I like the PS4's triggers, bumpers, and face buttons better, but I like the One's sticks and D Pad much more.

Shape I don't really lean any way, but the One is like the 360's, my favorite controller ever.

This should be.

How much better is the Xbone controller.

The PS4 controller is an upgrade on the DS3 that's about the only credit it can be given.

wich is why the xbox copied sony and put a headphone jack in their controller. Does xbox have touchpad. And why are the dpad buttons connected to eachother instead of being individual.

Xbox controllers are much better than PS4 controllers imo. They just feel better in the hands and in terms of build quality. I liked the Dualshock 1-3 a lot, but I cant stand the DS4.

They are both good controllers.

I don't like changing the batteries, the wonky bumpers (360 ftw), and crappy dpad (very obvious when playing 2D indies/fighters) on the Xbone controller.

I don't like the lower battery life of the DS4 in comparison to the DS3 (I understand why but it doesn't mean I like it), but I did employ some remedies with the settings.

Ultimately though, both controllers are a godsend for a gamer like me who grew up with Atari, Intellivision and later NES non-ergonomic controllers.

Overall, probably the XB1 controller.

I prefer the offset sticks and overall feel of the controller. The bumper placement sucks though.

The Xbox controller by far. The Xbox controller is more comfortable to hold, has better analog sticks both in terms of build quality and position, has better triggers, has better battery life, and doesn't have an annoying light that you can't turn off.

The PS4 controller is definitely a big improvement over the crappy PS3 controller, but compared to Xbox controllers, it is still very inferior. The only advantage the PS4 controller has over the Xbox controller is a better d-pad.

Unlike last generation, they are both are solid controllers. They are both are great and completely up to personal preference.

Cue, fanboyism comments

I have ps4 and xbox one. I prefer the xbox one controller enough that I will buy multiplat games for the one even if they look better on the ps4. I'm trying to go back and play the uncharted collection right now and I cannot stand the sticks on the playstation 4 controller. They are better than the ps3 but the placement still feels off despite playing on ps2/3 all these years. Also the batteries die super fast on ps4. I guess the one doesn't have rechargeable batteries but I have this nyko thing that charges 2 batteries and they last a long time.

I agree with your points, but why do you think the analog sticks have better placement being offset?

That's a good point. I never really gave it much thought before, but our right thumb probably spends more time with the face buttons than right stick, and that makes things more even.

@Bigboi500: plus for me it's easier and faster to move my finger down to reach the dpad than it is to reach up.

@Bigboi500:

Because when I grip a Xbox controller, my thumb naturally rests over the left analog stick and this is ideal because for the majority of games, I have to keep my thumb on the left analog stick 95% of the time and only occasionally do I have to reach out to the d-pad for a second, so for the majority of the game, my thumb is in it's natural, neutral position.

When I grip a PS4 controller, however, my thumb naturally rests over the d-pad, but since I need to use the left analog stick 95% of the time, this means that I have to stretch my thumb away from its natural resting position and keep it like that for most of the game which is awkward and leads to fatigue and sometimes cramping during long gaming sessions.

Haven't tried Xbone's, but the PS4 one kind of sucks. Better than their previous controllers, which were really horrible, but still kind of sucks. Xbone's should be very similar to 360's, which was OK, so my vote goes to that.

Xbox 360 controller minus the shitty d-pad.

But otherwise I never really had an issue with any gamepad since gen 6. I thought all those controllers were perfectly fine....ah well there was that big ass xbox controller, but the S fixed that sort of.

I discovered a beautiful thing called rechargeable batteries in 2005 and since then I've had no problems in taking two seconds to replace the batteries that last 30+ hours. If anyone honestly thinks the PS4 eight hour battery life is better than that then you are a deluded fanboy.

The Xbox One controller would be perfect if the bumpers weren't a deal breaker and if they didn't fill in that contour at the top. As it stands right now, it is merely very good, and a step down from Xbox 360.

It is a better controller than DualShock 4- I guess I am just too used to DS4 now, which is why I have trouble adjusting to the Xbox One controller.
