    What's your favorite controller from any console?

    Mine's the 360 controller. It just fits best in your hand, the buttons are easy to reach, and overall it's the most comfortable. The d-pad is the only really bad thing about it.

    I also like the 360 controller. The placement of the buttons is perfect and the controller itself is very ergonomic.

    The 360 controller, hands down. There's something that just feels right about the controller. The grips, the analog sticks, the weight. The only prob I have with it is the D-Pad, and even then I don't use it enough to go "OMG it's such a pain!".
    I also like the PS3 controller, but I think I like it because it's always been the same, PS/2/3, and I'm used to it.

    I don't like the triggers or the rounded analog sticks on the PS3 controller. The analog sticks are really...springy, or something, too.

    After playing a lot of Uncharted 3 beta... I don't really have a prob with the rounded sticks. I guess they might be easier to slip... but I haven't had a prob with them. As for the triggers... no, they didn't do a good job on them. Thus why shooters on the PS3 use the R1 to shoot and L1 to zoom in.

    The GameCube controller, the Xbox 360 controller, and the Wiimote. In no particular order.

    I think the GameCube controller is very much near-perfect. It fits to my hands amazingly well and I love how the R and L shoulders are curved inwards so my fingers can sit in them without pressing them. Button placements are great too. More ergonomic controller for me

    The 360 controller is also great. No real complaints there. Really comfortable.

    The Wii controller has some complications with buttons placements, but those buttons are rarely used anyway. I think Wiimote + Nunchuck setup is brilliant

    I prefer the Xbox 360 controller over the PS3 because the PS3 controller is harder to push down and I find it hard to trigger finger. The 360 controller is the perfect size for my hand and all of the buttons are easy to push down which helps in games where you need to be as quick as possible.

    Gamecube hands down. It just fits into my hand so much nicer than a lot of controllers.
    For me, the 360s feels chunky and just horrible.

    My favourite controller would be the old NES controller. The small size easily fit into anyone's hand, and it was so simplistic with just four buttons and an arrow pad.

    I have these slip on silicone things on my sticks so they're like a 360s anyway. Is the U3 beta worth DLing?

    I like the 360 and PS3 controllers. 360 just feels so natural, but it's not really ruggard enough to rage grab like the PS3 controller.
