Steam - Windows How Good Is Hori FC4?

I have one, I like it

Benefits over Xbox 360 pad? Well, it works on PS4s, so that's one thing it has over Xbox pad

The FC4 is so far above the 360 pad it's not even funny. Some people don't like the adjustable dpad because it has a tendency to slip, but I've never had a problem with it, and this version of the pad comes without it.

hori FC4 as well as the pad that nuclearpotato linked are both well made pads. Good buttons, good dpad. The one downside (and the reason I returned mine) is that on console versions of SG (haven't tested with other games) L3/R3 do not register as buttons (this applies to both the fc4 and the other one). The reason this can be an issue is because the x and square buttons on the pad are much lower relative to the shoulder buttons, so if you don't play with 6 face buttons and want to use it like a dualshock controller its a bit of a stretch for your hand. Fortunately the pad has a setting you can change to allow the r1/r2 buttons on the shoulder to be L3/R3 instead so that the R1/R2 buttons on the face are different than the ones on the shoulder; however, as mentioned this will not work on console versions of SG. If you only play on PC though then its fine.

tl;dr great pad but if you want to use it with 4 face buttons and 4 shoulder buttons like a more conventional pad its harder.
