I picked DS4 but I still think it looks a bit off. I was way better with the DS2/DS3 and six axis but they were a wee bit too small and a lot less comfortable for prolonged use, however the design was something I grew up with and I had a certain way of handling the design I had to give up with 360 and ds4 but I do prefer the ds4 now over much anything else. Trackpad, motion controls, speaker, symmetrical sticks, great trigger compression, VR usage, it has it all but for some loose l1/r1 or "bumpers", not such great battery life and it lacks a pleasing look, although at least on charging it's quick and ready in no time.

If the DualShock 4 had a way better battery, a smaller light bar like the one on the DualSense and no touchpad (since the touchpad is very rarely used in a meaningful way), I think it would by my favorite controller ever by a significant margin.

For reference my favorite controllers (in no particular order): GameCube, Xbox 360, DualShock 4, and Switch Pro Controller. I'm sure DualSense will end up being up there. And the reason I don't favor the Xbox One controller over the 360 is because I've only used it for a few hours over a period of about 5 years now. If I had used it more, I'd probably prefer it over the 360 controller.
