Mad-Mike 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 539	For me, it depends upon the game I'm Playing, and the Console, I have no one favorite, but if I had to pick best all-arounder Atari 2600 - "The BOSS" Joystick that I've been told was a Commodore 64 Item, it's a grey and black pistol grip job with a white button on the top of the handle. I had one that I found in electronics class in high school, and made my own bottom section for out of wood and duc-tape using a router and a bandsaw, and re-wired it to an Atari 2600 joystick (yes, I know how to make my own Atari 2600 controllers). NES - Nes Advantage or the original Control Pads in general, I usually prefer the Advantage for games like Dragon Warrior, mostly because I set up the Turbo to speed through menus and stuff during boring parts of the game, or if I'm replaying a part that did not get saved. I prefer the control pad for side scrollers, I've never used the "dogbone" controller. I also like the look of the original grey Zapper Better. For Playstation I have a beat up old analog control pad I picked up at a thrift store for $1. That's been my favorite since I got it. Everything else I use the stock controller on, especially the SNES, there's never been a better controller than the SNES joypad. Anyone here ever had a SPECIFIC one out of a lot of controllers that were technically the same that they picked. I remember a time when I could identify my NES control pads by the scratches on them, and I had a particularly beat up and scratched to hell NES pad that I prefered to use because it seemed a little more responsive and comfortable to me than the others for some reason.

Predaking 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 920	My favorite controller is the Xbox S controller. Every other controller I've used makes my fingers sore after awhile and there are times where I'd miss the buttons. But the S controller feels natural, doesn't get my fingers sore and I realized after awhile that the button layout is very ergonamically placed. Basicly it's the most comfortable controller I've ever used, so much so that I didn't even realize it until I switched controllers.

The S pad has one huge critical flaw in its ergonomics: the placement of the Black and White buttons. The 360 pad replaces them with two easy-to-reach shoulder buttons, making it far superior.

The 360 control feels natural and for some reason I prefer it to all others I have encountered

GrimmTrixX 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 139	Hate me all you want, but the fat boy xbox controller is my current favorite controller. I know most people in the world despise it, and hell, even Microsoft does because they revamped it to the controller S, but I just hate the S. My ideal controller would have 6 buttons in same style as sega genesis, 4 triggers like PS2, and dual clickable analogs. The fat boy is the closest since it has 6 face buttons but 2 triggers (and yes i know N64 had that also but they were shoulder buttons not triggers, unless you count Z). I like the fat boy controllers cuz I loved Dreamcast controllers and they are close in style just with only 4 face buttons. But my idela controller would be as i mentioned before, I don't know why they didnt do that with 360, people can easily handle 2 more buttons and it'd be very helpful.

Blue Blur 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 359	My favorite hands down is the PSOne/PS2 controller. It fits fine in my hands and has just the right amount of buttons for anything, really. That transfers over to the game pad I recently got for the PC which is the same design minus the analog sticks (which I don't need for the comp anyway). The style pretty much matches the NES, SNES, and GBA perfectly for my ROMs and is flawless for my PC version of FFVII. So until I get my hands on a Wiimote and see how that handles, PS is the top.

Thinking about it I would have to agree, the black and white buttons did take some getting used to and I would prefer them as shoulder buttons. Alas, I do not currently own a 360 and haven't had to much time behind its controller except with demos at stores so I wouldn't know from experience.

sizz_leteen 8 years 5 months ago Posts: 596	I always liked the NES controller...nice and simple. I play on my cousin's XBox, and there are like 17 buttons. The transparent blue PSone/PS2 controller is nice, too...cause I like transparent, blue things.

bat0h0lic 8 years 5 months ago Posts: 240	flamepanther wrote: Out of all currently available controllers, there's only one I like even better than the SNES controller: The small style Sega Saturn controller. Sleek, stylish design. Fits the hands nicely. Six action buttons on the face (perfect for Capcom-style fighting games) and two shoulder buttons. Extremely responsive. Features probably the best, most comfortable D-pad ever made. Microsoft, pay attention. You actually CAN place six buttons on the face within easy reach of the thumbs! I use that for all my fighters. I wouldn't use any other, except maybe a joystick.
