The force feedback II, or Pro, or sidewinder or whatever they were called. That Joystick was awesome! Currently using this http://www.fspilotshop.com/images/x52.jpg I wish it had force feedback.scnj said:
On topic:
I had forgotten how similar the dreamcast and original xbox's controllers were. I didn't really like either of them. The 360 controller gets my vote.
To people comparing old school controllers like NES and Megadrive...How can you compare them to current generation controllers? Games have progressed so much that the need for more features on a controller has changed also (obviously).
I of all people can appreciate what you are saying, you are correct in saying that it is gaming machine however I am looking for consoles not gaming platformsMr.Tea said:Even if you don't call a PC a "Console", it's a gaming platform which I refuse not to include along every other gaming platform out there especially when there was an "Other" option in the poll.asam92 said:People PLEASE stop mentioning the Mouse and KeyboardMr.Tea said:Other.
I clearly mentioned CONSOLE
Still, I'll indulge you: Out of every gaming system referred to as "Consoles", the controller I prefer is the 360's. Simple yet not under-featured, aesthetically pleasing and comfortable.
There are attachments available to allow use of keyboard and mouse on consoles.asam92 said:I of all people can appreciate what you are saying, you are correct in saying that it is gaming machine however I am looking for consoles not gaming platformsMr.Tea said:Even if you don't call a PC a "Console", it's a gaming platform which I refuse not to include along every other gaming platform out there especially when there was an "Other" option in the poll.asam92 said:People PLEASE stop mentioning the Mouse and KeyboardMr.Tea said:Other.

Therefore they can be allowed since you haven't complained about people suggesting third party controllers such as the wireless Logitech PS2 controller mentioned a few posts up.
Also, in my own opinion and to satisfy your requirements, the Madcatz small XBox 1 controller I always liked.
Conversly, the Madcats PS2 controller which came in a set of that, a stand and something else I think, was shit, and could only handle eight directions on its 'anologue' stick.
I actually think the Virtual Boy controller was the best controller I've had the pleasure to use.
I'm not even sure how I feel about that.

Original X Box for my lanky hands! Plus it made an excellent beating implement if you lost all the time...
I would have to say the 360 Controller, it just feel better then the ps3, but if you were to ask this question when the old xbox and the ps2 was the IN thing, then I would of Voted for the Ps2... (I know the ps3 and the ps2 controller are the same) but that old xbox controller was nic name T-REX,for being big and useless the S-type wasnt that bad
The Dual Shock.
It's been around for 10+ years with barely a change. I prefer that layout of analogue sticks as well, it just fits my hands better.
The 360 controller is alright ergonomically but it's let down by the details. Particularly the D-pad.
I'm not a fan of trigger type shoulder buttons either.
