You can use a wired xbox 360 controller, doesn't get much more "similar" than that. You'd need an actual wired one though, you can't use a wireless one and just hook it up with the play and charge kit, that only supplies power from the USB, rather than the full interface. I think I read that you can use the dongle that microsoft sells to enable you to use the wireless one too. Works "out of the box" allegedly if you're using bootcamp to fire up windows for your gaming fix, or there are unofficial mac drivers.
