What is the Best Console Controller of All Time?

Posted by Cliff on from the ps2-before-anything dept.

Mateo Slovinsky asks: "Is the XBox 360's controller the best controller of all time? CNet seems to think so in its line up of the top five gamepads of all time. If you expected the Wii's controller, you will be dissapointed. It's a brilliant piece of innovation, but there simply aren't enough games to judge it against the best controllers ever." Which controller would you pick? What controllers have not left your hands cramped after a marathon session of gaming?

    Adjustable turbo on A and B, large buttons, comfortable stick, fits on your lap or a tabletop nicely, even a slow-motion hack for those games that could support it. Next question....

    This is the NFL, which stands for "Not For Long" if you keep making those bulls*** calls.

    I'm one of the guys who prefered the original "duke" controler on the xbox, but even with my largeer hands the 360 controler is really comfortable, I think they really spent alot of time on the design of it.
