X1 controller is my favourite,although a controller that still doesn't come with rechargeable batteries is really bad. And the need to spend more money on a charge kit is annoying.

Wii U Gamepad is my second favourite because I like having a separate screen and the off TV play is sometimes useful.

Dualshock 4 is a huge improvement to previous PS controllers but the poor battery life and quality is disappointing. But it is the most comfortable controller to hold.

I know the X1 controller gets nocked for not having a rechargable battery but iMHO, its better off because it does not include one.  The PS4 and WiiU gamepad really such when it comes to battery life and I am constantly recharging them.  As for my X1, the Rechargable batteries I already have in the home usually gives me a solid week of gameplay before a recharge.

the wiiu gamepad needs alot of juice, but its a freaking tablet and you can play offscreen. its only normal that it needs to recharge more often-



WiiU pro controller. It replaced my 360 controller as my default pc gaming controller. So damn comfortable and LIGHT



Hi

X1 absolutely. I would also like to throw in the WiiU pro controller since it shows how you place the sticks if you don't go for the Xbox layout. Sony's mistake is placing the sticks at the bottom of the controller, not the top. It creates an unnatural (for me at least) position of the thumbs.

I haven't tried the XOne controller but am assuming it's close to 360's. DS4 is just the worst Dualshock ever and has terrible gimmicks and battery life and deserves this position even though it's not much less comfortable than DS3. I guess I covered every controller of this gen, and it really shows how great controller BC is, there's no excuse for XOne not supporting 360 controllers for exemple.



wii U pro controller
I love the analog sticks position!
both above the pad and abxy button!
why have no one thougth that before?



I think you're right. I was playing Onechanbara this morning. I would try to hit the pause button to catch the perfect "ass shot". Every single solitary time, I would hit that touchpad and use up my special move. It was frustrating!



All 22 Ouya users agree it is the best, that is some happy consumer base right there. Ouya 100% approval by its owners.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Now exclude all the people who didn't try all the controllers that we can choose from.


Lol! Luckily, I have them all ( including Ouya).  I have my preferences but all of the choices (except Ouya) are pretty sweet.  You really can't go wrong.
