Controller is about opinon, anyway I acutally like the DS3 saying that the DS4 is superb an improvment in every way it's quite a feat that Sony pulled it off. 

 One of my favorite controllers of all time is the amazing ZIP Stick used on my Amiga, faultless in it's time. 

What's that? A cheap copy of the godlike Competition Pro? The haven't even got the buttons right ;)

No love for the steam box controller?

I've had a few hands on with DS4 - besides the rubber on the analog sticks - the controller is quite sexy

DS4 is great.
Haven't tried XB1 controller yet.

But why isn't the GC controller in the poll? :O


Sorry.

Always thought the N64 controller was more popular amoung Nintendo gamers.

For me it's still the Xbox 360 controller, weird button placement at first but it's very comfortable and you quickly get used to it. I haven't really used PS4 yet. All I know is the PS3 controller shouldn't be in the poll at all. I like Dualshock 3 but it was on the small side



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Thank you for writing an opinion piece but I have my own opinion.

I only tried the controller at a store for 30 minutes, but I didn't particularily like it. The control sticks felt so weird, I can't even explain it. In my opinion, the Xbox One controller felt nicer (though I only tried that for a short time as well).
My favourite controller of all time is probably the GameCube Controller. The Xbox 360 one, which seems to be loved by many, doesn't even come close because of its absolutely atrocious d-pad. Seriously, that thing is bad as hell.
I also really like the Wii U GamePad. It feels so comfortable despite its size and I love the fact that I can use it for off TV play. That's what puts it slightly ahead of the Pro Controller, too.
Another standout for me is the Dreamcast controller. I don't know why, but I really like that one.

Ha ha, yep it was a complete knock off.  The Competition Pro was the original, but I just took to the Zip Stick those buttons being square look odd but the micro switches clicked away happily enough and the thing is virtually indestructible which was just as well when playing hours of Sensible Soccer :)

How I would rank them:

1. 360
2. GCN
3. DS4



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

It is my favorite controller the only negative is the rubber wears off sooooo quickly but then again I got a launch console so they might have fixed the rubbers.
