Your Console controller Poll

[Arm73]

I use this baby for most emulated 2D games, included fighting and 2d shooters on the DC and GC:

For everything else I use a Dual shock, because of the nice buttons and decent d-pad and shoulder buttons, however games that require an analog stick(such as N64 or emulated driving games) I prefer the GC controller, because it's analog stick is vastly superior to ANY other hands down !
The DC controller just doesn't feel right anymore, it's not as ergonomic as the GC or PS2, and honestly. the analog stick is so crappy that it feels it's almost going to brake anytime when I use it.

I voted N64....thats right, the Trident controller =)

Actually, there was a 3rd party design of the 64 controller that mimic-ed the Dreamcast controller. Its a love hate relationship with my 64 controllers.

Dreamcast FTW

Dual shock are OK (analog sticks could be FAR better) but I hold my middle fingers and below under the controller which means after a session they ache something chronic. Still I guess there is something to be said for the fact it is my PC controller of choice.

Xbox, my one has the controller S pads but I liked the placement of the black and white button of the original model.

N64, I like weight in my controller (to the extent I have added some in the past) so with rumble pack this was a solid controller. The springs tendency to weaken and grind away knocks it back somewhat though.

The megadrive/genesis was the most recent thing I used where third party clones of official controllers (arcade pads not withstanding) would as good as the original.

Anyhow for best controller my vote is other:

@thegame07 you are looking at $120 minimum for that sort of stick:

Wavebird hands down. It's the perfect shape for my hands, it's pixel perfect analogue stick is in the exact right place for my thumb, and anyone who doesn't love those analogue triggers is broken.

In case you haven't caught my meaning yet, it's perfect.

PSOne (the old non-dual-shock ones). The elongated shoulder buttons on the PS2 ones get right in the way of where my finger want to sit.

The few times I've played Gamecube at a friends house I've found the controllers really uncomfortable. Maybe I'm just not used to analouge sticks.

That counts as a vote for the SNES controller, right?

 

[Psyfira]

I've never played on or even seen a SNES controller, but now you mention it there is a definite influence there

Omg you dont knwo what you missed with the snes controller. So you have not even played super mario on the snes

 

[Psyfira]

Nope, we had an Atari and none of my friends at the time had a SNES. I tried a few of the mario snes ports on the GBA but didn't like them much; the sprites are far too narrow and I just kept missing ledges when jumping. Yoshi's island however is a work of genius

I could not agree more.
SNES = Best console ever

Playstaion Dual Shock fine pieec of work. Wiimoste comes clsoe. I like gamecube's Donkey Conga Controller too!

 

[Relys]

I like the good ol' Playstation Dual Shock!

 

[lookout]

I love FPS Game and Xbox 360 controller it just perfect!

 

[Mewgia]

Either the 360s or the Gamecube's... I can't decide. The Wiimote and the Dual shock come close, though.
The worst I've used are the N64 and XBox controllers...The trident sucks major eggs just because it's in a trident shape, and the XBox's is really bulky with bad button placement.

 

[tshu]

Gamecube for me. I really like the Xbox Controller-S though too (but hate the huge one). I've actually never held an Xbox 360 Controller though.

 

[.TakaM]

someone voted ps3

 

[thomaspajamas]

It would have been 360 if it wasn't for its GOD AWFUL d-pad. Everything else about it is very nice but the d-pad makes my thumb want to secede from my body.

I hear you, I hate freaking d-pads like that. Especially in a game like THPS, I NEED to have a PS d-pad for that.

As for me Im really enjoying the wii-mote, I just wish more games knew how to make good use of it. I think Twilight Princess has come the closest thus far.
