Favorite Game Controller

In terms of comfort, the PS4 controller is my favorite. With the GameCube controller at a super close second.

DualShock for me

The Saturn model 2 gamepad.

GameCube.

360.

For me it's the PS4, it trumphs the 360

For 3D games: Xbox 360 with the Xbox One as a close second

For 2D games: PS4 (I love it's d-pad)

Of the list, the 360. But the old Xbox's Controller-S was pretty damned comfortable too.

X360 was until the X1 was born. :)

Yeah same... X1 is easily the most comfortable for me.

Honourable mention to the Gamecube controller too.

Dreamcast controller fit (well, fitS, since I still play it from time to time) my hands like a GLOVE. Too bad the d-pad is mushy and the analog so utterly "meh". DS4 has been the best combination of comfort and utility for me

Wii U Pro controller. It's light, comfy, has superior battery life.

Wii U Pro>Xbox One>PS4>Wii remote>360>PS3>Wii U tablet

Wii U tablet would be at the top of the list if it wasn't so heavy with such poor battery life.

The Xbox One is my all-time favourite controller. I love the weight and feel of it, it's contoured very nicely. The asymetrical layout of the analog sticks feels very natural to me.

360 controller by a mile, the thumb stick placement is the main factor that makes it so natural to use. It might change my mind to X1 controller but havnt used one for an extended period of time yet.

• Sega Saturn Model 2 Controller
• Gamecube
• 360 controller
• Wii U Pro Controller

These are my favorites. I haven't played much of the Xbone and PS4 controllers yet.

The cube controller for me. Surprised to see so many people saying that. It should be in the poll over the pre-PS4 controller. No one will pick that as a fave.

XB1

SNES

Gamecube for me, i havnt used Wii U Pro Controller yet, so cant speak on it, but i plan on buying a White One.

Wired 360 controller. Maybe Xbox one will change that.

In terms of pure comfort, it's the gamecube pad though.

Xbox One controller, it's a nice improvement over what was the best controller.

Doubt anyone will say the original xbox. That thing was hell on my tiny hands.

1 PS4 controller 2 xbox 360 controller 3 DUALSHOCK controller 4 dreamcast controller

I didn't think the original fat one was all that bad... the slimmer one was definitely better but yeah, I still used the old one too. My hands are quite big so that's probably why it didn't bother me.

DS4 is my favorite. GameCube my least favorite.

360 and PS4 controller are both awesome, but overall I'd have to say PS4.

I agree I loved the 360 controller but the XB1 controller is even better in my eyes.

I'll have to go with the original 3 duoshock controllers, i like them way more as that last piece of *cough* and the Xbox controllers are a bit to big for my taste

even that i'm more of a Sony-guy when it comes to consoles, i have to say that i like X360/X1 controllers more. using X360 controller for PC games that i play with gamepad.

Sony's controllers are ultimately very similiar, so there's no game-changing differences though.

YAY! I am not the only one!

Everyone says xbox controllers. But i don't have one so i just use my ps4 controller:D

GameVice :)

I'm liking the XB1 controller on my PC. Find it better in my hands than the 360 one. Really looking forward to the wireless adapter coming this year for it as well.

xb1 controller is a beauty, fits my hands like a fucking glove.

For playing an all nighter session of videogames. The Xbox 360 controller is the best.

The most comfortable controller for me is the 360 controller. I have large sized hands and I've never been uncomfortable using the controller. The trigger buttons are very ergonomic, more so than the PS2 or PS3's, and the sticks placed further apart giving my thumbs no chance to collide like the Playstation's while the buttons are rounded and take less to press unlike the flat buttons.

Just a superb controller for people with bigger hands. Most people have average sized hands, so I can understand why it's not everyone's favorite.

It's a good controller, i prefer the PS4 one though

Xbone, the 360's d-pad is almost unusable which is unacceptable for those of us who love to use it for 2d action/platformers and fighters.

I loved the size of the original Xbox controller. It fit so perfectly in my hands and was the first thing that made me interested in getting a Xbox. When I first held it at the store, I was like "Finally, someone made a controller for people with big hands!". The button layout was terrible though, so I prefer the later Xbox controllers since they fixed the button layout.

Yeah the button layout was definitely pretty bad... but it was comfy I thought.

XB1 > 360 = Gamecube > DS4 > DS3 = DS1 > Original XBOX > Wii U Tablet > Wii-Mote + Nunchuck

Wii U Pro hands down.

psx,ps2,ps3 these are the best controllers. Small size and responsive accurate d-pad. xbox is alright for shooters but its size and d-pad is just terrible.

That's a complex question because it depends on the type of game. Overall the 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4 controllers all feel pretty comparable but the 360 controller is most natural to me because it's what I've used for all PC games I play with controller (native support).

For "arcade sticks" the original SFIV Tournament Edition stick (not counting the custom stick I built for my arcade machine, which is my real favorite). It uses an octagonal gate which I'm not big on but it's grown on me.

Driving - My Logitech G27 Force Feedback wheel with sequential shifter and clutch pedal.

HOTAS - My Saitek X52 Pro. I know it's not the highest quality flightstick but it's the best one I've ever used.

Joystick - Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2. Solid base and great force feedback.

Coolest controller? Toss up between the Gravis Phoenix:

If I remember, it was a 24 button programmable joystick (which was pretty uncommon back then). The left hand portion is a throttle that slides in and out and you can twist the end of it for an additional X axis. I used to play Mechwarrior with this and I used the left X axis for torso rotation. This was my "Steel Battalion" before SB was a thing.

The other is the Logitech Cyberman 2:

This was so freakin' kewl. It looked like a hockey puck attached to a lima bean, but it was a true 3D controller. The hockey puck on the right was the joystick and it could be moved in pretty much any direction. Every axis worked. You could shove it forward, back, left and right. Tilt it forward, back left and right. Twist it clockwise or counterclockwise or pull it straight up or push it straight down. For games like Descent and Forsaken, this was the ultimate controller because it let you move/twist/turn in any direction in 3D space. Imagine the standard "strafe left or right and fire while tracking your target" tactic you use in almost every FPS title ever, but doing that in -any- direction in 3D. There were a few other 3D controllers out at the time that technically did the same thing, but this one was much more accurate and was just intuative to control.

Quality was pretty low, though. The puck would break after a lot of use. I went through like three of them.

PS4 and 360 controller.

I think the Xbox One controller is probably my favorite.

This.

Damn, really? I hated that thing
