I've always liked the layout of playstation controllers. They make the most sense imo and the dualshock 4 is no exception, the best controller I've ever used. Though I wished they would've used a vita style d-pad instead.

The xb1 controller is good, perfect fit for my hands, but I don't like its weird sharp triggers, they actually hurt my index fingers if I press on them too suddenly.

The wii u pro controller is uninspired, don't like the face buttons being placed under the analog stick and for whatever reason it doesn't have analog triggers. Would've been better suited for the gamecube.

Wii U pro controller.



May sound weird, but the controller for my OUYA felt best in my hand of all controllers ever (also got lucky and no problems at all with it), maybe because I got very long fingers which keep getting in the way with each other on many other controllers (especially Playstation's Dualshocks, all of them). The Wii U Gamepad comes second, as again no risk tangling up my fingers here, but I dislike the arragement of the right thumbstick above the buttons instead of below. Last but not least comes the Xbox controller, which lies very good in my hand, although it could be a bit bigger for me.

And none of them beats a good keyboard & mouse combo ;)

I think the Xbox One controller is the best controller of this generation as it is properly sized and very comfortable. It is then followed closely be the PS4 controller.

Hmm, the pro controller is the most light and has the best battery life. The ps4 controller is the most comfortable to use but has the worst battery life. So overall I'd choose the X1 controller.

The gamepad shits all over the rest. The only ones hating on it are the ones who've never tried it.

That PS4 controller looks super ugly.

But, I dislike the gamepad and I've tried it. :(



DS4!
The Wii U pro controller is great as well though!
