[General Discussion] Best gaming controllers?

The SNES controller is the greatest controller ever made, sorry.



So comfortable to hold, pleasing on the eyes, wonderful button placement, wonderful dpad.

Second favourite is the Saturn controller, of which I use a USB version on my computer.




For analogue controllers, I like the 360 pad, but the dpad is kinda poor.



Jam it back in, in the dark.

I like the N64 controller too. The analogue stick is still good for me, but then I never wore mine out by bashing away at Mario Party.

Considering how little I hear complaints about how bad the Dual Shock sticks (still) are, the N64 controller gets way too much unfair bashing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The shoulder buttons have always worked well for me. The placement is good, and they are just the right depth. Compare them to, say, the PSP shoulder buttons, which are quite awful, rickety, clicky things.

I've destroyed one SNES controller in my life time, and I've owned a SNES for about 19 years now. My first (extra) controller had its Y button worn out, mostly because practically every SNES game I played used the Y for running or shooting, so I was always using it.

It got to the point where it no longer moved down and was just kinda there, as if the plastic of the button was there, but there was no connector under it left to register a button press, much less spring the button back up a bit. I kept using it (by pressing the Y a little bit harder) until the B button no longer worked, making it impossible for me to play Stunt Race FX. It was a sad day.

Mind you, it wasn't an official controller, it was shaped just like it, but it had turbo and autofire switches as well. Auto-switched X in Super Probotector/Contra III for dual speed machinegun barrage erryday.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't like moving back and forth between two rows of shoulder buttons, and it's impossible for me to hold the controller with both index and middle fingers resting on the shoulder buttons. I mean, I can do it, but it's uncomfortable as fuck, and you need those middle fingers to better hold the controller.

I personally enjoy the wired GC controller over the wavebird. It's a lighter and less bulky. dpad was too tiny for anything other than visor selection in Metroid Prime.

And Gamecube has a LOT of excellent games, getdafuckouttahere. Unless you were a fag who bought all multiplatforms for the PS2 and its noodle sticks. And didn't play any Sega made exclusives.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
