I use the Xbox Gamepad S. (yes an actually consol gamepad) You just need the
USB adapter. I found one quite easily on the net for $7. No PC gamepad is as
good as a consol gamepad (construction and performance). There are also PS2
gamepad USB adapters out there too or so I have been told. I have no idea if
GameCube gamepad adapters have been made yet.

Sweet man, those consol gamepads really rocks and are very precise, and FF
is a nice tough. That said I wish I owned a PS2 cuz the Xbox gamepad can
make your right thumb sore cuz the buttons are more rounded and stiffer
(have to press them very hard) but still better than a PC pad or using
keyboard.
