Whats Your Favourite Controller Of All Time?

Whats your favourite gaming controller of all time on any console? (3rd Party Controllers Included)

For me it would have to be the original Gamecube controller. It shapes to my hands really well is great for long gaming sessions.

I think the PS3's Six-axis Dualshock 3 needs a serious re-design. It's pretty much the same controller I was using 13 years ago on the PS1. I love Playstation consoles/games, but the controller is anything but perfect. Sony should seriously consider changing the shape for the PS4 or make a new controller for the PS3.

This perfect wonder:

Every controller since took inpiration from it.

I don't like the GC controller too much myself, it looks great design-wise, but the D pad is a joke and the Z button is just poor.

You know, its surprising how light that gamepad feels in comparison to today's modern controllers.

My favourite would have to be the Dualshock 3 due to its button layout and how comforatable it is for my small child hands.

Dualshock. Doesn't matter which iteration (PS3 has better sticks of course)

Indeed. Both Sony and Nintendo should take some notes. =P

Playstation analog controller. It's the most comfortable for me.

But it already has been out. You're referring to the classic controller.

Pretty much any Dualshock... though the Dualshock 3 is probably the best because of the bluetooth wireless and the triggers.

I would actually say the Xbox 360 controller except Microsoft still hasn't figured out how to make a D-pad.

I like the dualshock 3 and xbox 360 controller.

I don't have a favorite. My hands can adapt to any controller very well, and after a litttle while I can feel comfortable with any controller.

I really like the PS3 Sixaxis controller. It feels sturdy, has a good weight. (I don't like a controller being extremely light or extremely heavy.) It also feels great in your hands and the 2 analog sticks feel natural.

The Sega Dreamcast controller was pro

The 360 one. It could use a better dpad, but everything else is gold. The sticks are shaped right, the right length, and have the perfect amount of tension. The triggers are shaped well and have a good spring to them, making them very satisfying to use for racing games (the Dual Shock 3 could take some lessons from it). And the overall shape is perfect for my hands - the prongs are big enough to be comfortable but not too big to make the whole thing hard to handle.DJ_Lae

I only hate the D-Pad while playing that Street Fighter 2 demo (AHHH! MY THUMB!) but besides that, 360's perfect.gunswordfist

mine is the gcn wavebird. it fit perfectly in my hands. the face button were placed and sixed perfectly, allowing me to easily hit multiple buttons at once (great in metroid prime). the left joystick is pretty much perfect. it has a great thumbgrip and offers just enough resistance. i realise it may not be the best for fps's, but it was built solely for nintendo games (like nintendo tends to do with its controllers) and handles those just right.

XBox 360

simple, yet stylish looks, and incredibly comfortable.

I will always love the Playstation controller. The SNES one wasn't too bad either.

PS3 control needs new analoge sticks and needs one of said sticks to be moved where the D-pad currently resides. And i agree with you on the gamecube controls even in the L and R buttons are somewhat annoying to press.

PlayStation controller. Stands the test of time, and the Xbox 360 controller is right up there.

I agree completely.

Xbox 360 controller for me. Luckily, I don't play many games that need the D-pad.JML897

There's my favorite control setup, by Razer. I can program all the mouse buttons to emulate a keystroke or what have you. In retrospect, it was probably a waste of money, since all I play on PC is the occasional strategy title.

As far as controllers, I guess I like the 360 controller. The only other controller I've really used is the one with the original Xbox, and I think the 360 one is better.

I have that mouse!

It's a good mouse. God knows I need a $70 gaming mouse to play Total War, Europa Universalis, and Neverwinter Nights. :) Really though, it's responsive over a wide array of surfaces, and I like those two extra buttons by the scroll wheel. I set mine to copy and paste, as I find myself doing that quite a bit in my daily business.
