My first buy was a no name controller at Game Stop at Euro 9.99. It's a PS-Style variatoon and includes even a force feedback (dual motor rumble).

As usual, it shows some marketing blurb - while the packages shouts USB 2.0, the Device Descriptor tells USB Version 1.10 _and_ asks for low speed :) Also note the fancy model name string: "Generic USB Joystick "As driver the standard Windows HID Driver is used.
What I'm missing is a OUT-pipe to handle the vibrator motors.
Programm crashes
No Nuthing - just the weired name:)
All elements are detected:
The controller features a 'MODE' button, switching various functions. A red LED displays the state. Further 'On' refers to a once pressed mode button with a lit LED.

Windows assigns the standard HID driver (hidusb.sys) which includes Joystick handling.
It seams as if the Mode switches between a digital gamepad (SNES like) mode and an analogue (liek xBox) mode. Even the handling looks quite alike. All definitions are according to the USB HID descriptor.
The FireFox behavior is rather strange. For one, 6 axis are reported (and displayed), while the USB HID decriptor clearly states only 4 Pointers (Direction-X, Direction-Y, Direction-Z, Rotate-Z). Then the Rocker/Hat is maped in a somewhat strange (and useless) way to axis 4/5.
