Best and cheapest Video Game controller for Windows?

I play FPS, and want a controller. However, I can't quite afford $60+ for a XBOX controller, but I don't quite like the feel of a PS3 controller on my hands. I play on Windows 8.1 Update, so please make sure it's compatible. And make sure it's below $30 USD. Along with having it being able to connect to PC without extras. Thanks!

about the only decent controller in that price range is the Logitech F310. decent controller for the most part, but it has it's cons;
-not all games support it natively
-cheap build, slippery in some hands
-reports of dead zones in the analog stick

any cheaper than that, there's no guarantee it'll be worth your money.

if you can push an extra $6-8 in your budget, get an xbox360 controller if the cons above don't seem worth it. i don't know where you're getting the $60 price tag from, but you shouldn't pay more than $40 for one;

or you could try your local store hopefully for a cheaper...

I feel like the F310 is very clunky. The d-pad is a little weird and the triggers dont move as the 360 ones do.
