[hid] is the usual route.
There's a good help file for it. Plug in your controller and do lsusb at the command line. You will probably see the name listed.
In the [hid] help patch, advance the [open( message until you see it appear in the Pd console. Set the poll to 20ms and you should see buttons and joysticks cause some output in Pd.

Okay, this is probably quite basic. But I want to use signals from unrelated USB devices (such as the controllers for the PS2 game buzz) to control PD. How would I go about recognising these devices and logging commands from them?
