I can only post my favourite of the ones I have used.

10. Original Nes pad. (paved the way of a decent d-pad. Much better than the Master System d-pad)

9. Atari Joystick. ( it was robust and precise for it's time. Better than Commodores version, which was easy to break.)

8. Original Playstation pad. (was more ergonomical than the snes pad. but the d-pad was only ok)

7. Snes Pad. (was very good in it's day, superb d-pad and had plenty of buttons.)

6. Dualshock 2+3. (although the wieght and cable features are different, they are essential the same apart from the very twitchy triggers on DS3. A pad I used for years, but the ergonomics made it hard for me as the sticks are so close and the pad feels tiny.)

5. PSP. (yes it's a handheld but very well done for the controls. Sony get thumbs up for this)

4. N64 pad. (the first pad to have rumble feature outside PC gaming pads. Also the first with analog. Loved this pad)

3. DS (the control scheme is perfect for a handheld, play Zelda on DS and you will understand>)

2. 360 pad. (fits your hand very ergonomically. Relaxing to use nither feels too big or to small. The d-pad does suck, but thankfully we do not live in an era where d-pad is for precision. I have used and done well with analogs for fighting games for over 5 years now.

1. Wiimote. (Love it or hate, it is revolutionary. After using it for FPS's it's not all it cracked up to be for that genre. I think I could beat anyone with analogs. However it's so diverse and changes the games we play. It can only get first place.)
