Dual Shock 4.

A modern version of the GC controller with sticks precise as the Xbox One would be god tier. It's the ultimate ergonomy for medium hands.

New model Xbone controller is pretty dope. DS4 is super comfy. Wii U Pro controller isn't horrible either, but the stick placement is dumb.

Gamecube controller is definitely not best. LR feel like spongy shit when it's in digital mode, and the cstick is literally the worst thing on any controller ever.

Wii U Pro controller, or if you're a richfag the XBox One Elite. I used one of those fuckers for a few hours and that shit should be illegal it felt so good. Apparently the bumpers on the back are just shortcuts for face buttons and don't seem to be individually progammable? Maybe?

Xbox One Elite is fucking great I agree. My older brother bought one(god knows why the nigger was making min wage at the time) and it's the best controller I've ever used. Made me go get a regular Xbone controller for my PC, which is still pretty good as well.

Analog aiming in shooters is outdated even on consoles. Nintendo controllers starting from he Wii U pad easily beats out everything but mouse. Sony will eventually catch up since it has the right hardware in the controller, but Xbox is stuck with the worst possible controller for shooters until the next revision.

360 fits perfect in my hads, it is almost perfect.
There are two things I don't like. 1) "Start" bottom is to close to "X" bottom and 2) It really isn't that bad, but it could be better.

Razer Onza tried to fix it, but the bottons are not "tasty" to press, it doesn't fit so well in hands, triggers are weird, "LB" and "RB" are noisy and small and sticks base's are sharped.
>>
>>376371158
>False

False my ass, every time I try and play Puyo Puyo Tetris with the D-Pad I wind up accidentally quick dropping pieces because pressing right sometimes just results in up-right, and it's because of how the D-Pad is set.

So either I got some weird, dysfunctional controller, or the D-Pad sucks ass.

Sabertooth was a big upgrade over the onza, however it had terrible QC. I used the hell out of both though. I've got a wildcat which is alright and a Raiju which may be the comfiest controller I've ever used, but it's a huge rip off price wise.

I use both wired on my PC, alternating based on whatever's closer/already plugged in.

I have neither of those controllers, and the SNES controller + adapter cost 15 bucks, but play the way you want

You need a wii u to use it, sometimes it locks out of the modded software and you have to reset it with the console.
Too bad as I don't have a wii u, people say they are great and wanted to try it out.

Is it really that much more? I paid about 170 usd including cost of importing mine. An xbox elite would've cost me about that after taxes.
