Playing Enduro Racer with one of those made me a real man.

As much as I'd like to be nostalgic my favourite pad is the 360 one. Haven't tried an Xbox one pad yet.

favorite pad iv ever owned was a 3rd party one for the snes. was about 25% bigger than a normal snes pad and felt so nice in my hands.

I had this and it was the best I've used! I actually only binned it the other week as it was wrecked!

It came in handy for games such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter...

That looks well smart. Do the top 4 coloured buttons correspond with the main 4 buttons in some way? I'm guessing they provide auto-fire?

Yeah they look like turbo selectors to me.

yeah turbo button selection. but back then no real need of them unless you where pap at games

PS joypad, the analogue sticks are like an extension of my brain!

360 pad or dreamcast

If the XBox One's pad was less slippy on the hand grips I'd say that one but as it is a bit slippy, I'll have to stick with the 360 pad.

I'm so disappointed no one has yet mentioned the best controller ever created?!

The first one with analog controls I believe?

pretty sure the saturn analogue pad was released before the n64 was, but anyway no, the vectrex and atari 5200 controllers were around in the early 80's

N64 pad was revealed long before the saturn analogue pad

I would say for comfort the DS4 is the best so far with the 360 pad a close 2nd.

Rose tinted specs on I would go for the Snes pad. It felt so right....

Couldnt buy one though!

Anyway, the n64 controller was trash.

Having not had a proper play with a ps4 OR a ONE, mine has to be the 360 pad. with the chat pad add-on thingy.

N64 pad was clearly designed for people with three hands!

For me it's xbox 360 controller closely followed by DS4.

Alpherah · 20 Feb 2014 at 07:52

360 - xb1 - ds4

Although ds4 would pip xb1 if they woke up and put the sticks in the right place

Daley Thompson's Decathlon must have been an extinction event for these things, I was really young at the time but as a family we must have went through two or three of them.

For me it is a close toss up between the DS4 and the Xbone pad. The Xbone probably pips it simply because I have used it more and thus have become more acustomed to its size/shape/weight.

Following on would be the Dreamcast > 360 and then lagging behind the DS3.

Snes controller, set the standard for controllers we use today on other consoles.

Not just in Titanfall guise, just the Xbox One controller, I used my 360 pad the other day to download the free GWG, and it felt horrible.

Isnt that a strange feeling? I remember thinking before the new consoles came out how it would improve on the 360 controller and when I started using the xbox one I wasnt sure whether I liked it better but going back to a 360 controller it feels like they have made genuine advancements.
