I'm looking for a USB game controller that is supported under OS X. I'm looking for something like the Playstation controller or Super Nintendo controller.

I've got a Gravis GamePad USB. ~ $25, It's HID compliant, it works with InputSprockets in 9 and GamePadCompanion at Carvware to run under 10. Looks and feels like a PS1 controller. I played all the way through Super Metroid on my TiBook with it in OSX.

Carvware's GP companion works great - thanks for the link, but I'm affraid I agree with fobside - its $15 we shouldn't have to spend.

especially since the controller costs less than this.
