What do you think is the best console controller of all time?

I vote PSX/PS2. It just feels very natural to me, and has enough buttons that it can perform quite a few functions.

Only four buttons and a d-pad, how much simpler could you get? ^_^

Yeah, the Playstation controllers are the most logical, but the Xbox controller feels jolly in my hands

I don't think I ever want to hear about ANYTHING feeling jolly in your hands.

I like the GameCube controller. PS2 comes in a close second.

ps2's, for me, is the best.

they changed very little from the original design for a reason. home run.

though it limits the buttons, not every game needs 14 different buttons, in fact most don't. but then, some may need more than 8, somehow.

Dual Shock 2 has 10 buttons, because you can click the sticks.

PS2's my favorite.

I've only ever used NES, SNES, N64, and PSX/PS2.

I like PSX/PS2 the best, even though my fingers get really sore when I play Tekken 3. (I like to shift my hands alot when I play and it gets uncomfortable to try to move my hands fast enough.)

Xbox controller > ALL!

the GC Wavebird controller comes in at a close second though.

and i've always found the PS2/PSX controllers to be just about useless for anything other than RPGs. it's just that they don't fit right in my hands. i can't explain it better than that.

PSX, then SNES.

All these new '249235 button controllers' are lame.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities.

PS2 Dual Shock 2

Not only is it a good shape, but have you ever really paid attention to the vibration setup in these things?

It has two seperate motors for vibration. One with a small weight that it can rev up for "shaking" vibration. The second has a larger weight, and it can be controlled on a "per rotation" level, allowing them to use it to create larger "boom" vibrations.

Sure, some games don't make use of that, but some do. I like that extra touch.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

People complain that the X-Box controller is too big, but I find it to be just right. I don't have big hands, either.

I still have to say that the PS2 controller beats the X-Box controller, just because it comes down to having two L and R buttons. I hate the fact that I'm using my thumbs for 90% of the controller, when I have 8 perfectly good other fingers doing almost nothing.

He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.'

Depends on the game.

FPS, and I'll go with keyboard/mouse. Speaking as someone who played -AND BEAT- Red Faction both on PC and PS2, for FPS games you just can't get ease of control with any console controller.

But for platform games, PS2 controller rocks the hizouse, baybee.

Xbox controller makes my hands hurt plus I felt that there was no easy way to identify which button you're on unless you look but that probably would have gotten better.

Gamecube controller would be perfect if it had a bigger D-pad

ps/ps2 controller's d-pad SUCKS ASS... sorry

original nintendo controller gave me blisters from the sharp corners.

The SNES controller is truly the mother of all controllers! it was perfect.

see, the Dual Shock controller sucks more balls for FPS games than a crack whore rocker at the anual "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll In That Order" convention.

but even though i agree with you that you can't get the control with a controller that you can with a keyboard and mouse, the Xbox and (mabey, need to wait for Metroid) the GC controller come close.

Okay, I admit it...

I HATE the N64 controller, it's the most unwieldly piece of crap I've ever tried to use...

EXCEPT when it comes to FPSs! After Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark, no other console controller feels right...
