Keyboard and mouse, but when I started using computers I was so young that my hands were too small to hold the mouse properly, so I left clicked with my thumb up until three or four years ago when I got my first ergonomic mouse. Kinda funny how long habits can stay with you.
I’ve just had to search for the right model but the earliest that I remember is the Coin Control Competition Pro 5000. We had it in a dark/deep blue colour.

Xbox 360 controller. we got the console quite late, around 2012-ish? other than that we were mostly a pc household.
Atari controller
We upgraded to a Wica controller (same thing as the Atari controller just with better parts so it didn’t break so easily.)
Atari 2600 followed by NES

Pong.
Atari 2600 controller. Joystick & button.
My parents bought us a Nintendo 64 for Christmas when it came out.
Never played any games or consoles that came in between those two. It was wild.
C64 joystick was the first (playing Professional Ski Simulator…) but the Mega Drive controller was the one I used everyday.
Not a controller per say, but does a mouse and keyboard count?
3-button Genesis controller.
My first controller was probably an NES knockoff. Nintendo never did (and still doesn’t) sell consoles officially in my home country.
If you’re not counting the GBA SP’s controls, my first official controller was the Wii’s Wiimotes.
I had tac-2 style joystick on my spectravideo sv-738
