Various other posts often have some mention of this, but I don't think their has actually been a post.

What is your favourite, and least favourite, joypad over the course of gaming time. No PC's, gameboys and the like, only things like Playstation 1/2, megadrive, X-Box and the like.

:cool: Mine is the Dual analog2 for the PS 2, as it manages to fit 13 buttons, of varying importants, on a well fitting shaped pad.

My worst has to be the Atari Jaguar, sure, it has 17 buttons, but seeing as you have to shift your hands around that much to reach one button. Its worse than playing twister :D :p .

There's no contest here, everyone knows the PS2 has the best controller no contest, every button is easy to press, you can reach all buttons and it's comfertable. My worst is the horrible Gamecube controller, it gives you Nintendo thumb after half an hour and some buttons are too tiny to press.

My favourite controller is the PS/PS2 controller. It's ergonomic design is a no contest, and if your fingers get tired from tapping the 4 shoulder buttons, you can easily switch to any other finger (except the thumb, duh).

The least favourite controller that I have played with, not counting the old ones (where no research has been done on people's hands), is the XBOX controller. It is a big hunk of ugly junk that's a real pain to use. Plus, I've seen many kids with small hands unable to reach some buttons comfortably. Overall, a bad piece of work.

PS2 best, megadrive (genesis) worst.

I'll backup the PS2 controller. The size of the Xbox controller is amazing...but not in a good way.

I will also say the PS2 controller is the best because it is so simple and easy to use.

I just luuurrrve the way the GameCube controller just seems to mould perfectly around one's hands :xx:

The ancient NES controllers did nothing for me (except give me a hand cramp) but then who did exactly like them?
