360 controller #1? Is this a joke? The D-pad alone is enough to drop it out of the top 10. Also the RB guitar is far better than the GH. No mention of the Wii controllers.

 

What? ARe you kidding me? The RB guitar fails against the GHIII guitar in every single way. The buttons are much more clicky and less responsive. And they break more easily.. The strumbar is squishy and difficult to strum constantly. The entire guitar feels cheap and easily breakable.

 

In every way, the RB guitar is a failure.

Every point you made can be said about both guitars.  GH buttons are harder to keep your fingers on, no high fret buttons, and it feels cheap and easily breakable as well.

What I don't get is how the Xbox 360 controller can be tops when the D-pad is lamented as being poor (so poor that the non-American territories have received an update/upgrade).

Also, I tend not to think of some of those special set-ups the same way I think of standard controllers. Putting them together ($200 special set up for one game/game-type followed by pack-in controller) really makes for a strange list.

Could have been included -- Dreamcast and Wii.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

i will stick to my asymetrical dual joystick



I really liked the dualshock and the SNES one.

I would have to say that the SNES pad was the best, and most historically significant pad.

The 360 pad is generic, I see little as to why it should be #1. It is a more comfortable clone of the XBox controller which was just a bit different than the GC controller. I don't agree at all :-\

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

Best 10 pads ever

1. Sega saturn pad
2. Sega saturn pad
3. Sega saturn pad
4 to 9.......... You guessed it.......... Sega saturn pad
10. 360 pad

 

I honestly do not recall ever hearing anyone say a bad word about the saturn pad...... Best of all time surely

 

 this is the right answer to this thread. The end.



My best controller would be a a mix of the Dualshock and the 360 pad. Use the 360 case and triggers but switch out the rest of the stuff with the PS3 controller.



I don't like gamedaily at all, and no mention of the Wii remote or the Power Glove (joke) is fail! Plus the ranking of those controllers are so off, though I'm surprised this guy didn't say Xbox 1 controller as #2, but really the best controller ever is mouse and keyboard, Wii remote, 360 controller, GC controller, the dualshock 1 & 2 controllers tied with SNES controller, and then dualshock 3 only because those L2 and R2 triggers don't feel as natural as they should, then from there on I don't even care anymore lol it could be a classic Atari joystick for all I care.

The xbox 360 controller is a copy from the dreamcast controller so how can it be #1 if it is a clone??? My #1 would be The ps2 controller
