....you're trolling, right? Seriously, I'm trying to think of a reason someone can honestly say the 360 controller ripped off the ps2 one, and that's all that came to mind. Anyone who has held both types of controllers and says "yea, this one is a rip off of this one" just cannot be trusted. They are similar in that they both have the same amount of buttons/sticks, and that is literally it. the stick location, the overall shape/size, one having actual triggers as opposed to buttons...seriously, gtfo. reported for breaking multiple rules, too. this isn't 4-chan, calling people faggots is generally frowned upon.FarleShadow said:
OT: The 360 controller with a gamecube D-pad. That is all.
A few problems with that.lordlillen said:
if the replace the R1 and L1 with the playstation versions this would be my dream controller.
1: The control pad is where the left stick should be.
2: Having the face buttons be random shapes makes them annoying to memorize.

i'm more inclined to agree with professionals in the gaming industry than some random person on the internet.
Yeah PC gamers can be weird sometimes. My friend, who only plays PC, unless he's at my house, swears that driving with a keyboard is more fluid and precise than with a analogue stick. I promptly scoffed at his claim.Snotnarok said:I'd like just that controller bit for my PC, I brought this up and my friends didn't agree. Mouse control is nice but I like how nice it feels to move with a controller. Yes the aiming is the difficult bit sometimes but come on...a keyboard doesn't help in shooters, other games sure.captaincabbage said:As much as I hate to admit it (as a PS3 fanboy) you're totally right. It's the most ergonomic, easy controller I've ever used. If they replaced the triggers and shoulder buttons with the PS3 ones then I'd buy four of them. I'm already considering getting an Xbox controller knockoff for my PS3, just with PS3 motifs (triangle, Circle, X, Square, etc.).Souplex said:
EDIT!!! EDIT!!! I just remembered!! The perfect controller already exists!
Gaze in awe, fleshy mortals, at the Splitfish controller for PS3!!
I use a PC, but I remember console gaming throughout the 90s. Mostly I remember hand sweat & finger pain, therefore my perfect controller would have:
*Comfortable sweat-proof grips.
*Soft rubber buttons.

TBH, finding the singular 'one controller' is like finding the missing link, everyone claims it, but nobody will actually find it without spending a fucking decade in the patent labs of obscura. Also, internet!
The WiiU. It has the button combinations of a 3DS and motion Wii controls, it's also an Ipad. I don't know about the power cable, but I assume it's powered by Nintendo Gamma radiation.

Ahem.
The body of a PS2 controlled with the finger grips some Wildcatz controllers have, allows the smoothness of a normal controlled but a grip of a custom one,using the PS2 analog switcks with the Xbox button format,while using the R1/L1 format with Triggers. There would be 3 buttons,a Start, Select,and Freeze button,allowing one to totally freeze gameplay when it is essential they must leave but the game won't let them pause. On the cord would be an extender slow,where one could pull the cord apart and put in extensions, and likewise, the plugin would have Adapters for Consoles from NES to the PS3 so one could use this controller semi-perfectly for all consoles. The case would be removable and interchangable so if the case of a crack or a broken analog stick one could simply remove and replace.

The flat buttons on the Dualshock are just easier to use than the 360's face buttons. Not to mention the 360's D-pad.Raddra said:
I'd go for a Dualshock 3 (Ps3 controller). The Xbox triggers would be better than our current L2/R2, but I like shooting with R1 rather than shooting with triggers.
Kiru's idea of interchangeable components sounds good as well.
It entirely depends on the genre of the game.
FPS's are ideal for M+K (I'm not being a PC elitist here, I do have reasons for this) and RTS's, as well as top-down RPGs (Zelda excluded). 3rd-Person games are more suited to controllers (360 may be a better controller, but my PS3 controller works fine for me), especially 3rd-person shooters. I feel 2D platformers are more controller friendly as well.
Factor in the Metroid Prime games being ideal for the Wii and all the touchscreen games impossible to play on most systems (at least until the PSVita and WiiU come out) and you'll soon realize that there isn't ONE controller that can answer all this short of it changing its shape and input to suit the game at hand.
