I find for first person/third person/action games the Original Xbox/Xbox 360/Xbox One controller layout with it's asymmetrical joysticks is the ducks nuts.
But for the life of me... I can't stand to use it for 2D/Platformers/Fighters that rely on the D-Pad, much prefer Dual-Shock or a SNES controller, not sure if it's Microsoft's D-Pad itself or the placement.
