Why not use the original controller? Check out Lik Sang - they make adaptors for all the current console pads to allow them to work with your mac. I got one for my Xbox controller and it works great, especially in MAME games.

Most USB controllers will work. I use a Gravis Gamepad Pro USB. For any USB devices lacking an OS X driver, you can use USB Overdrive.
