Dreamcast

Playstation1

Controller S

Sega Saturn NiGHTS pad

Dreamcast / Controller S (tie)

looks more like a worst of list so far.

best ever is the snes controller. no need for moe than 4 face buttons and 2 should. the perfect controller.

NES dogbones are #2

Best Controller Ever - Playstation 2 (Dual Shock 2) - Great looking, excellent button placement and surprisingly very durable and solid.

Honorable mention - GameCube - Probably the most comfortable controller I've used, but sometimes didn't work as good with third party games. Aren't the most durable things either.

Xbox Controller S is the most solid/durable controller

Worst Controller Ever - Original Xbox "Duke" controller - Damn, what the hell were they thinking on this one?

Other not so great controllers:
Dreamcast - VMU functionality was very innovative and cool, but damn those controllers were ugly.
N64 - Control stick became loose way too easily, and also another ugly and uncomfortable controller.

NES pads hurt hands but they are classic

Dual shock 2 by a landslide.

oh man, BEST CONTROLLER EVER:

Sega Genesis 6 button pad! nice, soft buttons that are EASY to push and possibly my favorite D-Pad ever.

nes advantage

Best Dreamcast, I like the big Xbox controller,I can't use the smaller one, Tries it,took it back and stayed with the big ones.

Mmm I like the PS2 dualshock controller, but as for crazy controllers go:

I agree with that, that is really cool

The import Sega Saturn controller. Especially for all the great 2D Fighters on the system.

BEST MEMORY CARD: DC VMU
BEST D-PAD: Sega Saturn 6-button pad

OVERALL: Sega Saturn 6-button. Comfy, good layout, and a great d-pad. The shoulders leave a bit to be desired, but you can't have it all...

Racing games: Dreamcast. No contest. Smooth triggers with lots of travel make throttle and gas a dream.
Action/adventure: Gamecube. With buttons that are easy to find and the C stick for looking around, it works well.
Most versitile: Playstation. Buttons everywhere fingers can reach. If they'd just ditch the symbols (I still have to look down)
Worst 1st party. Original XBox. "Like holding a pair of grapefruits and pressing on dried peas." --me during the E3 debut. I limited this one to 1st party because there was a number of third party controllers that just didn't work as controllers.
Fighting game: Genesis 6 button. Classic layout. (sticks excluded from this one)

1) Capcom's Steel Battalion

2) Capcom's Onimusha 3 Soul Controller

3) XBOX Silent Scope Rifle/Shotgun light-gun controller

4) FPS Master Shooter for XBOX & PS2

HotRod/X-Arcade Best Arcade stick, good weight, not a cheap ball stick

Dual Shock 2, need the analog!

Snes controllers are weak in the trigger department, break too easy

Nes Max. I used to school my friend in Pro Wrestling with this baby. He got so mad!



"Power in the palm of your hands" Hmm.

wavebird.

N64 controller... I don't think any controller can really top the layout for use on an FPS...

My favorite of all time is the Saturn 8-Button (The original controller). Everything since then has been an abombination to 6-button capcom figters.

As far as my favorite specialty controllers, the DC Fishing pole, the Hanaho Hotrod Arcade stick, and the Logitech Momo racing wheel all should get mention.

NES Advantage kicked as much ass as some sort of ass kicking machine.
