Best Controller

Which game console has the best controller? I'm speaking of the default controllers, not special add-ons you can buy separately.

For me it was the Super Nintendo. It fit well in my hands and was the first to add extra buttons beyond A and B, but also use them very well.

I loved the Playstation controllers, there was a job for each of your fingers and little more than that.

But if it counts, the computer mouse is the best.

I'd love to say that the Nintendo controllers were the best, but I think I'd end up picking Playstation or Super Nintendo controllers. It's hard to pick, really.

I'd vote for Playstation controllers too. They seem to be perfect. But then again, I haven't experienced any Xbox controller so my opinion is just based on the Sony and Nintendo systems.

It really depends on what kind of game I'm playing. For console FPS games, I prefer Xbox or 360 controllers. For most other games, I prefer the PS2/PS3 controllers. As for my favorite old time controller, that would have to go to the Sega Saturn. 6 face buttons with 2 shoulder buttons. Perfect for figthing games, before I started using arcade sticks.

PlayStation or a classic controller for me, too. The Nintendo controllers on their last few consoles have been weird. Like the GameCube or maybe N64?... For one of them, you need three hands to use all the buttons. Weird.

I like the button placement on the PlayStation controllers, but not the size of the controllers. I always thought they were too small. They just don't fit comfortably in my hands.

I always thought that the N64 controllers were intimidating.
