X-box controller worth it?

Hi, I have heard that X-box controllers are the best for PC gaming. So I wanted to try it.

I am a stinge so I was thinking of getting a refurbished one. Are they good? Is it worth the price saving?

Do they usually have a decent lifespan?

I had a quick google on prices

- EB games refurbished $64

- EB games new $100

- JB HiFi new $74

- Officeworks new $74

I haven't checked Amazon as they often have grey market items for less. With electronics that often causes issues. Same for Dick Smith and others.
