At the moment I use my 8bitdo pro2. It was kinda expensive but its a huge upgrade from my no name switch controllers and awful gamesube one from powera.

Also, the 3ds had really good controls (we don't talk about the c stick)

I'm still using an old PS4 Dual Shock, as I prefer its ergonomics to the Microsoft one... But I have to say the rechargeable AA's of Microsoft are a big plus.

I do not know what the industry wide obsession is with connected D-pads, but my chunky thumbs do not appreciate it.

And with that in mind, the Playstation style of controllers are the closest thing to my ideal controller currently on the market.

Also, I prefer thumbstick under D-pad just in case I need to hit one of those buttons regularly I have a few options.

Given that the only console games I play are old Nintendo platformers, I'm gonna have to go with the NES Controller.

Trying to play Megaman 2 with analog sticks is an exercise in anger management. XD

My favourite controllers are still the official Xbox controllers because of Xbox Design Labs. I like to have my controller look the way I want. And also they seem to be the only controllers that can still be powered by 2 plain rechargable AA batteries.

Edit: Here is my design for anyone curious: Xbox Design Labs Screenshot

8bitdo ultimate. Already lasted more than a couple of months, as opposed to the last two Xbox controllers I had. I just wanted hall effect joysticks and Xbox layout.
