PS5 Dual Shock is still my favorite controller and by a wide margin. NS2 Pro Controller is the best if I’m simply looking for a good controller with a nice feel in the hands and quick button inputs… but man the haptics on PS5 are unmatched. Playing TLoU with the trigger resistance, Astro with its creative implementation of surround-rumble, even the gamepad is just sooo satisfying to use… it literally feels like I’m pressing buttons on a thin keyboard, I have no idea how Sony has done it!
That said: Good thread. Cannot agree more!! Such an overlooked and underrated aspect to game design.
