  Xbox series X Elite controllers. I’ll never go back. They have a good weight and feel.

  Sorta on topic, what do people use for N64 emulation? I can’t find a 6 button controller that I like.

    I used a Steam Controller for the N64 stuff. The right pad worked great for the C buttons.

  I picked up a Gamesir x2 recently and it really ticks all but one of the boxes for me. It’s a liiiiittle too big to carry around in a pocket, and a liiiittle too small if you’ve got bigger hands, but its still great at what it does.

    +1 for the Gamesir, completely dropped sitting at my desktop. Now my main screen is for shows and the secondary is for game streaming through SteamLink.

    I grabbed the X2 because it seemed the most compact without sacrificing triggers or joysticks, but I now think the G8 would have been a better choice with the larger grip

      Yeah I’m thinking the same. The X2 was my pick because I wanted something the size of a DS, but its just a little too big for that. I’ll be picking up a g8 to replace it later since it seems like a better fit for using around the house.

  To be specific, the Xbox One Elite controller. I really liked the Series 2 but it fell apart on me. I never had much issue with the original. I’m a glutton for punishment though, and I’d get another Series 2. I don’t mind working on them so it isn’t the biggest deal

  I really love the Switch Pro controller, but I wish it had analog triggers. I also have love for the GameCube controller. I am at home with the N64 controller, but I can’t say it’s a favorite. It’s probably because I have bias, but I’ve never cared for any of Sony’s offerings. Something about the sticks doesn’t feel right with both being at the bottom

  Logitech RumblePad 2 for the PC.

  Basically a knockoff clone of the PlayStation 2 controller for the PC, from around 2008 or so I think.

  Still mostly works somehow, except the mode swap button. I don’t even need that button anyways.

  The PS5 controller is pretty sweet.

  But the PS1 Dualshock is the original version of that, and has influenced basically everything since. It’s the Ocarina of Time of controllers.

  That second analogue stick fixed everything to do with cameras in early 3D games.

  For VR it’s the Oculus Touch. Takes everything about the classic Dualshock design and adds hand tracking.

  I love the XBOX Lunar Shift controller, it seems like they added a nice rubber coat around the - what do you call these - wings? so it has a very nice feel to it. Sadly, of course, still no hall sticks.

  But I also haven‘t really tried a dozen different controllers so I‘m not sure how helpful my opinion is.

  The chameleon wireless PS2 pelican controller. Fits hands perfectly, light weight, just feel perfect, I’d pay so much to be able to use it on modern systems.
