Out of everything, I say the Playstation controllers feel the most comfortable to me. I also liked the Dreamcast one, but it felt a little heavy at times compared to all the others. I guess that was just from how they set it up for the space of two VMUs.

good ones:

1. Xbox Controller S

2. Xbox 360

3. Nintendo 64

4. Gamecube

5. SNES

-------The sony pad needs to be improved. It isn't terrible, but those dang analog sticks need to be changed already.

I've only used the Xbox, PlayStation and N64, but definitely the Xbox. I can't stand the feeling of the PlayStation; the controller feels so small to me. The Xbox is pretty much the perfect fit. The S model, of course, not the Duke.

I like the xbox controller. The ps controllers are nice too but a lot of games don't utilize the trigger on the ps controllers like the xbox does.

Playstation paved the way to modern controllers. they perfected that design, so I'm going to say Playstation wins.

You're holding the controller wrong then, size 15 ring ringer and been using the controller since the ps1 era and my hands are fine. My favorite controller is the DreamCast, my most comfortable controller would have to be the gamcube.

The 360 now, but before this gen it was the gamecube controller. It may have looked weird compared to the others, but it was damn comfortable.

Lol you've got a problem with your hands then, i can play with it for many hours without feeling any pain :? And the worst controller was the N64 so big and weird... The NES controllers also rules.

Definitely Playstation for me.
Next would be Sega Genesis and then SNES. Xbox and Gamecube feel soooo awkward for me.

My favorite controller has to be the MadCatz MicroCon that was out for the Xbox. Most comfortable controller I ever had. Other than that I would say the PS controller.

Honestly, I don't understand how so many people think that the PlayStation controller is comfortable. It's so tiny and strange. I can't stand it.

The Satun controller is my favourite. I also love the Mega Drive and PC-Engine DUO/FX controllers.

To those listing the playstation controllers, you guys really think the analog sticks are superior to the xbox/360 controllers? The one complaint I've had with sony, from day one, were those wretched sticks.

que? Wretched sticks? I love them, ever since the ps1 launch, I have huge hands and it fits perfectly, works flawless and I never broke a single stick. I still have my Playstation 1 controllers from 15 years ago and those sticks work like new.

its not about breaking its about turning loose. slight looseness will effect a fraction of gameplay

Oh, I'm not doubting the quality of Sonys pad, I as well still have working psx dualshocks. My problem is just the way they work for certain games--fps games especially--there is far to much give, imo.

The Gamecube controller, as it feels the most natural to me.

The Xbox S-controller is good as well, but I've always loathed the Dual-Shock. The left analog stick just seems to be in a very awkward position, and even playing a simple racing game will cause my hand to hurt eventually. Out of the older controllers, the N64 controller is terrible due to its horrid analog stick and cheap plastic design. I've only played with the Dreamcast controller once, but it was fine for as far as I can remember.

I'd go with the Duelshock, mostly because I've used it much more than any other controller.

Its between the Gamecube and Saturn controllers for me, pretty much depending on whether the game I'm playing is 3D or 2D

I also dislike the Dualshock controllers, bad positioned left stick, inaccurate, weighted wrongly, split d-pad that takes the skin off my thumb when I try to do quarter turns, bad shaped protruding side buttons. With the Dualshock you can really tell that the design is based on adding new features to an already created controller, as opposed to the others which were designed from the ground up to incorporate analogue sticks in the first place.

The playstation controller is by far,my favorite.The xbox controller is well designed as well,but it felt how should I say,a little bulky at times while playing for extensive periods of time.

PS3 controller is my favourite. It's the same design as the PS2 controller for the most part but it's got more weight to it than the PS2 did and that helps. It feels like there's something more than air in my hands and I'm not likely to crush it.

I can play my PS3 for hours and not get sore. It's been that way sinse the PS1 and the controller hasn't changed much sinse then. If your hands hurt maybe you just need better hands? :P

At launch the PS1 didnt have sticks. At least not in America. Analog sticks didnt show up until 1997.

Playstation, definitely, its one of the best designs of anything ever. Have used the 360 one quite a bit and it just doesn't feel as good in my hands (that's what she said)
