PC version, keyboard/mouse or controller?

Those of you with the pc version, do you play with the keyboard/mouse, or use a controller? If your using a controller, is it the xbox360 one, or which one would work best for the game? I tried the game out with a keyboard last night, and was one of the more frustrating gaming experiences i had trying to remember what all the buttons do. I'm hoping a controller will allow me to retain some sanity.

You can use just about any controller with the game and it'll be better than a keyboard and mouse. Personally, I prefer my 360 controller. Plus the game actually offers full support for both wireless and wired 360 controllers this year.

wireless for sure works without any 3rd party software? I thought i was reading to use the xbox controller it had to be wired. Otherwise even if you used a wireless controller with the charging cable the pc only sees it as a usb device.

I'm not sure about the wireless controller, but I just plug in my wired 360 controller via USB. It works great because the game was designed for the 360 controller.

Yup. I use a wireless no problem. Last year there were a bunch of issues, but now everything works as it should for 2K11.

EDIT: To use a wireless controller, you need a wireless receiver for the controller (The USB charger doesn't work for that). It looks like this (You can find them for a bit cheaper if you shop around...I just picked the first link):

I bought the Logitech F310 gamepad and it works great for me. I can't imagine playing with KB and mouse.
