A controller for ANY game is useless. Mouse and keyboard all the way.

I might be a weird guy but I use either keyboard + mouse (RTS, RPG, FPS) or my good, old, trusted Sidewinder Precision 2 joystick (sports, racing, sims).

I use gamepad for some console ports/emulation only. FPS games are horrible on a pad. Indeed, most native PC games suck on a pad. Speaking of pads, I tried that Logitech, and it was awful. I exchanged it for a Thrustmaster Firestorm, MUCH better.
