Love the elite controller! If only I owned one...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

For me it's PS4 first, Wii U Pro controller second.

I like the Gamepad for streaming...but I can't stand playing games on it for long. Just feels cumbersome to me.

I've had both the 3DS and New 3DS...and though I don't find either uncomfortable, I prefer playing on a controller in general. Hard to compare though.

Never had a Vita or One, so can't compare those.

Well, from consoles the only one I have a lot of experience with is the gamepad and pro controller, so... I'm gonna go with the gamepad. Of the 3 controllers available, they all feel good to me, so I give it to the gamepad mostly for its screen. I mean, what other controller lets you play off screen, lets you do pictures on it, and does other weird things with different games?

Ps4,very comfortable.Wii U too big,Xbox, never liked the offset analogs.

Wii U Pro Controller. The battery alone makes it worth it imo. You can use it as a PC controller too, so it's even better.

I own all of them!

4 3DS, 1 Vita , 1 WiiU GamePad, 1 WiiU Pro, 2 ps4 (one PS4 and one PSTV), and 4 XBO (two XBO)

My fave is Xbox One but it's really loud (clicky) and 2/4 have calibration issues. WiiU controllers are great but no analog shoulders. I like the stick placement a lot. PS4 is great but I can never find the options and share buttons when I need them. Vita and 3DS are serviceable but nothing special.

I don't actually have one, but the Xbox One controller is fantastic. The trigger rumble thing feels cool, and the sticks are easily the best (both of my DS4's left sticks have their rubber peeling off, which I've never had happen with any other controller before).

The dualshock 4 is my favorite controller to date. The GamePad is really fun to use though, as much as people give it crap. Very comfortable somehow.



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

You can? That's pretty cool
