This is the one you should get:

As you can see you can also buy used on good condition from trusted sellers for around $25. If you want wireless you will also need one of this:

As you can see the original costs $20 while the third parties ones goes from $8 to $12, most of the thrid party ones works perfectly (you can tell by the positive reviews) personally I bought a third party one and works flawlessly, was plug and play, didnt even need the included CD.

You can also save and buy a wired controller:

I did buy this one first, but the cables was REALLY anoying while using on my laptop and ended up selling it and buying a wireless + receiver.

Adittional Tip: If you like FPS (first person shooter) games I really recomend this:

It really helps on aiming, for example while using a zoomed sniper rifle, and since mouse is way better than controler at aiming you wont be that much behind if you like online multiplayer.

Hope it helps :)
