Totally 100% agree, the best controller ever released for the PC.
There were two versions though and you want the second iteration.
The first one was SV-262, that was the original 3dfx branded version. That is the one in the picture you posted. It is a translucent smoked color with a gameport connector and came with a gameport to USB adapter, it also had a battery compartment for 2 AA batteries to power the two force feedback motors.
The second one was SV-262F, it is a translucent blue color and is native USB so does not have the battery compartment. It is recognized in every version of Windows I've tried it with. They pop up on ebay occasionally usually around $50. Do yourself a favor grab one.
One other difference is the 3dfx one had a raised horizontal and vertical + design on the D pad where as the later one opted for a smoother flat contoured design. They both have right and left shoulder and trigger buttons.
