Forums - Gaming - Top 10 Best Controllers of All Time

Hey, at least we didn't had to give that page free hits for checking the list, right?

The GC controller is almost perfect, but it fails hardly at one thing: It's sticks tend to screw a lot. All of my five GC controllers have their sticks faulty.

The Dual Shock... geez I hate the Dual Shock. It makes my wrists hurt, plus the sticks feel a bit loose. Not to mention the D-Pad. Why is it divided? It makes me get blisters.

The 360 is a really good pad, pretty much perfected the "old" controller type.

The Wii Mote is great, gotta love the IR and the motion controllers, it's very comfortable, but it's D-Pad it's a bit hard on the thumb.

And seriously, no mention of Keyboard + Mouse while you add the Steel Battalion, GH and Guncon? Crap list and site.

The dual shock should be nr 1.. any of the dual shocks..

 

Dual shocks ftw.  :P only controllers this gen that are wireless and doesn't require you to insert batteries.



Check out my game about moles ^

If you're referring to comfort alone, it would have to be keyboard + mouse, and then 360, with neither the Dualshock or Wiimote and none of them are particularly ergonomic, though the Dualshock > Wiimote for comfort.

However saying the 360 controller is the 'best' is just stupid, it doesnt even come with a rechargable battery :p and doesn't feature motion control!

However, the G25 should be no. 1, even if it's excluded for just dring games :P



Unlike some others, I must agree with #1. The first time I picked up the 360's controller I thought "Wow... Perfect."

I'm not saying that as a fanboy, I'm saying that as my honest, genuine response. The size, the weight, the setup, it was perfect. I still feel that way today.
