Your favorite console controller

Thinkin of it, the official Japanese 6-Button-Pads were far better.

Within the ordinary 3-Button-Pads there were lots of differences, some were good in every way, others were crap or broken the day you've brought them.

what about pc controllers?
I've got a sidewinder freestlye pro that kicks ass with tie fighter and other flight sims but really sucks with just about everything else. The gravis gamepad pro is probably the workhorse of pc joysticks but everysince I started using my PSDS1 i haven't used except when my roommate wants to get schooled at street fighter.
my friends use xbox grips. I guess you can splice them with usb cords and download a driver from somewhere. I think the trick was to connect all the same colors and leave the odd one out and tie it off. and with detachable cord thingy you don't neccasarily(sp?) have to ruin a perfectly good controller. anybody know of similiar tricks? like for the snes controller? or the DC?

Japanese, and evolution 2 saturn pads were the best. Light, good wearing, well designed and great D-pad! the nights pad was excellent too. Jus that bit more to hold onto than the DC pad.

The Saturn arcade stick is believed to be better than the DC one as well!

Well there is no perfect controller because everyone had different size hands and different ways of thinking.

I perfer the Sega Saturn controller. 6 button and the L and R.
It doesnt have a select button which I like because select served no perpose on snes when it was there.
The 6 buttons make much sense for fighters.

X Y Z
HighPunch middle low
A B C
high block low

The dpad was smooth and large. The problem with dc is that its so small you hit mutiple directions alot.

The only problem with saturn is MegaMan X 4 the jump and charge are side by side making them hard to press at the same time.
