What’s your favorite game controller?

[GageTheWeeb]

Game controllers are the heart of any game console. Every gamer should at least have a favorite! Comment your favorite controller and why!

Quickshot or Competition Pro.

Quickshot or Competition Pro.

Quickshot II was way better than the Competition Pro

Amen to that...

Proper microswitches!

You know... That you could "feel"

SNES is may fav controller, the Ascii Pad in particular. Been using that since like 1993.

The wooden box 2-6 buttons joystick I made when we used to make Sensible Soccer tournaments in the early 90s is still my favorite controller.

Hello.

The original ATARI Joystick was my entry in Gaming.Still one of the best.Followed (because its a little "handier") by the Atari XL Joystick (Pro Line ?).The Atari ipaddles are irreplaceable for games like ARKANOID or KABOOM.These are my all time favorites with this i´ve learned "playing".

The GameCube controller

Id say Xbox 360 but the Xbox One Elite trumps it imo

Man that’s not an easy question to answer when you’ve been around as long as me different generations have different favourites.

There was the original Atari stick, the Competition Pro II, the SNES pad, DualShock, Xbox S, WII U (I find it incredibly comfortable to hold and it’s got a screen so I play when the wife’s watching telly) and now, probably the Xbox Elite.

But I find it hard to pick favourites, most are well designed for their systems. I can tell you what I don’t like. The sodding WiiMote, hate, hate, hate motion controls.

360 controller.
Second is the cube.

I would say the DualShock4. I might be a Sony fanboy anymore, but the DS4 just feels so good. Drawback is that its pretty bad in terms of long term durability.

Xbox 360 controller

 

[Technicmaster0]

Wii U pro for everything that uses digital triggers
Xbox one S for everything else
But that might change soon

GameCube.. Just always found it ergonomic and I have big potato masher hands. Also never had to look at the button layout. Only complaint is the small d-pad.

 

[VinsCool]

Gamecube controller remains my number 1, but the Xbox One S controller is great too.

For a long time, the Game Cube controller was my favourite of the modern controllers. The SNES is my favourite controller when it comes to anything that doesn't require an analogue stick.

But I've started to really fancy the Xbox One controller. I like it a lot and use it for all my PC gaming (including emulators). There is only one thing I don't like about it, and it's the ultra clicky D-pad. If it felt more like any oter D-pad it would be unbeatable

Of the ones I've used, it has to be the Switch Pro Controller. I've heard the Xbox One controller is really good though.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I love the Wii remote with the nunchuk

Wiimote + Nunchuck is still one of the most comfortable controllers ever made. It could use a couple more buttons and another stick though.

Xbox One controller.
