What is your favorite controller?

[anthony87]

Keyboard and mouse for me, if that counts.

Also, am I the only person who actually liked the N64 controller? I think I might be.

Nope I'm the same. It reminded me of a space-fighter.....

I liked the controller for the Atari 7800.

Simpler times where all you needed was a stick and a button.

PS2, I have small hands and prefer smaller controllers. The 360 is still too fat and uncomfortable for me. Also I got use to the analog stick being in that position so my thumb muscles aren't use to the 360's.

I like the ps3 controller the best. I guess I'm used to it, with Playstation being my console since day 1.

The 360 controller is comfortable, but I like the feel of the PS3's more.

One example is shooters. On 360 you use the right trigger to shoot, on PS3 you use R1. I like R1 better.

I also like R2 for grenades (in CoD) better than the bumpers.

The Dualshock 3, currently. I prefer my thumbsticks to be adjacent to each other. And it fits in my hands nicely, since they're notoriously small.

Plus, it works quite well with the games I play (Mainly: Old Playstation games, so I generally use the D-Pad, which is quite sturdy.)

360 Controller at a close second. Despite the thumbsticks being so far away from each other, the whole thing is set up almost perfectly for a console first person shooter.

although tainted with the stench of Microsoft, both the original and the 360 Xbox controllers

Original Xbox controller, do you mean the Duke or S-controller?

le Duke.

The Ps3 controller, although if its a FPS then the 360 controller

The Xbox 360 controller, I'm very used to it...

But I think it's easier to snipe with a mouse and keyboard...

Yep, this. Ultimately mouse and keyboard is the most competitive control scheme for FPS games, but the 360 is soooo comfortable. And actually pulling a trigger is very cool.

I'd have to go with the Playstation controller - it hasn't changed since the PS1, and for good reason. Although I'm a little perplexed as to why Sony chose to include the marshmallow shoulder buttons, it's still the most practical and comfortable controller for me. Everything is within easy reach, and it fits nicely into the palm of my hands. Although the 360 controller is comfortable, I find the positioning of the joysticks awkward, and the size takes some getting use to.

The 6-button Genesis controller FTW. Only thing that beats it is the mouse&keyboard combo.

My exact words. Here is a cake for you, good sir, eat it you must.

Spoiler: Cake

 

[Blanks]

i've always been fond of the dualshock 2

 

[LogicNProportion]

While the PS3 is my least favorite system, I like it's controller the most.

It's really sensitive, which I love. I always put controller sensitivity when I play Halo or CoD to 7+ most of the time.

I love my MW2 controller for my xbox, the stock 360 controller has always served me well also.

I HATE the Playstation controller. Ever since the PSOne. Never liked it. I use it, I just don't like it.

My hands do not like the mouse + keyboard. It hurts.
