Which console in all of history had the best controller?

I have big hands so I would say the xbox 360 would have to be my favorite controller. The PS controller is too small and I never liked the toggle on the N64 because it felt so fragile. Never liked the SNES controller, too small. Even the big Genesis controllers didn't work for me.

I really liked the Gamecube controller. 2nd would be 360's controller.

Dreamcast? Really? I think that was the worst.

1. N64

2. SNES

3. Gamecube

4. 360

5. PS2

Best controller and the best console.

I still think the Super Nintendo controller was the best. It was very comfortable to me, and it worked perfectly for fighting and platforming games.BuryMe

the best controller for it's time is the SNES controller. I feel the xbox 360 controller is the best controller to date, but is more of an evolutionary process.

I'd also like to add an honorary mention to "the duke" which is probably the most underrated controller of all time, and a "we hardly knew ye" award to "the boomerang" which may of been a good controller if fanboy's weren't such tools. It could of been crappy, but I think people should judge a controller on feel, not on looks.

I must say,after all these years the XBox360-Controller is the only one I´m really happy with...exept the digi-cross.The design lies perfectly in my (pretty big) Hands.

The Xbox-Pad was a great combination of Sega´s former Pads and there is nothing to moan about,exept the Black and White Buttons who are not that good to reach overall.Equal which version of the Pad.Luckily the Game-designers known that too and used them pretty clever,which almost equals it.

The PS1/PS2/PS3-Controller isn´t bad at all,but also the digi-cross is far from perfect and the analog-sticks are horrible for FPS-Games.The unergonomic shape is almost a legend,because it was horrible but people still got used to it in all these years.

The Saturn Controllers all had it´s favs and flaws,but had been great too overall.

The DC-Controller just missed 2 buttons and felt a bit strange at first,but I got used to it.

The SNES-Controller was great for it´s time and was by far the best 16-Bit Controller.

The Worst Controller ever was the N64´s without question,because the desingn killed much of the fun and made multi-titles almost unplayable,plus it had by far the worst quality ever.It was ok for exclusive games but evern there you could have had mor fun with a "regular" Pad.

The GC-Controller follows as the 2nd worst,because of awful sticks,bad placed buttons and a digi-cross out of hell.Maybe acceptable for 12 year old children,but for grown-ups just small and awful.

If you consider each controller based on when it came out, then hands-down the SNES. Everything else before (examples: NES- too blocky, Genesis- Not enough buttons) and after (DualShock- analog placement, GC- needs another trigger and bigger D-pad) I've had some kind of gripe with.MAILER_DAEMON

Genesis-Not Enough Buttons? Is that even a valid criticism, or complement

My favorites rank as follows: Genesis(Best D-pad ever created), 360 Wireless (Most Comfortable Pad Ever In My Hands, But Crappy D-pad), SNES(Second most comfortable ever, decent d-pad, most balanced controller).

Oh btw (Sega came out with a few version of the Genesis controller):

Holy Crap this gamecube controller is sweet:

Super Nintendo. Genesis was great but not enough games were made with the 6-button controller. 2nd place goes to 360. The setup of the duel joystick just improved upon the groundbreaking xbox controller. And 3rd, DuelShock. It just works, although its not that great for racing games though with the triggers.ice_radon

I would say the X360 controller would be perfect if it had a decent d-pad.bugsonglass

Couldnt agree more. Absolutely fantastic controller, incredibly comfortable.

PS2 is the for memasori

Best ever? Definitely the 360. MS took all the best ideas from other controllers and was able to squeeze them into one comfortable package.

I typed out a response which stated that the DS3 was better than 360s controller on certain genres such as fighting, action, traditional RPG, sim racers, and certain sports games while 360 was better at FPS, arcade racers, fable type RPG/action adventure, but gamespot decided not to post it ...it was more well written before. Damn it

:lol: I hate that damn glitch so much, it actually forced me to CTRL+c everything I type in here, and pretty much everywhere.

I have fond memories of the SNES pad, and right now the 360 one feels really comfortable for me. Never tried the Dreamcast one, but it seems painful to use. *runs from the vehement, angered Dreamcast fanbase mob*

Yes yes, CTRL C, Will do!!

Whats so good about SNES controllers guys? For 2d games its brilliant but people, it cant play 3d games, so please keep it out of the top 3 (best of all time...? o_0 )

I think DS3 and 360 controllers are such a great combination to have you can have the best of w/e genre.
