link because OP is a dunce.
edit: can anyone with a bluetooth controller confirm the rumble works over bluetooth?
I have an XB1 for PC controller. It was $60 (on sale though) and came with a wireless dongle thingy.
This is partially incorrect. There are actually three variants.
Here's the official page describing these.
Did you install the drivers for your controller? If you did and its still not working, get a wired Microsoft Xbox 360 controller or wired Microsoft Xbox 1 controller. You can see it's much cheaper to get the wired 360 controller. If you absolutely want a wireless controller, you could get either the wireless Xbox 360 controller and the Windows Xbox 360 adapter or wireless Xbox 1 controller with Windows adapter (old version) or wireless Xbox 1 controller with Windows adapter (new version). Since they're made by Microsoft, they work fine with Windows. Logitech also makes a few good controllers, the wired Logitech Gamepad F310 and the wireless Logitech Gamepad F710. I personally have a wired Microsoft 360 controller and a wireless Logitech F710 and from my experience, the official Microsoft controllers work best with games. I hope that helps.
Xbox One controller + adapter is probably your best bet.
This is what you'll want. Wired and wireless. The battery packs are extra but they aren't required. It takes AA (and comes with a pair) and last long enough.

There's not a substantial difference. The xbox one controller has better ergonomics, a flush battery compartment, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The biggest difference is how you connect to your PC: bluetooth, wireless adapter, or USB cable.
I use an XBox One controller. Standard wired XBox controller will also work. (Playing this, among a bunch of other platformers and fighters suddenly, killed my other controller so I upgraded to the XB1)
If you get an XB1 controller, the USB receiver is $20 on Amazon.
