Default Controllers compatable with macs

I've been searching for a controller for a few months now and so far I have had no luck.

Does anyone know of a controller that is mac compatable? I don't have windows on my macs, and I don't really want to put that OS on my computers.

Anyone have any alternate suggestions if there aren't any controllers currently available?

You can probably get away with using any controller. They all function quite well as standalone units. The only reason you really 'need' to connect them to a computer is for firmware updates. You could do this via. a friends laptop if you had too. (and it's not very often this would need to be done)

I heart my non-crashing, non-paper eating mac too much! Sorry!

What about the charting/data-recording components? Would I also be required to borrow a PC to get that information?

There are so many nice controllers out there that I would love to get, but I'm worried about spending a large number of dollars on something I can't get full use out of.
