I recently got a USB controller. Are there any online multiplayer games I can use it for?

I have already listed Smite and will try it out, but not sure how good it will work. Any other suggestions?

Note : I don't like games where we just have to progress through a story mode. I am more into PvP.
Shhh...

Look through Steam library. There is a filter for full controller support and semi controller support. Semi just means you still need mouse / keyboard at some point. For MMOs its for chatting. Together with multiplattform games coming from console, there are hundreds of games with native controller support.

So its up to you what genre you enjoy.

Thank you. I did this already but going through all of them and also checking their playerbase is a bit difficult. So I posted it here hoping to find something that quite a few people play (which is necessary for PvP). And iirc all games don't show in that list. I also read other users mentioning this.

But I am getting Smite. Read it has semi-controller support. Listed World of Tanks Blitz as well. Any other suggestions are welcome (specially free PvP fighting games similar to Street Fighter).
Shhh...

Well, its not easy to recommend games without knowing your prefered genre. Defiance 2050 is an upcoming F2P Shooter that works with gamepad. A free fighting game a la Street Fighter does not really exist to my knowledge. There is Dead or Alive Last Round, but that free game is heavily DLC infested and nobody plays it online. Rising Thunder could be possible, but it has "newbie friendly" controle schemes, which makes it not suitable for everyone.

World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, War Thunder, Star Trek Online, Tera, Paladins. Overwatch, even Counterstrike is playable with controller. For Honor, The Division.

Thanks. I have a USB controller which I bought separately, and it is not an XBOX or PS2 controller (though key settings are similar to PS2 controllers). I tried Smite and Dungeon Defenders 2 & neither could recognize my controller. I could use my controller perfectly for Brawlhalla though. If its not too much to ask, could you please tell me if World of Tanks should work with my controller or not? If not, any other game that you mentioned that should work?

I like any PvP game except FPS (I don't dislike FPS, but my eyes cannot take it for too long). And my laptop is a gen 4 or 5 core i3 with 4 GB RAM & 1 GB graphics memory.
Shhh...

Whew, a laptop and unknown gamepad. I have no idea what would work and what not. Best way is to look in the forum of each game and maybe ask with your controller name. Or ask somehwere if your controller has drivers similiar to a playstation one, so it can be used without minding the different company behind it.

Also there is another solution, which works with many games but is a bit finicky: joy2key, xpadder or something else. A little programm that lets you use your controller instead of mouse and keyboard by emulating. And its freely configurable. Explanation for xpadder http://www.thefullwiki.org/Xpadder

And in case you didnt know that, if you buy a game on steam and play it up to a maximum of 2 hours in a window of 2 weeks after buying it, you can refund your money and give the game back to steam. It can be a way to try games. But be careful with timelimit or you use the refund option and maybe too much games in a short time can make it look suspicious.

The best PvP multiplayer online PC games to play with a controller are in my opinion Rocket League and Dark Souls. (all 3 of them, though Dark Souls 3 probably has the highest population currently)

Dark souls is more PvE focused, with rocket league being pure PvP. But for both of those games, being on a controller is not really a disadvantage.
