what's your fav type of controller?

mine is and has been the standerd console controller.never really liked using mouse and keyboard to play games.portable consoles controls are good but there aren't many buttons to press on stuff like the DS or GBA.

i like the 360 controller. i know it is a dreamcast ripoff, but it feels so right in your hands. it fits perfectly. if i had to choose another one i would pick SNESbucknut85

I agree. I like that the left analog stick is at the top left other than the bottom left (like the PlayStation). I also like the triggers becuase they make shooting and racing feel more easy and realistic.

the 360 controller is the best controller. It feels like an extension of your hand.

ps3's controller doesn't use sixaxis well, and it is not a good price to pay for good ol' rumble.

wii controller gets boring after a while/

my favourite is the gamecube, everything just fits perfect and the buttonsare easy to get to

i hate the ps2 controler the left joystick is so wrong

tried the xbox and the ps2 controllers..

found the ps2 one to be a bit better.

the 360 controller is my fave next would be the gamecube it just feels so comfortable

and the worst is the Ps2 controller it just feels odd mostly the trigger buttons it just feel like ur pressing regular buttons

Mouse and keyboard no question. Joystick would come second, PS3 & 360 controller third and the Wii last ('course Metroid could change all that!)

definitely the 360 controler, it is sooo comfortable, analogs just the right place, I'd choose it over the PS controller any day.

Xbox360 controller is comfortable, and I agree, the analog stick is perfect and it has a good hearty rumble. An improvement could be pressure sensitive buttons like Dualshock, not just the triggers.Marfoo

I'm fairly certain it does have pressure sensitive controls, even the triggers. In The Darkness the hammer of your revolver only goes back slightly if you pull the triggers slightly.

I'm fairly certain as well. I build robots as a hobby, I remember a post on a robotics forum where someone was trying to wire a 360 controller to use as a robot controller, but was having trouble with the analog buttons.

Just tried a few games, can call it confirmed :P. All the buttons are pressure sensitive except the bumpers and the analog buttons.
