What is your favorite controller?

[Manji187]

GC....or 360. Absolutely hated the N64 controller.

PS3, by far. It's light, feel small in your hands and feels like you have control.
360 controllers just feel big in my hands, even though my hands are reasonably big themselves.
PS3 all the way.

The Xbox 360 is the best controller, IMO. It fits to the hands, and the thumbsticks and triggers feel much better than any other.

The PS3 controller is an improvement on he PS2 design, but the controller still feels too flat, and the L2 and R2 still suck, as do the thumbsticks.

The PS3 controller is not an improvement on the PS2 (which is the best controller of all time IMO). PS3's L2 and R2 buttons should never have been altered. The thumbsticks are quite comfortable though. Aside from that though the PS3 design is pretty solid.

The 360 controller is a vast improvement on the original XBox design (fish in a barrel) but has issue with it's d-pad (Imprecise and too far away for the thumb too effectively reach. I still use D-Pads quite often for any console game that requires precision). I hate the thumbstick placement as the left one tends to get in the way (the PS3's placement makes more sense to me). The triggers are better on the 360 by a mile though.

I disike the potential for my thumbs to touch each other on the PS3 controller, and the D-pad seems like its never used for movement anymore, but rather as 8 extra buttons

I like the 360 controller but Gamecube and Ps2 controllers are also nice.
I never really got used to how the buttons were on the Wii controller.

I prefer my Game cube controller out of all my consoles even though my PS2 is my favorite console ever. I would say the PS2, but the analog sticks are loose as hell.

So what about you guys? It can be controllers for any console,from old school to next gen,or for some obscure consoles.

if i couldnt read i'd say Keyboard+mouse...
but the X360, with the xbox(not the biggas s one, but the small size'd) & gamecube shareing the 2th place

 

[McPhale]

360 controller for me.

 

[Bobbovski]

Keyboard/mouse

 

[gorfias]

Sorry to be dull, but the 360 controller is the best I've ever held, and I've been playing since Pong back in the 70s.

 

[House_Vet]

360 and PS3 controllers are both really nice IMO.

 

[Scikosomatic]

XBOX 1 controllers...the big ones mwahaha

...im being serious

 

[Xeros]

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 loved that thing. I actually might says that's my favorite... just look at it, coolest controller design ever.

 

[SwitchUK]

Super Nintendo. 4 buttons which only perform 2 tasks. And they even rounded the edges stop your hands from falling off.

Though that said. I still prefer a good gaming mouse and keyboard set. I always go for Razer!

 

[Plurralbles]

Keyboard/mouse, PS2, NES, SNES

and I consider the PC to be in the same league as consoles in this discussion, dangit!

 

[Soren91]

My Wavebird Gamecube controller used to be my favorite but it's too small for my hands now to be comfortable. I'm used to my Xbox 360 controller now, it's perfect for me. I can't say I like the PS3 controller that much because I feel like I'm going to break the thing.

Xbox 360 controller yay

 

[Banana Pancake]

Xbox 360 and Gamcube were that best controllers in my opinion.
I think it's because I like the bulk of the controller and the
position of the button/sticks.

 

[achilleas.k]

BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry I couldn't resist.

AAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHA DAMNIT! My inhibitions are dead!

OK, seriously now (we've gotten the worst controllers out of the way)... Keyboard and mouse for me and my lovely Thrustmaster Top Gun Force Feedback for space sims. If we're talking conventional, console controllers, I'll vote N64 and X360, even though I had limited experience with the 360 controller. GameCube was pretty great too.

But seriously, the Dualshock family is functional and ergonomic. Why do you think three generations of PlayStation used the same design?

Because Sony can't do shit properly. Seriously, I'm not bashing any generation PS console here. I respect all three of them even though I never owned one but Sony is a reaaaaaally overrated company. They can't do anything innovative besides pump stats into their products. And besides the PlayStations, all other Sony products are crap. My guess is the PS controller was designed by the last person with a good idea to work at Sony and when he died they stuck with it. It works, it's OK, but the competing controllers feel more natural.

 

[XIGBARx13]

Definitely the Xbox 360 and Gamecube controllers. As many people already stated above, they both feel much more natural than any other controller. The N64 controllers were also good.
