Honestly the stick I own sounds like a perfect match. Hori's Real Arcade Pro 3 (HRAP3). You have to import it from Asia though. I can confirm it works with PS3 games ( It had some issues with PS2 back compat on the PS3, I don't know if firmware updates fixed that). It definitely works with the PC. No drivers need. The USB cord is 7 feet long. It has the PS button so you can bring up the in-game XBM.
Here is a review ( I suggest you look for more): http://highscoreonline.wordpress.com/2007/05/11/review-hori-real-arcade-pro-3/
Here is the item at Play Asia.com http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-1rrr.html The have a white HRAP3 but it cost more.
There are two negative with this arcade stick. One it has an octagon gate. Most US sticks supposedly have a circle gate. Circular gates make it easier to do circle motions. Second, there is nowhere to rest the palm of your button mashing hand. Don't know if that is a issue for you or not.
I been playing the crap out of Tekken DR online with the stick and love it. It does take a while to get used to the octagon gate. It makes circle motions harder, but obviously it is something you will pick up in time using the stick.
