Poll: PS3 or 360 Controller?

[ShadowsofHope]

The Xbox 360 controller, if we are choosing solely between those two. I've used Xbox controllers for most of my modern generation gaming, so the design is most ergonomic with my hands.

..But the Gamecube controller fucking kicks them both out of the water, end game.

PS3 controller. I like to have the joysticks properly placed. The Xbox is a great console 'n' all, but my left hand starts to fall asleep after 30-ish minutes, and I get cramps if I use it for more than an hour =/

I prefer the 360 controller. My hands are kind of big, so it just feels a lot better holding it.
Besides, I really like the trigger buttons a lot better; they just feel more precise than the PS3 ones. My fingers tend to slip off them.

The 360 controller has a better weight and fits my ginormas hands better, I always feel like I'm going to snap my DualShock 3 in half when I use it (Which back on my original PS, I had done in fits of rage.) That and I like the triggers a helluva lot more.

This, except I've never snapped any controllers.

Compared to the ugly, gargantuan XBOX controller, the 360 is a god send. I don't have a PS3 so I don't have much expertise, but from what I've played on PS3 both are about equal.

 

[Something Amyss]

The PS3 controller is small in my hands and feels cheap and fragile. Which is funny, since the controllers I have have endured longer than my 360 ones.

However, I will totally take the 360's controller every time. I was never big on the PS setup, but it was my main console inboth the PS1 and 2 days, so I had to deal.

360 easily. It's larger, it feels more natural and I prefer the triggers. It also looks better.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Xbox. The analog sticks are natural, easier to use the trigger and shoulder buttons and naturally fits your hand.

Keyboard, mouse, Playstation controller, Xbox controller, they're all good.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

to me, they're more or less the same cept different shapes and the analouges are on different places. I like the ps3 cause it hasnt changed its controller much over the years since the ps1 and it's easy to keep hold of and very comfortable. I also like the xbox 360 controller because its very fitting for my hands, but its probably just cause im a halo fan-boy

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

I'll take a Gamecube controller thanks

The perfect first response. Well done.

I like the 360 allot. It has a nice shape and texture, It does not slip that much and it does not get all to warm when you hold it.

BUT!

The Depad and the thumbstick is so hideously malformed and misplaced that there is nothing i can do but hate it in the end. I mean c'mon! Microsoft, you wore so close to creating the best controller ever and then you do that!

No sorry. I'll just play on my perfectly simple PS3 controller any day of the week, whom is the best controller, right now.

i'm gna have to go with xbox 360, ps3 controllers to small for my hands tbh, but my hands are quite large, i have to order in special gloves for my chemistry lessons at school, they don't make them in my size lol =p

 

[Kaymish]

PS3 by far it was the most important factor in my decision all decent X box games come out on PC anyway and my mate hax an Xbox and i cant play on his one for any decent length of time since the controller makes my hands sore

 

[Girl With One Eye]

The 360 controller seriously hurts my hands, its way too big. PS3 controller feels perfect.

 

[Dr.Susse]

I'm a bit biased because I've only held the 360's once or twice but I've had a sony dualshock all my gaming life and it's worked for me so far.

 

[dogenzakaminion]

Overall I prefer the 360 controller, but I don't like the D pad or the bumpers on it. Those I prefer on the PS3 controller. Overall it goes to the 360 beacuse it's nicer to hold, feels better built and the tactility of the buttons is better (in my opinion).

 

[Kortney]

360 controller is, by a long way, superior to the PS3. The PlayStation controller has the analog sticks in the wrong place and it doesn't encourage a natural positioning of the hand, with the crappy triggers and all.

 

[Jenova65]

I have fairly small hands and I love the 360 controller, it feels just right, the Playstation controller gives me cramp if I am playing for a long time. I love the Gamecube too controller it was awesome.

Oh if you having trouble with Minecraft control then i believe your head would explodes when you're playing early Rainbow Six (most notably Rogue Spear),SWAT3,possibly every RTS that emphasize on micro managements.

But really you should practice mouse+keyboard skill with Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear because It is the very first PC game i ever play,I started from "What button do i push to make my guy walk" to "Coordinating with 3 other teams to strike multiple point at the same time to prevent terrorist from destroy key objectives"
