Your Favorite Controller

It used to be the Dualshock design until the 360 rolled around. The 360's controller is close to perfection in my opinion. My only gripe is the battery pack on the back, but if you are playing a shooter, look no further.

Agreed with Abe.
Also, great idea for a thread.

Yeah I like the 360 controller a lot, it feels just right in my hands. As Abe said, I wish the battery pack didn't hit off my middle fingers but I can live with that.
I don't use the d-pad so I don't mind if it's crap.
I think the PS3 controller is a bit too light.
Edit: Keyboard and mouse shit all over gamepads though.

The answer to your question is "no" Vanden, I did not forget about the crappy d-pad. If I was playing a fighting game, I would get it on another console because they are the only d-pad heavy games that I play.

An epic controller would be a 360 controller with the PS2 D-Pad, the PS2 d-pad was awesome. Each button was separate...
And if you don't like the battery pack hitting your fingers, try a wired one. They're lighter, the cable is long, they can be used for PC gaming and if you also have a wired headset you can use it through a wired 360 controller to use it as a PC headset, which is pretty epic.

The PS2 controller.
#2 would be the ps3, then the 360 one(which is near unuseable to me)
the reason for that is that I game using just my left hand, and I cant use the 360's analogue layout w/ the dpad in the lower left. I also find triggers to be a pita(I reach over to the back of the controller w/ my fingers, and triggers are tougher)

I like wireless 360 controllers for that reason. The wired one just feels too light. I thought the same about the Dualshock 2 controller when I used to play the PS2, so I didn't use it for long. Instead I bought a crappy GAMEware one which weighed a tonne, but it was awesome. That was my favourite controller. I'll see if I can get a picture...
