Keyboard and mouse is a predictable non answer so please take the question as second best if you are tempted to answer so :p

Assuming playing regular console style games on a PC here rather than strategies, FPS, flight sims, and other more traditionally pc oriented stuff.

I don't know. I currently use an XBox controller for fighting games, works OK for me.

I use an xbox controller. Don't know if it's "the best" but it's what I'm used to at this point.

The Playstation controller is regarded has very good but it's configuration is hit or miss. Xbox Series controller is good and works everywhere, all the time.

Get an Xbox knock-off, doesn't have to be the branded one, I think there's plenty.

I prefer the Xbox controllers on PC but since my old one died I just use my PS4 Dualshock controller now for everything

I use an xbox 360 pad I've had for a while. I've also got a ps3 but never used its pad on my pc.
I was just wondering the other day whether the newer gen console pads would be worth an upgrade. They look very similar and not had much experience with them.

From a 360 and a DualShock 3? Massive upgrade.
