What are YOUR favorite controllers?
FritzWhite:
I like a lot of the same controllers like SNES and Xbox/Xbox 360, but one I really like that hasn't been mentioned is the Wii U gamepad. I thought it was really neat how physically rotating around while holding the gamepad would change the perspective for the Toad levels in 3D world. Being able to look at the tv or the gamepad was cool too. Some think it's gimmicky, but heck, I like it. Blowing the controller is funny but also a little ridiculous.
Jaguar controller feels good in my hands too. So many people dislike the # pad, but I like the multitude of options it offers and it works well once you get the hang of what does what. The overlays help with that.
Arseen:
- Ascii Pad SNES (like official pad but with turbos).
- Wii U Pro Controller.
- Xbox 360 controller.
- Dualshock 3 with added trigger pieces.
- NES "Dog Bone". This one I haven't tried but looks good.

Not a whole lot of love for the N64 controller (probably because it's terrible)
My five
1. Playstation 2 DUal Shock
2. Xbox 360
3. Nintendo Pro Controller
4. SNES
5. NES Dogbone
Special hatred for all things motion controlled. I'm looking at you Power Glove and Wii.
I recently bought 2 knock off dogbone controllers. WHile the A/B/Start/Select buttons are fine the D-pad is awful. It appears to be a problem with them trying to save a quarter of a cent of plastic on each d-pad. I really want to 3-d print a copy of the original d-pad but I have no experience in doing such things.

If you do not like the N64 controller try the Hori controller. It is a more traditional layout for the N64.
On the subject of crappy controllers I have a sega master system controller were the cord comes out of the side of the pad where your hand should be.
It is the worst.

Hell yeah! It's a case where you can ask "what were they thinking?".
