyway, thanks for all the recommendations
