Favourite controllers (lemmy.world)

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?

The Switch Pro controller has been my favorite, however it has two issues. The trigger buttons are just a switch, so if you're into arcade racing games, that'll be rough. The other is that the rubber pads on the thumbsticks are questionable quality, and can also become quite slippery from the oils in your skin

Agree on the Xbox controller. I even bought an adapter to use the Xbox360 controller on my PS3 :D

Mostly agree, except I've never liked the dpad on the 360 controller. An XB1 or Series S|X controller is a noticeable step up IMO!

8bitdo Pro 2. I LOVE me some 2D platformers, and the D-pad is absolutely amazing for me. I think I have 4 in total now, two wired two wireless?

Only problem is the sticks wear out, but they sell replacements! So no tossing the whole controller :D
