Who makes the better game controllers

Sony

Microsoft

Razer

Logitech

Nintendo

Logitech = favorite KB/M. Using the Wave Pro which comes with the MX1100. Best mouse eva!

Nintendo = new favorite console controller because of Classic Controller Pro. so comfortable and light. Just wish it had a sort of rechargable batteries so I didn't have to attach it to the Wiimote

Sony = used to be favorite until I got a CCP. Favorite for gamepads on PC though. DS3 + Motioninjoy = happy RE4/5 gaming

Microsoft = hate their controller. Uncomfortable, especially the wireless. Wired one is still kewl though but I prefer the DS3 a lot more.

Razer = do not like. Their mice are too slim for me. I prefer Logitech's claw grip instead of the laid-out flat grip Razer has.

that tried and true dualshock baby! anybody with me lol.

Definitely Microsoft, the 360 controller is the closest thing to a perfect controller. The dualshock should have been replaced after the PS2 era, Sony are just lazy. Not to mention the dualshock 3 is flimsy, ive already cracked one controller which has never happened to me before. Not a fan of the wii mote.Anjunaddict

How does one crack/break a controller? I've thrown controllers against the wall (Problem? Computers cheat! :P ) but they never broke or even cracked.

Can't comment on the mice, I just use your typical mouse with my PC. But for console controllers, gotta go with the 360 for being the most ergonomically designed, with its optomized analog sticks, triggers, and face buttons. The d-pad is strike, but the pros far outweigh the cons.

Logitech.. probably steelseries if you include all the PC people. I like the 360 controller alot though.

Logitech, they have always made great mice

I have the MX518. But for console controllers, I like the PS3 the most.

Logitech. I don't have a 360 but I have to say Microsoft makes the superior console controller this generation. The battery pack is annoying but it's better suited for human hands than a DS3. I hope Sony went back to the drawing board on that when development of #4 started.

Xbox controller is absolutely perfect. Its like it was designed to conform to my hand size. One of the main reasons I purchase my multiplats on the 360 unless the PS3 version is superior, which is rare.

I like the DS3 the best out of the three console controllers (haven't tried classic controller pro though). The loose analog sticks help my aiming out. I want to try out the Razer Onza Tournament edition for 360 though since analog stick tension can be adjusted.

Is this a serious question? MS hands down. I just bought the new razer onza 360 controller.. have been pumped for it for a year.. it's going on ebay, it's terrible compared to just a regular ole xbox controller. fastr

Really? :( I actually had my eye on the Onza. It looks like an amazing design. What's so bad about?

I don't know why, but for some reason I dislike dual shoulder buttons. It feels too cluttered and it's difficult to get the right button (if the game involves using both L1 L2 & R1 R2. I think I'm in the minority, but that's how I feel.

No it definitely shouldn't have, it's a great design, and was one of my reasons for getting a PS3 first.

Don't fix what isn't broken is the saying. I will say they could fix the triggers to curve outwards though, other than that, keep it the same.

Same with the 360's, only reason MS changed design from the original Xbox was because it blew! the 360's controller is great as well. Just not the god-awful D-pad, other than that I wouldn't want them to change theirs either.

The CIassic Controller Pro is far and away the most comfortable controller I've ever used. GCN controller a close second, 360 controller a little ways behind it.

Still the best.

It will override your current bluetooth drivers. I have a mini BT dongle that I have to use with my previous KB/M (Logitech MX5000, worst combo ever) since its BT dongle stopped working. I still had it plugged in when I got a new Wave Pro combo so I never had a problem. When I put the mini dongle and MX5000 on our family computer and installed Motioninjoy (and linking the controller with the BT adapter, which overrode the drivers,) it kicked the MX5000 off the BT dongle and took away any kind of connectivity options. The really awesome thing about it though is that you can swap out the drivers whenever you want. So you could enable it for PS3 wireless then disable it afterward to get your standard BT drivers back. You'd need another mouse that isn't BT to do that though. Might be able to use 2 BT adapters too, but not 100% about that.

You could also just use a USB cable and avoid connecting it wirelessly.

Still the best.

Thats what Ive been thinking however Ive heard that motionjoy will still install bluetooth drives. I understand the need for controller drives but I really dont want the bluetooth drives to sneak in.

On our family computer it works perfectly fine. My MX5000 still works and bluetooth options are still there. Just plug in the controller with the usb cable and it picks it up automatically. Sometimes you have to open up Motioninjoy and hit the enable button though.

You have to manually enable the bluetooth drivers. It installs them, but does not activate them unless you do. Theres a chance your BT dongle might not be compatible anyway but you'd have to have something really old.

Saitek 6 button dual analog controller

AmazonTreeBoa

Omg I have one of those! First controller for PC that I bought.

Amount of success with getting it working until Windows 7? 1.05%

Until I got W7 it never, ever wanted to work. Which is very odd considering I got it back in 2004 I think. 2005 I got a wired 360 controller :D

Gamecube > All.

Razer has some pretty good mice that I like such as the Naga,the Mamba and the Deathadder,and great keyboards such as the Lycosa,the Marauder and the Anasi,though I recently found that the Roccat Kone is in alot of ways better than any razer mouse I´ve ever used.

Logitech is great as well but not so much for mice to me,I prefer their keyboards.

As far as the controllers go,the 360 one is the best.

definetly microsoft

*sarcasm* Madcatz.*sarcasm*

logitech 4 sure

love my G19 + G9

The DualShock is the only gamepad that I can't stand. The placement of the analog sticks is awful IMO. I don't like the Wii classic controller for the same reason...22Toothpicks

I feel like the DS3 was made for tiny hands and I don't care for the stick placement (although I've gotten used to it). On the flip side, whenever I play my 360 it's like taking a breath of fresh air and telling my hands I love them. I definitely prefer the 360 controller-- the design fits my hands perfectly.
