what controllers does the ltt forum use??

[da na]

I like the original PS1 controller. None of this AmErIcAn VeRsIon BS: nah. The launch edition Japanese controller. No vibrating motors, no thumbsticks, just... buttons. It's beautifully simple.

I'm building a PC for emulation / mame / etc, and it'll be using Wii U and XBox 360 pads.

 

Beyond that we shall see.

Wii U

i was going to incude this but i didnt think there was someone crazy to use it in a pc. i was clearly wrong. lol

[WhitetailAni]

PS2 or Switch Pro controller for emulation, though I think there's a way to use my 3DS as a controller in which case I will do that.

'nintendo oldie' and 'nintendo newie', I am just wondering what would fit in what category? There really isn't one distinct style of Nintendo controller:

(And this chart is even omitting some stuff, like the Wii Nunchuk or Classic Controller (Pro), the Wii U pro controller and more).

So I am more just curious where you draw the line between old and new here

 

Either way, I have used most of the controllers in the list, it just depends on the system I am playing on. As for PC gaming, I tend to stick to the Xbox One controller, because I have it, it's pretty comfortable and feature-ready for most games, plus it has excellent compatibility with all types of games on PC.

The GameCube controller still ranks among my favorite controllers ever, not only for its excellent build quality, but also because of its (most unmatched) level of comfort IMO. The C-stick, lack of a second shoulder button on the left, mediocre D-pad and lack of buttons in the center is however a bit disappointing.

I have a Dualsense and Xbox controller. Xbox is the easy winner for me. Dualsense started getting loose triggers after a month and it seems to be common to get stick drift too (I don't have it after 7 months so I guess I'm lucky)

 

Xbox controller has 0 issues, and has better compatibility. Only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it's not rechargable

IMO the first two (NES and SNES) are in a category of their own, while the next two (N64 and GameCube) are in a category of their own (together with the Wii U Gamepad, Wii classic controller, Wii U/Switch Pro Controller) as controllers with a modern thumbstick design.

The Wiimote if a class of its own too, same with the Joycons, although those two do have quite a bit in common.

 

I think those three/four categories of controllers are the distinct types of Nintendo controllers:

- Classic D-pad and button controllers

- Analog sticks added

- Motion control and a classic D-pad/button arrangement

- Joycons (optional, could be in the category above too)

I have a xbone controller and a gamesir t4 for most games, a logitech g27 for driving, and I want to get a flight stick and find some good flying games...
Prefer the gamesir to the xbone, and the wheel for driving
Forgot about the gamesir when I voted...

The 16 bit SNES controller is superior to the 8 bit, both in comfort and functionality, but both are excellent pads.

N64 and on are vastly different.  The WiiU gamepad pro is freaking awesome, and I love it.  Very comfy!

The 360 pad is my go to cause, well, it's an Xinput had and I'm invested in both wireless dongles and controllers and they show no sign of becoming obsolete.  For platformers however I'm a big fan of the old Madcatz Fightpad for 360:

 

This thing was designed as a 'Fighting game game pad' resulting in great button and dpad for platformers.  It also has a switch to assign the dpad to dpad, l-stick or r-stick so it's easily adaptable without even mapping in games.

I still call it a controller, but the only one I really use anymore is an saitek x52. I've still got my old xbox original big boy as well, but that runs on my 98 machine as the hack usb drivers don't work on 64bit systems

[Chiyawa]

Bought an XBox One X controller. Been loving it. Though, I still find PlayStation Controllers (PS2) are more ergonomic. I grew up from Nintendo, so yeah, I always mixed up the buttons.
