how many controllers are there

My current project has a controller settings option. Currently I have 3 options.
1 XBOX - Which I test using a rockcandy XBOX 360 controller
2 PS - Which i test with a rockcandy PS3 controller
3 Logitech - Which has 2 settings but only one is useful - it has XBOX buttons but uses the same number outputs as the PS Controller.

Are these all the main type or should I add more?
Thanks Dev

it wasn't me, it was other kids

While it's definitely good to have presets like that, I think most people would agree having custom controls is best.

My question is if it's somehow illegal to use the terms Xbox and PlayStation in a game, even when referring to detected controller/presets. Like a commercially released PC game, is it "allowed" to use those terms?

Steam controller is worth considering. As well as the PS4/Xbox One controllers as they'll eventually become as common as the 360/PS3 are now.
