I'm often close enough to my PC while playing games that wireless seems a little unneeded, but more than that, I just want fewer batteries to manage.

Adjusted title to mention preference for no batteries.

The 8bitdo ultimate or 2C wired look like good options. I haven't used any of their controllers but I've heard good things about them, and they have hall effect joysticks!

Yeah, I have the 8bitdo 2C (wireless). Highly recommend it. I'd imagine the wired version is just as good.

I use the wired one on PC and it works and feels great. Also it's so cheap for such a good product.

I've got the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth and it's great. I finally upgraded to it from my old Xbox 360 wired controller. I would say it's a worthy successor. I assume the wired versions are solid too.
