your favorite controler ever

i do think that the best controler is Dual shock 2, i could have say the n64 one but its analog was not really enjoyable when your hand get sweaty and the plus was terrible...
for PS2 i don' t like the analog that much because it' s hard to make precision but overall grade is very good... also the rumble built-in is quiet good and the plus is good as well... it' s very solid too

OF ALL TIME = Japanese Saturn controller, nuff said

THIS GENERATION = Nintendo Wave Bird

MOST HATED CONTROLLER = Dual Shock 2.

oh come on terry come on !! i just noticed that you always push too much , what would you say about teh first and second x box controler?? ok just the first at least ?? hun?? or just the first playstation controler ..

i can tell that they are two.

for the best 3d control that´s the n64 controler, as long as it´s a new, because it breaks after some time.

and for the best battle control it´s the saturn controler.

for 2d games, they are all good, because it´s easy to control a 2d game.

No matter how much i love the xbox controll over the ps2 in fps games and racing games,i say the dual shock,...cause its so good overall in every genre.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

My favorite controller is the Dreamcast controller, loved the trigger buttons, and the vmu.

Best controller = Saturn (US second generation, didn' t have all of the retarded multi-colored buttons like the Japanese one did, which was otherwise identical).
Runner up = Sega Genesis 6-button controller. Had the identical buttons and D-pad of the of the Japanese Saturn controller, was very comfortable and small, but lacked the shoulder buttons.

Worst controller = Sega Dreamcast. Worst piece of crap ever.
Runner up = PS2 dual shock. The thing is pure crap on a stick.

Best ever: XBox 360 controller
Runner Up: original xbox controller

Best 2D controller: Sega Genesis 6 button

Worst Ever: regular game cube, it hurts my hand just thinking about holding it
Runner Up: PS2 dual shock, consoles get better, controllers should too.

PS3 looks like it will steal the worst controller ever award, but I haven' t used it yet so I don' t know for sure.

The 360 pad is so comfy. I haven' t been able to use it for more than 10 minutes at a time yet but it seems to have no high pressure points anywhere. Other controllers always seem to have spots that put a lot of pressure on your hand, it just seems like this doesn' t. My hands will never get sore!

Totally agree with Joe' s list. As much as I adore Sega I absolutely hated the Dreamcast controller for a number of reasons, the only reason I ranked the Dual Shock 2 worst is because of the D-pad. I' m a d-pad man and the Dual Shock 2 has by far the worst one of them all.

Don' t really care much for the Xbox controller, don' t really like the button placement, especially the two on the bottom right, I always forget that they' re even there while playing a game. They' re like on a different continent away from the other buttons! The analog sticks and triggers feel nice, but overall I' m not a fan of the controller... As for the original PlayStation' s controller, well given that I like the Dual Shock 2 more than that one, and given how much I hate the Dual Shock 2, I think you can imagine how I feel about the first controller . I' ve only found ONE game, ONE game that I felt was quite playable with the Dual Shock 2 and that game was Virtua Fighter 2.

" Duke" Xbox Controller.

Who cares about people with small hands?

Mmm it must be logitechs wireless controller for xbox.

I cant stand the Dual Shock controller, that those analog sticks just twist my thumbs into highly painful and arkward positions *OUCH*

before that, i was a pc gamer, so my PS2 was my first console... ever.

i really don´t find that the xbox controler is one of the best controlers.
i think that it´s a bad one (it´s just my point of view)

but i wanna add something important about controlers, that most (not all of them) controlers now are just remakes of nintendo´s controlers .

i sure hate nintendo´s strategie. but, we mustn´t forget that we get a new plaisir playing their games with a new concept of controler all over the time and for each console :

plus direction (Nintendo)

R and L button (Super Nintendo)

analog and the rumble (N64)

wave bird (Game cube)

and the new controler with the revolution (i hate it by the first look but after i saw the video i changed my opinion)

i think the others (Sony, Microsoft and sega) they can´t created new concept.

Sakr nintendo didn' t invent all of those features. Analog sticks are soooooo sooooo old, and they had third party wireless controllers for the first nintendo. Rumble wasn' t invented by nintendo, in fact they have to pay another company to use rumble.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

we ( I ) know all those features just with nintendo´s controlers. and nintendo
was the first to integer them to their joystick taking the risk, that other companies don´t. that important is who introduce the technik to gamers first.

ps : nintendo is popular with their gameplay, and that not only thanks games but due to their controlers too.

The new 360 pad is really sexy looking and it fits in your hand really well. I' m looking foward to spending more time with it :)

I really liked the Saturn Nights pad and thus felt right at home with the Dreamcast pad. The PS2 pad I *still* can' t really get along with. I can use it but don' t like it. Going back tot he Megadrive pads now makes me realise they weren' t too good.
