PlaySega D-pad broke, looking for a good replacement.

I like the floating D-pad and 6-button layout, but with the d-pad snapping inside I'm now concerned about quality. I see a lot of the Saturn/Genesis 6 button style controllers, but I get a lot of mixed reviews. I mainly use them to play fighting games like Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition and I would prefer a pad since I take them in my book bag to college to play between classes and at work. I can adjust to the xbox controller D-pad, but 2 problems, the D-pad is not very good and no 6-button layout (not very good with the shoulder buttons for the strong/hard attacks). I was looking at the Madcatz, but they are all either sold out or selling for very high prices (needs to be xbox 360, my AMD Fusion notebook won't recognize PS3 controllers).

Key points:
-For Xbox 360 (my notebook does not recognize PS3 controllers)
-Floating D-pad (that won't just break on me)
-6-button layout (you are a god if you find one with 8)
-Gamepad (I don't have a lot of room for carrying with me)

I wanted to hear what some of the folks had to say about the quality and if there is a preferred brand of knock off.
