Well, that sucks.

IMHO, Logitech has (or is it had?) pretty outstanding hardware. I had two RumblePad 2 (the original ones) that survived over 10 years of abuse (buttone mashing, dropping, rage due to losing to my brother 30 times in a row in fighting games). Still the best gamepads I've ever used.

Are there any realistic alternatives to Logitech?

Microsoft's Xbox ones are actually preferred and compatible these days on PC. They work out of the box.

If you don't need analog sticks, Retro-bit does replica Saturn controllers with a USB interface.

8bitdo make some really nice gamepads.
