There's a "third party" wireless Mega Drive 3-button controller that's pretty good. Made by the same company that made the original Sega controllers but without Sega branding. Unfortunately a regular dpad instead of the reverse dpad but still pretty good, though not as good as the later Sega-branded wireless 6-button pads.
The wireless Logitech controllers for the original Xbox are pretty good, the later ones specifically. The early ones are huge and need like half a dozen batteries, don't get those. Most of them have a really fancy dpad where each direction gets its own spring and it feels excellent.
