The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks.

Dualshock comes a close 2nd but was never a fan of the analog layout.

I find the n64 most jarring and I get that it was meant to be used differently for different games, but I still preferred the 3rd party options that took it closer to a standard gamepad.

Your thoughts?

    My description of the perfect controller:

    • nice size and hand fit
    • left joystick is “up” at a natural spot (sorry PS enthusiasts, those low sticks suck)
    • buttons are “chicklet” style (Xbox round buttons feel awkward)
    • one set of trigger buttons are “throttle” style
    • sits on a flat surface without any buttons being pressed

    Not sure if there’s one out there that meets all of those. But I have a certain fondness for the GameCube controller. Always felt comfortable, and I actually liked the asymmetric button layout.
