At the moment I use my 8bitdo pro2. It was kinda expensive but its a huge upgrade from my no name switch controllers and awful gamesube one from powera.

Also, the 3ds had really good controls (we don’t talk about the c stick)

  • PS2

    • best d-pad ever made
    • comfortable to my big hands without being uncomfortable to friends’ regular-sized hands
    • pressure sensitivity all over the place, even if that did get underutilized
    • versatile design that’s equally comfortable to use for 2D and 3D games and doesn’t specifically favor a small number of genres
    • smooth, strong, and yet quiet rumble
    • good heft
    • uses a cord so no fucking around with batteries
    • sensibly named and located Start and Select buttons (Everyone‘s been dropping the ball on that front, lately. Sony most of all.)
