Wii U pro. Perfect positioning of sticks and buttons. (man, right analog above ABXY is perfect for me, the best solution IMO)

Although, is still my favorite, it is not perfect.

Would be if it had gyro and if was a little less bulky on handles. p2 out and analog sticks rumble like xbox ones would be great. Id stick with 10h of batery for those features.

Also, with this positioning, Nintendo solve a big problem. The nintendo positioning of ABXY is out of nowadays norm(every PC controller now follows the xbox pattern ). In xbox pattern, X and A are the main buttons. They are closer to the analog stick, and is easy for going analog to these buttons. On wii U pro, X and A are also the close buttons to the analog stick, so they become the main buttons, despite their positioning. So, the same main buttons as xbox pattern, even in a upside down pattern. Pretty solid solution.

DS4, and X1 controller, I hate the gamepad for its battery life...

Xbox one elite controller for me. Xbox One og and Ps4 are probably about equally good for different reasons. I haven't had days of experience with the elite or the ds4 though.

The RB and LB buttons on the Xbox One controller are absolutely awful, I can't see how someone would think otherwise. That aside, the controller is fine enough I guess.

The Wii U Pro is my thing, though. For what I want from a controller, it is perfection.

the old design or the new one?? Because I too had issues with it on its first design but the newer controllers like my Elite Controller have much better bumpers then what the Xbox One launched with.

The gamepad is the only one that physically hurt me. Especially playing FRN makes my hand cramp after 15 minutes. The best is PSVR. I can't be bothered with analog aiming anymore after head tracking. It's like going back to the stone age. Better than mouse control and touch screen.

PS4 controller is great.

Nostalgia might be playing too big of factor but for me:

2nd: Atari
3rd: NES
4th: SNES
5th: N64/ DS1> OG PS
6th: Xbox S
7th: DS3
8th: DS4

X1 simply because I find it the most comfortable.

But I could settle with the DS4.

The Xbone Elite controller feels fantastic. It has a nice weight to it and the triggers are metal. But at that price it's really in its own category.

Either way, the only answer is GameCube controller.

I prefer the symmetrical placement of analog sticks on Playstation controllers so I use the DS4 for all my PS4 and PC games I play a controller with.
