    gamecube controller might look retarded, but it's actually pretty great. Comes in second right after "run-of-the-mill-xbox-style" for me, with it being preferable for games designed for it (obvious but still).

    As for sticks.....

    Buttons are on the wrong side, if you are right handed you hold the stick with right hand and press the buttons with left.

    That's how I learned to handle the joystick on C64, we didn't have arcades where I grew up. Holding the stick with right hand came naturally.

    Yeah, and I bet when you were six you probably didn't like some of the best RPG's of all time either you munted cunt. I judge a controller based on how it feels AFTER my balls have dropped retard.

    Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. It was released in 2003 and is still extremely popular.

    The amiga stick designed: Competition Pro

    Very sturdy. It even had auto-fire! And it was basically the only choice you had if you wanted to play Summer Games once and don't buy a new joystick after.

    My go-to favorite for right now is my 360 controller. It wasn't my first but it's certainly lasted me at least 4 years of infrequent use. Still has the little grips on the analogues. The controller is big enough, the d-pad is garbage but the buttons and triggers feel just right.

    I would say the PS4 controller also feels very good but to my dismay the build quality might not be there. I've only been given hand-me downs but I've always had problems with stick sensitivity. The d-pad feels very nice I hate the placement of the start/"share" (fuck that button) buttons. Buttons are good too.

    What should be mentioned is how great Nintendo has made their controllers as of late. The Wii-U pro controller is basically a 360 controller with un-fucked D-Pad, and I've heard similarly good things about the Switch pro controller. I also have a soft-spot for the GC controller for how nice and sturdy it feels, and the duality between the two sticks is excellent depending on the game. Sadly it does make certain genres impossible to play, which I'm not a fan of.

    I also have a fondness for Logitech controllers. It was my first PC-native controller and it felt like a nice in-between of Playstation and Xbox. Very bulky, very simple. I liked it but it did not last me long.

    EDIT: The triggers are buttons for chrissake, very PS2. Love the design for some reason as well. Screams cheap 2000s hardware.

    Lies. Your balls never dropped you cuck spastic. By the way, I was around that age and enjoyed some of the best RPGs. Likely, you were born with an extra chromosome.

    I agree. You're a 28 year old retard shitposting on an internet forum, getting all sensitive and angry about some shit that I wrote. It doesn't get more cuck than that. Faggots like you are poster boys for the incel movement. Go jerk off into your mom's panties and cry about it some more.

    Fucking hilarious that you take what the Cuckdex's SJW, Chris Priestly moderators think. You have a nice echo chamber of cucks going on in here. You got all homotional about a controller, and I straight destroyed your ass like a fucking bull. I hope you don't start following me around like the rest of those cuck stalkers all mad about the verbal ass whippings I dish out.

    ItsanextraChromosome pretty exposed himself.

    By the way, I don't fucking live on these forums like you do. Unlike you, I give two fucks what anyone on here thinks. This place is just a site full of cucked out sperglords.

    Right, because I was 100% serious when referencing your tag. Chill the fuck out faggot, if you can take a dick you can definitely take a joke. It's cute that you can delude yourself into thinking you've somehow won this verbal exchange when the only thing you've done is call everyone a cuck.

    You also talk a lot of shit for someone that's, in all likelihood, under 5'10 and either over 250 pounds or under 160. I'd put my fucking life on it that you've never properly lifted a weight in your life, and I'd slap the fucking shit out of you if we were face to face.

    :lol: We got a wannabe tough cuck up in here. Get the fuck out of here. You got homotional and admitted you're an imbecile. I didn't need to do much when you're ready to throw yourself under the bus.

    I have to say it's definitely someone with an extra chromosome that talks about violence over the internet about a fucking controller. What an absolute fucking moron you are.

    As I said, move on and don't be following me like the leagues of other Cuckdexers that are pissed that I exposed them as well.

    Note that you didn't deny any of my accusations. Come on mate, you don't want to put your money where your mouth is? Doesn't even have to be of your face, just do a back double bicep pose so we can see those gains. On god I'll post a pic of me if you do it because I have nothing to hide, I know I'm a fucking chad.

    I was always fond of the Genesis controllers even if they lacked buttons early on.

    I never owned one of the later 6 button ones, but I found it fit my hands better than the tinier SNES ones.

    Still using the one I got from 2006.

    I prefer having the D-pad where it is on that since I despise analog sticks. If you need controls fine enough for something like that, I'd rather just use a mouse and KB. For that reason I prefer the old PS1 controller without those sticks that was slimmer.

    How dare you call this cheap 2000s hardware! :D I still use this exact modell since eternity and it is undestroyable. But yeah, some analogue triggers would be good. Interestingly its successor the Logitech Rumblepad F310 has analogue triggers, but they managed to fuck up the analogue sticks which have enourmous deadzones.
