The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks.

Dualshock comes a close 2nd but was never a fan of the analog layout.

I find the n64 most jarring and I get that it was meant to be used differently for different games, but I still preferred the 3rd party options that took it closer to a standard gamepad.

Your thoughts?

For 3D games:

Xbox Series X controller with added ExtremeRate back paddle kit.

For PC games:

og Steam controller

Most of the time I use the Dualsense Edge though, because I rarely use controller on pc and almost never turn on my Xbox.

I play most of my 2d games on purpose built retro handhelds, so there’s no real separate controller to speak of, but I do love pretty much all of them in different ways.

xbox is my top controller design (360 onwards), however the touchpad on ps4/ps5 comes in handy for RTS games (or any mouse required game). it's a missed opportunity for microsoft, considering they're bringing Age of Empires to the console

N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right... prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was... still pretty awkward.

I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.
