Jakobud:

Several years ago I got some NES and SNES (authentic) converted USB controllers from here:

Looks like he might be outta stock of some of them right now.  But I would recommend buying from him.  They are excellent!

I bought a Buffalo brand USB pad off eBay. It's superior to the generic pads (unfortunately, bought one of those too) and prob as close as u can get to the original controller. It's a little lighter, but otherwise a decent pad. I'd reccomend it if u can't find a good OEM pad.

I have the retrousb kits in one sega genesis controller and two nes controllers. I found that the pic chip on them tend to get very hot and at times, the pc will stop recognizing them for a while. Happens in multiple PCs i try them on and during extended gameplay (ie trying to beat a game) I did put a small heatsink pad on my genesis kit and i haven't had any issues since. I need to find some small silicone heat pads for my two nes controllers.

I bought a pair of that same controller a couple years ago. Its ok. Not Nintendo quality, you can tell its cheep plastic but they hold up ok

I have a couple of these and they work pretty well:

They aren't oem snes quality, but close, and for the price it's not a big risk to try them.
